Re: Satanic Bible

Always though the religion/god "Crom" had the balance just about right,

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, and why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valor pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!

Re: Answered prayer

John

No amount of praying made a sod of difference either

Maybe in your experience but in mine totally opposite. I can truly say my prayers were being answered and they were not for small things either.


John 15: 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

and

James 5 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.

Re: Answered prayer

Hey Chico, if you have a main line to God and he makes your prayers come true, could you do me a favour and pray for my lottery numbers to come up this week. Lotto and Lotto extra ta.
If you do and they do I wll donate half the winnings to a charity of your choice.

Re: Answered prayer

Chico,

Why don't you pray for him to raise your IQ by quite a few points. No offense, but you need it. If that happened - I would be impressed:lol

Right it is in then, I'm off to my local place of worship to be born again, after that irrefutable proof ...

I mean, some bloke walks around telling everyone, after a 3 1/2 year drought, hey that was me what prayed to God and asked for no rain. What would the options be?

1) either people dismiss him as a raving looney who babbles nonsense or

2) People believe him and give him a good kicking for being such a raving looney for asking for a 3 1/2 year drought in the first place.

Re: Answered prayer

Why is this thread going on so long? Put it to bed. We have established that Chico is a religious loon who has nothing interesting to say about religion in general. His own beliefs are supremely uninteresting as he obviously hasn't thought about them, just accepted what another brainwashed loon told him.

There are interesting conversations to be had about the cosmos, our place in it, the possibility of a greater being etc. but not where Chico's involved.

Re: Answered prayer

As a non-Christian who had never heard of Jesus, would there have been a place in Heaven for Elijah?

[ChicoLondon]

Re: Answered prayer

Lucifer you keep getting bogged down with labels. Elijah obviously believed in God. Right - Jesus is God. Would you like a description of the Biblical concept of the Trinity?

Re: Answered prayer

For feck's sake, Chico, why didn't you say that several pages ago. The original question was "is it possible for a non-Christian to go to Heaven?" and you seem to be saying the answer is "yes". Why all the beating around the bush?

Presumably then, a contemporary follower of Judaism could also go to heaven if they lived a good life?

By the same token, is it possible for a Muslim to go to Heaven, as they too worship the God of the Old Testament, just as Elijah did.

Re: Answered prayer

I always thought satanism was just an excuse to kiss goats' bottoms. Can't think why anyone needs an excuse personally.
