Question

It can't be god because they are damned to hell anyway, right?

Answer 1

Cause satan is or patron and benefactor. ^_^

Answer 2

My god, you're right! Why the heck am I still alive? I should have been damned a long time ago! I mean, I must have reserved my spot in hell when I was five, and put my name tag on the door and moved in all my furniture by the time I was 21. Why did god make my various ailments temporary? Shouldn't I have died when I first had chicken pox? After all, so many other children had died of it before science created vaccines for such ailments. Why is god powerless to kill people with ailments science has created cures for? I think I'll ask that question to a christian or two...

For exactly the same reason that some believers are cured of ailments such as cancer when there has been LOADS of prayer: Medical treatment, proper follow through on the part of the patient, and good fortune. The prayer did nothing for them other than ease the minds of those offering them.

Answer 4

inquiring for prayer in help of regardless of reason or difficulty is of outrage to the requester ability that merely religious sentiments are required. If an atheist have been to grant secular help they had possibly no longer be welcome because of the fact secular goodwill does not extra wholesome with the international-view of those believers. it style of feels prayer merely works if anybody's on board with it, and somebody asserting they're wishing properly with out prayer possible upsets the magic circle those praying have imagined they have created. Atheists additionally comprehend that praying for somebody's well-being is often counter-effective because of the fact it shows a undeniable mistrust in customary medicine. If I have been worried for a relative or chum's ailment i could somewhat use my time making particular the medical medical care became into the final obtainable then spend it needlessly inquiring for divine intervention that merely can no longer ensue. As for somebody asserting grace previously a meal i became into approximately to share ... i could recuse myself from the table somewhat than go through the indignity of having magic incantations reported over my nutrition in my presence. I spent lots of ultimate 3 hundred and sixty 5 days with an in any different case secular academic agency that habitually provided up a sort of quasi animist/christian prayer, and as much as I protested its inappropriateness I had to absent myself on each and every occasion such prayers have been provided. i ask your self what share christians could be accepting of a meal in the event that they knew the bread have been provided to Ceres or the animal they have been approximately to consume have been slaughtered in an offering to Baal?

Answer 5

You might be right, even Jesus did not perform miracles on people who did not have faith.

It can be God, but I do not know if He would do that or not. I know that there are several groups of people praying for the healing of the people.

One thing is sure, God does not want anyone to go to hell, but He will honor the choice we make about our eternal life.

Answer 6

No! I had the coolest thing happen to me. I was an atheist, then sometime after 1991 I became an agnostic, believing in some sort of fashion in something out there greater than me. I have been a Christian since 2003. Anyway, I got sober in 1991. When I came to believe in some sort of something greater than myself, I would pray, and it was amazing how my prayers were totally answered. I mean if I wanted the skies to clear, they did. Laugh if you want. I had plenty of experiences (no drugs or alcohol involved, and I am sane, in case you wondered). Jesus couldn't have been farther from my mind. Then in 1995 I met some women who were Christians, from different faiths, and they wanted to get me saved. They explained to me that God isn't with you unless you have accepted Jesus Christ as a bridge to him. Now, as a Christian, I KNOW this is not the truth! God loved me always, even before time, and he was with me the entire time. He kept me from dying in car accidents. He kept me from being raped when I hitchhiked with strangers, drunk, in other countries. Etc., etc. Now I have accepted the gift of his son with open arms. God gives us every chance possible to change our minds.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Answer 7

It is the mercy of God that he does you favours. He has given everyone chance to turn to him until death comes upon them. God is just. If an atheist does good to someone, like feed the poor, he will have some reward in the world but not in the after life because he has denied God. Reward in the world could be honour, worldy wealth. It is because they have not done action to please God but rather someone else or get something in return. Reward of the afterlife is for those who believe in God and do good sincerely for his sake. And whether Athiest believe in God or not, he is still their Lord and their provision in life is only with him.

Answer 8

Do not confuse yourself and think that someone who is cured is a product of a miracle. The body heals itsself all the time. A miracle is something that can NOT be duplicated (healing the leper or lame man that had never walked in his life). These were not cases of someone going to a Dr. and getting healed gradually over a 6 month period, these were instantaneous. A true miracle!

Answer 9

Intercession and propitiation are powerful spiritual realities.

Everyone has friends and relatives who pray for them.

Some of those loved ones, who have already died and received their reward, pray before the very throne of God.

God never ceases to acknowledge the prayers of the just ... even if the ones they pray for don't deserve to be blessed.

So far as being damned to hell is concerned ... it ain't over 'till it's over ... and Jesus is the only one who's fit to judge.

Answer 10

It is a combination of medical science and the patients 'belief' that they will be cured. It doesn't matter where that belief comes from the fact that they 'believed' they would get better allowed them to do so. If you don't believe you can do something then you never will.

Answer 11

God can certainly heal anyone he chooses for any reason he chooses. If God wanted the Atheist dead, be sure that person would be dead.

All the knowledge that we have comes from God, so even when a doctor "heals" a patient, he or she did so with knowledge that God has allowed us to have.
