... which would you choose? What would you expect if you only prayed? If you only called 9-1-1? For the sake of the question assume that you are the only one around. That way people can't cop out and say they would pray knowing that other people would call 9-1-1.

I would call 911. God would not, and will not help them. If you don't believe me, stop paying your power bill.
See if god cares.

The first prayer out of my mouth would be "Oh Lord help me."
Then I'd call 911 because by that time I would have the phone in my hand.
My first thoughts would be for the Lord's help. Second thought make the call to 911. Third to help the people if I could get in the building. Fourth find water and turn it on.
Never underestimate the power of prayer. I've seen God make a 3 hour trip in 30 minutes. Speeding up time is nothing for the Lord. God can have a fire truck on a routine drill just up the block. Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Well in your unrealistic "hypothetical" question, if I were to pray, it would be for emergency rescue personnel to come and save the people in the burning building. So I would call 911, which would answer that prayer (that hypothetically I can't make). Besides, I'm sure the people in the burning building are doing plenty of praying for someone to call 911 to rescue them.

As a responce to what you suggested to Vot An Why does no longer they compliment God? Did he no longer shield the folk if the firemen stored them? I imply, God had to be there, somone happend to verify this burning construction and new people have been interior, and called 911 in time for a hearth branch to reach and then keep them. confident the Firemen performed an element, yet who do you think of retains them secure additionally? maximum folk supply credit to guy, yet devoid of God guy isn't something. existence on my own does no longer be rather worth living because of fact in the top no longer something might rely

My faith isn't strong enough to save the people by prayer alone so I would call 9-1-1.

Anyone who would pray instead of call 911 is either insane or a complete imbecile.

I would use the common sense God gave me and call 9-1-1.

Since I live in an attitude of prayer 24/7, I would call 911 and Jesus would hear that as my prayer.

I would pray but I would also hand the phone to someone to call 911, who didn't share my faith.
