miraculous cures, when we know good people who died in spite of prayers?

I'll tell you another one, when I was in Bible school, it was a missionary school, many of us were single hoping for a mate, anyway, they would tell these "miraculous" stories of how people went overseas to some villiage and then met another missionary who was their "perfect" mate. yea, right. They did forget however to mention, that about 90% of people who go to the mission field as a single will remain that way for life. We should talk about unanswered prayer and the suffering it brings instead of all the "success" stories.

First off, Good question... Secondly, why do evolutionists or Atheists tell storys about turning into worm food, or "transgentic" animals...when we die and are buried in a casket, and there is no such thing a transgentic...? Sure, I know lots of good people that have died even with lots of prayer...but thats because God knows best...I lost both my parents, my yonger brother, and pretty much everything that I loved, in a fire... (I was set in my beliefs as an evolutionist at the time this happened) Sometimes God uses bad things to turn bad situations into good ones. I was an evolutionist, when I lost everything, I looked for somewhere to go...evolution wasn't it. So I tried a church, some people put me up...I started learning how to cope with the grief...so on and so forth. In the end if my parents hadn't died, I wouldn't have looked for something to cling it...something to love...that something was God... The point of telling you that is to say that yes, people die, even with lots of prayer. But other people live, My aunt should have died, cancer...But she didn't. God knows what is best, and taking the lives of my parents was best, because they were inlove with God, while I was sinning right and left. Now I know I will see them again. Lots of people die, and I can't tell you why. But everything that happens has a reason...God doesn't close a door without opening a window... Good people die, bad people live. Thats what happen to me, and not a day goes by I don't wish I could have taken their place for a death penilaty that had to be filled. But God wanted me for his kingdom, and he wanted my family with him...Bad things happen, but through adversity, comes blessing.
God is a God of Love, and a God of amazing gifts...life is a gift my friend...use it well, I beg you
God bless

Well you see, it has nothing to do with good peop0le dying young, miraculous cures, etc. It has to do with trust. Do you trust yourself for figuring out what kind of medicine you need when you are sick? Or do you go to a person whose trained to know what it is you need?
With Jesus, it's the need for knowing what will happen to us when we pass away. It's the need to know who to trust in life's problems.
God loves those that trust him. He loves us so much that he makes us his children by that criteria. Those people that do not trust him he has called something other than his children, something worse.
So I think that Christians that tell too many stories miss the point. They become an encyopedia of testimonies. They move from tyhe sight of the Gospel, something that we are supposed to have ready to tell.

Should Christians stop telling what they believe, because many people died despite prayer. How many people do you know that lived because someone had prayed?

All prayers are answered, some "yes" some "no" and some "wait"
Sharing stories about miracles gives hope to others and brings glory to God.
My life is one such miracle. Praise God!

I don't know but I guess it is to not lose hope. I've heard all prayers are answered but sometimes the answer is no.
Others believe that suffering purifies the soul and prepares us for the next life.

Similar stuff, praying, ...
Jesus, faith, (but mostly ancient stories, that's what I've learned)
To littledreamergirl: A current theory is the theory that has never been refuted. That means we've defended ourselves for hundreds of years

Because there might be something to it. Jesus restored life with a touch and today we have CPR. Maybe if people paid more attention to WHAT and HOW Jesus was doing things we'd be more advanced.

Christians give accounts of real healings. Why some people are healed when others are not, we may never understand. That is the hardest part of faith. Believing even when it is not easy to believe.

I've not heard such stories. Then again, I pay no attention to fanatics outside of Y!A, where tormenting them here is great fun for me.
