Don't recall I made that assumption...you did...now after wading through your gibberish about "man falling from grace and therefore imperfect and then jumping to the fault being that the Mother chooses imperfect lifestyles, such as drinking, drugs etc.. what is it? You can't work both sides of the street...either God is in charge and control all...hence prayer works or....what.......
Seems to me that is exactly what you were 'trying' to brush by me, (implying)!
Mother, drugs, imperfection .. it ALL falls back on Man making his/her own decisions and those decisions are OWNED by them alone!
A little scriptural history will help ..
In the garden of eden, man was given only One command .. "Though Shall Not eat of the tree of knowledge of what is good and bad"!
This was not a Magical tree giving man some kind of in-site into what was Really good and bad .. They already Knew because they had been told by God and were perfect beings.
When they ate the fruit of the tree .. They were saying that THEY could make their own decisions on what is good and bad and no longer needed God's guidance!
That is also why they were expelled from eden so as Not having the chance to eat of the tree of eternal life .. Life that was now sinful and .. Imperfect!
From that time forward man was given the freedom to make his own decisions!
Make sense?
Prayers are for those seeking guidance and comfort .. knowing that in the end .. God will again become the one to lead us from the darkness of sin and give us perfection in eternal life!
Ever known anyone who grew new arms or legs by praying?
I'm done.
