So you tell me why God ignored all the English prayers, genius.

Is it he answered the prayers of the Croats?

Or that God doesn't care about soccer?

This is what I was arguing on page one of that other thread, and of course I got derided. Strap in.

I doubt it.

The answer to this is in the answer to my previous question.

I'm sure y'all can tell us where God draws the line on what He cares about and what He ignores... with Scripture to back it up?

I think it's pretty safe to say at the very least, God preordained what has happened and will happen in the World Cup.

Are you saying He rigged the tournament?

If you did get “ derided”, which you don’t, it would either be for your partisan tub-thumping doomongerimg about the state of this forum...or...possibly...for your claims about your fantastical and frankly unbelievable life experiences such as: people in your block jumping out of windows thinking they can fly, you king-fu fighting in bars and crashing through tables with people who have sexually molested you, you saving “countless” lives on the street using CRP, you being visited by and conversing with angels who told you not to kill yourself...etc and so forth.

I'm pretty sure that God doesn't care one little whit about the World Cup.

OR the Super Bowl. OR the World Series.

I do, however, think he'd be alarmed at the sheer amount of money spent on it and how that dwarfs the money spent on actually helping people.

No, probably not 'alarmed'. Saddened.

Or for my claims that actual, righteous people don't pray for their team to win the World Cup, or for any other selfish reason.

All the rest of your post is your own piss-poor opinion of me, which, really, you should work on. God forbid people should actually have a more interesting, more abundant life than you have. And why you blame this on ME, I will never understand.

I don’t have a “piss-poor” opinion of you, you don’t have a “more abundant” life than I do (and your choice of adjective isn’t appropriate as it relates to a spiritual life), I don’t “blame” you for anything (what are you talking about?).

I just think your claims about your life experiences are mostly fantastical imaginings designed to make other, more gulible readers, think that you do in fact have a “more abundant” life than they do.

Your over-sensitivity and prickliness indicates that I hit the nail on the head.

No, you idiot, it just means that I am sick and tired of your "sour-grapes" whining about my life. Over-sensitive? You call me a liar, practically to my face, and expect me to just say, "Yeah, whatever." You must be dissatisfied with your own life to be doing this. That's not MY fault.

"and your choice of adjective isn’t appropriate as it relates to a spiritual life"

Actually, it is.

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." -- John 10:10, KJV


Your limits are placed upon you, not by others, but by yourself.

As Jesus said, [If ye had faith of a grain of mustard seed,] "nothing shall be impossible unto you." Your unbelief in yourself is not my fault. Stop taking it out on me.

No I'm saying if the bible is true, God foresaw it and did not take measures to change it. OR, He foresaw something else and DID take measures to change it to what we see happening.

Your claims about meeting angels who talked with you and convinced to not kill yourself, and claims of you fighting back the fear to got into bars where men sexually molest you and you do marital arts on them and crash them through bar tables etc etc are simply not believable.

That only a few of us have the decency and honesty to tell you this is a shame of your fellow Christians who pretend to believe you because they a) don’t want to upset you, and b) they don’t want to appear to be siding with me.
