@Emosaur [quote]So how do you guys explain answered prayers from people following other religions?[/quote]

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:20-21

Yahweh still takes care of His creation, including those who refuse to believe in Him.

@Emosaur It is the most reliable source in most western countries. Courts are set up after the Bible. In all US courts the judge makes you put your hand on the Bible before you testify. It is the book laws are made from, countries are founded on, and happiness is guaranteed.

@Carazaa [quote]Where's your evidence? Without evidence it's just your opinion, not the actual truth.[/quote]

Amen, sister, amen. The Word of God is the only solid truth we have in this fallen world which makes it more reliable than any other book written by man.

@GodSpeed63 Those verses don't even support you claim. Instead of answering the prayers of unbelievers, He darkened their hearts.

Do you actually think your claim will change the fact that God's Word is true and reliable? Use your head and your heart, dude.

@Emosaur [quote]You're confusing the terms "fact" and "belief" again.[/quote]

Not a chance, dude.

@Carazaa Given that the US is supposed to have a separation between Church and State, I think they would have provisions for people of other faiths and even Atheists. I know that here in Australia, I have always given an affirmation when I've appeared in Court or before the Parole Board. I also know that the Quran is available for people of the Muslim faith.

@Emosaur You are asking questions that God answers in the Bible. Please read it for yourself if you are truly interested in God, not just arguing because you hate Christians. That is really taking up our valuable time for people who are hurting and want prayers and respect our views and answers. 🙂

@Bushranger There is only one Bible, one Jesus, no matter how you slice it. The western world is founded on Christianity no other religion.

@Emosaur FYI, I have a Masters degree in Science, and I am a born again Christian. Why does god allow people to get hurt?

1. People hurt others in this world because they are greedy, and selfish, and rebellious against God!
2. God wants us to be loving and there are consequences if we do not love God and all people. Its called sin, which will be punished by God.
3. Sometimes God will let you endure something so you will get on your knees and turn to him and also understand others who are hurting. God is about molding us to be more loving.

I am not answering any more questions before you have read the Bible, because obviously you are curious unless you just want to fight.

@Carazaa If you consider the different versions of the Bible, it could be argued that there is more than one.

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court has, on several occasions, declared that the Constitution maintains a separation between Church and State. Prayer in schools was deemed unconstitutional, etc.

Accepting that other faiths are equally valid does not diminish your own faith.

@Bushranger No but not starting the day with prayer will bring no protection for the US schools now and that is the reason for the school shootings as well as the violence in US movies and the love of the gun, and not helping the poor and the needy with affordable housing, more.

@Carazaa We don't have daily prayers in Australian schools and, guess what, no shootings. Overall, I'd say that Australians are far less concerned with religion compared to Americans, but we seem to get along pretty well.

@Bushranger God has declared [b]"I am God, and there is no other."[/b] Also see what He says in Deuturonomy 28 what happens if we follow him.

@Emosaur Then why in the world ask me questions about the Bible! I will not answer any more questions from you, because you don't take it serious! Please do not bother and troll all the time!!
