​
Now if you pray for an ill baby and doesn't get healed, then what about what the NT ACTUALLY SAYS about prayer?
​
"IF it is according TO GOD'S will, then it shall be added unto you."
​
With a stipulation like that there is no way to tell whether something was actually affected by prayer or not. There is no need to pray since god is going to do what he wants anyway.Why is there such a fuss then about praying as it makes no difference to the outcome. One may as well shake beads and dance for all the effect available.
​
If a child is terminally ill then it must also be the will of god and who are we to intervene?
