if 10 people had cancer and all prayed to god but only 2 people lived?

Question

does that mean god didn't care about the other 8

Answer 1

It means that the survival rate of the "prayers' is less than the survival rate of the average cancer patient.

Answer 2

That’s a very common belief. But I have found it helpful to search out what God himself says about this. Genesis 2:17 - " But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die. " If a father warns his son that doing a certain thing will cost him his life, would you say that the father wants the son to do it?’ Then what really is God’s will regarding mankind? Jesus said: “This is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son [that is, perceives and acknowledges that Jesus truly is God’s Son] and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him at the last day.” (John 6:40)’


Ecclesiastes 9:11 - "I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all."

So we also have "time and unforeseen occurrence"... Illustration: A piece of concrete may break off from a building and fall on a pedestrian. Did God cause it? If so, is it fair to charge the building owner with negligence? . . . As the Bible says, for the pedestrian, it was an unplanned and unforeseen occurrence that he was right there when the concrete fell.’ ‘The Bible tells us that if we avoid bad conduct we safeguard our life. (Prov. 16:17) Jehovah knows what the future holds. By means of the Bible he tells us how we can enjoy a life much longer than that of people who ignore what he says. (John 17:3; Prov. 12:28)

Answer 3

god is imaginary. Prayer is imaginary. There is no power in prayer. It is a total waste of time.

Try this, go for a whole week without praying or thanking Jesus for anything. The same things that always happen to you will happen to you. The next week, pray for something unusual to happen to you. Something god could easily do, like keep meat from spoiling that you leave out on your kitchen counter for a week. At the end of the week, the meat will be spoiled.

Asking a non-existant being to help you through prayer has predictable results. Nothing happens.

Answer 4

Wow, that is the way of life. life and death doesn't show that god doesn't care about you, but it just shows if you are worthy or not, because God loves every single person, since he created them, but if they sin, then he hates their sin, bu is merciful. So all in all, God cares about all 10, but the 8 weren't worthy.
Also, all of God's actions have a purpose to them. No matter what he does, like make a flood, that has a purpose.

Answer 5

NO, that does not mean that he does not care about the other 8, things happen for a reason. Maybe he wanted the other 8 to be in his presence!! Which is a Great thing!!

Answer 6

No, it just meant that he had other plans. Who am I to judge the plans of God? Maybe if one of the patients that died had lived he would end up living a tortured life of abuse and pain.

Answer 7

"Live, live, live". That's all you ever talk about.

"Baby, baby, baby"- That's all you ever say to me. (Hank William Jr, movie)

"If, if, if" - That's all you ever seem to think about.

Now, let me ask you something.

Are you nuts?
