Greetings again,
"This caused the swim coach to quit the idiotic practice of making her swimmers swim in tennis shoes for strength training. This was an answered prayer. "
Oh really?
You believe there is no other possible reason that a coach would change an bad policy?
It could ONLY have come about by prayers?
It couldn't POSSIBLY have been because the players complained? or the coach changed his mind?
Thats nonsense - you merely attributed a change in an unpopular policy to your prayers without any evidence of a connection.
"My parents prayed that my knees and ankles would heal. A year later I was on the wrestling team with no problems. "
Oh sure...
No person ever healed in a year without divine intervention ;-)
This is silly - people heal all the time - you merely attributed it to your prayers without any evidence of a connection.
"I prayed that God would guide me to the right College. He did. "
Oh - very funny.
The only way to get to the "right" college is thru divine action.
No-one who doesn't pray ever gets to the "right" college.
This is silly - people get to the "right" college all the time (whatever that means) - you merely attributed it to your prayers because you WANT to believe.
"I prayed that God would alow me to win a highly comptetitive AFROTC scholarship. He did. "
Ha Ha.
You couldn't possibly have won because you deserved it?
Oh no - it HAD to be God's action.
"I pray that God will humble me. He does this ALWAYS."
Oh yah - this is absolute proof of success of prayer - because you could not POSSIBLY be humble without God making it so.
"I pray that God will strengthen and sustain our troops and that they will come to know him. I'm reading now about how an entire Marine batallion (1000 troops) received Christ in Iraq. "
Oh?
So YOUR prayer brought a whole battalion to Christ?
Tell me - which battalion exactly?
Is there a single one of that battalion that attributes this event to YOU?
"I prayed for two opportunities to talk to my immature highschool friends about God. I got those opportunities the next day. "
Oh sure...
A chance to talk to some friends NEVER happens without divine intervention - that HAD to have been your prayers - who ever heard of people having a chance to talk to friends without praying for it to happen?
Ha Ha.
"I prayed for an answer to a personal problem and got it the next day with the specific question answered in the same vocabulary."
Yup - that HAD to be God - no human ever solved a personal problem before without help from God did they?
Mate,
you believe ANYTHING is proof for what you believe.
I may as well say -
" I prayed to Mithra for the sun to come up this morning - and it DID!
Mithra is REAL! "
