Did you ever think to back up your arguments with what we have of the OT and NT?

And those who did comparative studies that have no prejudices but are seekers of truth what they have discovered or found.

Many shy away from praying over a verse if it is the way the Lord gave it.

So to many it is blind trust, because many become unsure about the Holy Ghost and like to quote

1 Jn. 4: 1
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Again to many in reality many are not sure who is who so they just quote the verse and swear that the Bible is inerrant and infallible and leave it at that.

For many exercising faith is beyond ones corporal world courage.

I trust the Lord when I pray to Him as I been taught to address Him that another spirit will not be able to super impose.
I believe in the power of the Lord and trust what He says when giving His Children instructions.

1. Matt. 21:
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

1. John 16:

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

James 4: 3
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

2. 1 Jn. 3: 22
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight
