Riiiiiiiiiiiight, Bryan......whatever you say, guy!

Boy, you Christians are such hypocrites.
Especially the Christians who deny everything Jesus said and did, even the ones who reject the religion Jesus came showing us, even the ones who reject the covenant Jesus offered while assuming they have replaced Jews. Christians can reject the whole worship system of Jesus, they can outlaw God and his commandments and then persecute anyone brave enough to follow his commandments, his worship system and even his Passover while making the bold claim they have a Passover lamb, and all that is completely wierd, but for a Christian to claim the power from a holy day they teach against is just astonishing......

I mean, what are they thinking Thrill?

That is what gets me, the sheer gullability and assumption that you have a power just because it has always been a false assumption. I can't express how strange it is because so many people have always assumed that they have a power, but you can't even explain how it all works because they don't want to talk about the evil feasts of Jesus, but they assume they have the power with no questions, no doubts.(Speaking as a person that was convinced he had the power of the holy spirit for 4 decades)

It's like they are holding up their right hand that is completely empty, but they want you to see the invisible golden hairbrush they are holding and it isn't a joke, they really see it but you know it's not there and so you try and explain to them that their hand is empty but they will never look in their own hand, they can feel it even though there is nothing there because they have conditioned themselves to the thing.

Besides this, they are bald.

So, why doesn't he?

What kind of sick perverted being runs a healing lottery?

A truly benevolent being doesn't grant some people's prayer requests some of the time, while totally ignoring others.
lmao ... yeah, if I couldn't count the medical miricals that happen over the last ten years and predict the number next year ... they might have a better case.

and why when we study their healing powers they go away? well, I should add until we stop looking in depth that is. its like UFO's, the mr they are studied the less they are there.

I watched an Atheist showman on Netflix that was just astonishing, even though he told them that he had no power from God, half of them left there thinking that he did have the power of God no matter what he said. He worked miracles, slaying people in the spirit, it was freaking awesome, wished I could remember his name. If dude wanted to make a billion bucks, he should just became a preacher, heck, I would attend even knowing what he was lol.

I'd say God's favorites are people born here in the USA, which includes many atheists. And his not so favorites are people born in say Nigeria, where hunger and war are real problems for people living there right now. There are about 80 million Christians in Nigeria.

So if God plays favorites, it is hard to understand why He chose this atheist to bless with excellent health, economic prosperity, and freedom, as well as many friends and loved ones. Meanwhile, Christians in Nigeria have been blessed with war and hunger.

You know, it's almost like being a Christian or not has nothing to do with who God chooses as his favorites.

But if every ailment is wiped away for everyone every time then the physical body never dies. Then God becomes a liar when He declared that sin would result in death. The reality is that as each person is complete unique, our life journey is completely unique. Only God knows the outcome of healing or letting someone continue to endure pain. Who knows, this girl could grow up to touch many lives and lead them to Christ through her testimony of healing. Someone else that gets healed could grow up to commit a mass murder. Then you would blame God for healing that person.
How about if he just heals all Christians and no one else? .

If I'm wrong then please tell me what kind of evidence would satisfy you that a miracle from God took place.
Maybe the radiation treatments made the tumor vanish...

Don't cha know, Jeff????????
They weren’t really true Christians...
