If that happens, would you pray for me, gospelman?

Gladly and I would expect it to work.


What if I said, "No need for that. I am ready for Jesus to take me now. Why are you praying that I remain on this carnal earth? I will sin more here in the human body. Why do you want me to stay longer in this body born of sin? Do you wish ill of me? I will be better off when this physical body is dead. You must hate me to want to keep me in this world longer."

"He who loves his life on earth will lose it. He who hates his life will gain everlasting life."
I would be assuming that if you asked for prayer you would want to be healed. Personally I would much rather be in heaven than here. From what I gather it is a much nicer place.

Thank you!

Then why would any true Christian want to participate in Faith Healing???

It seems almost a sin, to cling to this sinful body, this sinful place, too much.

Why not just go Home?

Doesn't make sense.

"Oh please God, heal my body, I want to keep my healthy body born of sin here on earth. I don't want to go to Heaven yet. Oh please god, I don't want to go to Heaven, not yet."

What is that?

See, I'm thinking one would potentially be better off being a Christian who doesn't believe in faith healing.

The Christian who hurries up and dies will be in Heaven more quickly.

For some inexplicable reason, the "Faith Healing Christian" wants to fuss around endlessly with healing the sinful body born of sin, cling to it longer, stay away from heaven and god longer...and just generally stay addicted to carnal earth longer...instead of just letting it go and having faith and going to heaven!

I can't believe how many posts since my last visit. I'll have to get the Cliff Notes version. I'll never catch up. So let me say this: Faith healing is unverifiable at best and unscriptural at worst.

Ether, the fuel of the soul
A very worthy topic for infinite ponderance with an open mind and armed with the most current scientific information.
Good questions bring many different answers, It is fun to monitor the discussion, and difficult to stand aside and watch both sides go at it without interfering. The rankings ajacent to your names have no correlation to your level of ascension.

The fact of the matter is "there is the truth on the grandest scale of knowledge" and very few of you are close enough to even rationalize the "scientific facts" and relate them to "the mysteries of ancient civilizations" to discuss this in depth through keystroke. I am not going to get into a back and forth volley on the specific instances either, however the physical evidence that presents itself to the scientific community with many unanswerable mathematical paradoxal questions are undeniable.

I submit to you my fellow inhabitants, that the answer is right behind your noses. Quark theorism is no longer theory. Biohalographic communication, Ether based; believe it or not is now theorised as the comm link from DNA and to DNA.
and so much more...

Next up ,lovely brothers and sisters you will witness in your lifetime the explanation of the"placebo effect". Even at this point we know that the mere fact that the placebo effect exsists proves that your mind can "program" your body.

Enlightenment will free you from your current anger and confusion, do not discount any one soul as meaningless or unintelligent, it is that there are many positions ones soul might find itself on this plane(t) some are just a slight bit ahead of the others. it all depends on your vantage point. Knowage is using the hubble telescope to see whats out there from your vantage. Ignorance and denial are like beliving you can see all you need to see with the naked eye. Reach out to the others. Use LOVE.

More Soon.

God (YAH) or whatever you want to call the creator is present in all things living and non living elements. You cant be away from YAH. Even if you wanted.

peace.

Correction, he is merely talking about something that is his opinion and not provable fact.

Ever noticed how the definition of God and Heaven changes?

It used to be that Heaven was above us. Now it is not. It used to be, therefore, that God was above us, looking down on us. Now He is not and since He is no longer above us, thus the only way He could possibly see everything we do is if He is now amongst us and everywhere all at once.

However, we are digressing from the main point, in fact, we digressed from the main point quite some way away.

(So many posts since I last looked last night 9pm Monday.)
