You should refer to a specific post number because folks are going off on a tangent due to not reading all the "to's and fro's".

[r9etb]

The "to 27" at the bottom of my post would be the clue....

[verity]

As I said you have not been following the discussion at all!

[r9etb]

No need -- I was responding to your first post (actually, the first and then your "clarification").

I'm really not interested in seeing you try to squirm away from a disgusting comment.

[verity]

What disgusting comment? Do you think I was referring to the unfortunate child as "tripe"?

[r9etb]

No.

[r9etb]

I was referring to your rather presumptuous comments regarding whether God hands out more than people can handle. I'm not interested in seeing you try to talk your way out of it.

"I'm not interested in seeing you try to talk your way out of it."

Good enough! Take a hike!

Asking into the mist for things and sometimes they come true, sometimes not, is not an example of real communication.

That's true. It's also not prayer. To transfer your experience onto everyone else is childish. Frankly, my experience with prayer has not been anything like what you describe. Real prayer should be, and for many people frequently is, a very intensely personal, real, two-way exchange with their Creator. It really doesn't matter that their experience does not convince you. If the time comes that you are humble enough to truly pray, you will experience the communication for yourself.

Thank you, Syncro.

I have it bookmarked.

It looks like some day I would cease to be amazed at the power of God!
He is an awesome God!

I saw the same show about Treacher-Collins on Discovery. It was amazing how brave these kids are and how much can be done by the plastic surgeons.

What was even more incredible was the little girl who had enough plastic surgery and while she would have been in her rights to want more, was happy with who she was and how she looked.

"If the time comes that you are humble enough to truly pray, you will experience the communication for yourself."

Well said, my friend.
This is a concept that baffles so many people because it can't be proved, only felt, and only felt when we completely and totally humble ourselves at the feet of our Creator.

holy crap

[cyborg]

I agree.

I notice you've gotten beat up through this whole thread. I believe in God but if this happened to me I'd be lying to myself if I said Praise Jesus! Thank you for giving me a badly deformed child etc. etc. etc. Sometimes people can get very wrapped up in their religion or their zeal to prove how godly they are and forget we're human beings.

"She will be a blessing far greater than anyone can predict"

How true, you can sense it by the many hearwarming wishes conveyed by the public. Yes! these tragedies will occur and it is only our deep love of God that helps us to transfer that love to all human beings. One can now understand God's plan.... "Love one another as I love You"

[cyborg]

I hope you're right :(

hearwarming= heartwarming

"I am drawn to them."

So am I.

They're God's special people.

Gob bless this little angel and her parents.
