Speculative? In what way was it speculative, or you are just stating another biased opinion.nice speculative answers to the questions above
yes prayers with no work is futile. and doing something on top of praying is even better.
but even with prayers and "doing something" you still cant guarantee that the person will live. although this is not in the context of the discussion, i find it important to note that our lives is not in our hands. it is not for us to decide when a person will die. bsan unsaon pa nimo pag ampo nga di mamatay ang usa ka taw, if time na gyud niya, mamatay jud sya. same lng pud ug bsan unsa kadaghan nga tambal imong ihatag, bsan unsa nga medical procedures, if time na gyud niya, time na gyud niya.
i think we also need to know how to pray. it is not only about repetitive prayers and miracles. if some one is in his death bed, instead of praying for a miracle that the person will live...it is better to pray for a peaceful passing. pray for strength so that you will not feel so alone in ur loss. pray for his soul, so that he will be peaceful as he prepares to meet Jesus. prayer is also about acceptance of the things we cant control, like death. it is about surrender and finding serenity within us. it helps cope with events that are so overwhelming that we feel like its the worst thing that could ever happen to us.
thing is, faith is very subjective. you cant put it in a box and try to analyze it. its either you have it or dont have it. its useless trying to dissect it if you dont believe it in the first place.
@tarpolano
your theology is somewhat absurd..shame on you.
put into context what happened in wisconsin death trip...what the frell can we learn from such incident.
well in this context, the lives LOST was in their hands. praying hands.
@swordslave
do you consider prayer as an INACTION? by itself?prayer did not kill the girl, it was the family's inaction that killed her...
we are supposed to pray for HELP (yes help, not perfect solutions) while at the same time doing everything we can
somebody once said:
"one helping hand is better compared to a thousands clamped in prayer"
hoyst! ayaw mo paglalis anang prayer oi! balewala manang prayer, ang intention/focus/will man ang importante... panglatuson tamo ron!
cge lang e-pray lang tamo nga maadto mo sa ABOVE nga place nga gitawag sa mga ancient people nga langit![]()
You will call it such, because you do not believe in it in the first place, the same way with the monks just sitting all day.do you consider prayer as an INACTION?
prayer moves mountains... ingon sila.. and i believe it... maybe not know but for the tym to come....
so regarding if it kills... it will not..
