I think the scariest part about this is that you believe in this freakin' garbage.

This is a perfect example what happens to someone when they're brainwashed into believing that a fictitional book is true.

If you felt it was 'God's Will' to sit back and physically WATCH the entire torture and murder happen you'd happily do it, huh?

Sorry, but you people make me sick.

thats a question for Jesus. Perhaps you should quit blaming Christians for the fucked up things that happened in your life and place the blame on the few people directly involved.

openeyes

Does she get to credit actual people for the good things in her life, or does she have to thank Jesus and God for that part?

Amie

She can give credit to lizards for all I care

openeyes

Well, you must care a little if you're bothering to post to this thread.

Amie

It was merely a suggestion for Debbie to place blame accordingly.

openeyes

So you are agreeing that it's best to look sideways and inward for blame and credit instead of "upward"?

Amie

No but only because whats "best" for me isn't best for someone else.

Amy, No need to get your knickers in a snit. You sound angry at me for bringing this up and asking Christians how this can happen, when the bible clearly says prayers will be answered. Spurly believes the prayers that weren't answers were people that prayed for a Santa Claus list, which I found to be an insult to those of us who truly prayed for an anwer. Are you angry because it hits the truth of what is really going on here?

Spurly doesn't appear to have the courage to really face my question head on and it looks like you need to accuse me of something so that you can keep your comfort level. I am not accusing all Christians of what happened to me, most abuse in my life was caused by Christians though. I am sorry that it bothers you but I am not going to go back into denial just for your comfort level. Perhaps you need to try to understand what it is that is really making you uncomfortable and angry about what happened to me, instead of being angry with me for speaking the truth.

Why would I ask Jesus about this ? He never has answered a prayer before why should I believe that now he is going to answer my prayer now. If you are angry about my story why don't YOU ask Jesus why he didn't answer my prayers, perhaps YOU will get the answer as he ignored my pleas. Then please let me know what he says, especially why I wasn't good enough in his eyes to even get some comfort from what I was going through. I would really like to know Amy. Take your anger up with your god, not me.

Bree

Let's try not to take this too personally, okay?

Debbie T wasn't blaming Christians for what happened in her childhood. She's simply asking the Christians participating in this discussion why Jesus didn't answer her prayers when the Bible (God's Word) says that one need only ask to receive His blessings. I don't see evidence that she blamed anyone but God for not rescuing her from her situation.

Cool your jets.
