I'll try to address this. Briefly.
Firstly, to you and to Holly, what zone said, I think, was in defense and out of love for a friend (me ♥).
And she did say, "for this one quick moment". Ever felt that way because you believed a friend whom you love was being attacked? My guess is you both could say, "yes".
Secondly, to compare people who believe the lies of the prosperity 'gospel' to Abraham is patently ridiculous.
Abraham had God's Promise that through his son Isaac the Messiah would come, and Abraham believed that Promise.
He knew that God would be faithful to that specific Promise, no matter what. He knew that if it were to be necessary, God would raise Isaac from the dead in order to fulfill that Promise.
Lastly, no. I certainly did NOT mock this family member, whose sister had died as she did.
mock: (v.) 1) treat with contempt
...............2) imitate with scorn and derision
synonyms: laugh at; make fun; ridicule; spoof
I am not sure how you reconcile the last line of your first post (which I assume is from Joyce Meyers?) with what you said in your second post, though.
Of course God still heals! Just not on command.
That's all I have to say on this matter.
Over and out.
You can go back to your original post if you want, psychomommy, but you said that your friend was believing that God would heal her friend of cancer and he did not. I just said, I hope you did not mock her for her belief, you put a
so what's one to think. It's your doctrinal opinion of God not having spoken to her which I simply disagree with.
As for Abraham, I was not speaking to the promise of God's for Messiah's coming through Isaac, although that is a good point to bring up, milady
This example of Abraham is one of 'faith,' understanding God's plan from beginning to end of a given situation, as Scripture says, God will never leave us or forsake us, even though it might seem He does when things get REALLY bad in our life.
But, He is there
This again simply speaks of someone (me) who believes that God did, indeed, comfort your friend who had a friend die of cancer. I believe the same as your friend, el, and, it is simple: God speaks to us before, during, after circumstances in our life that are hard to go through, like a family member loved one dying.

machined, I am not villifying you, I simply have to speak because you spoke in the first place, called me 'meangreen.' I do NOT ever, that I know of, disparage someone with their nic I give them, as I said, IF you feel that it's disparaging you, let me know, you will know--quickly--that I will not call you that name anymore.
Machined, thanks for the apology, the Lord leads, it is good we apologize to Him when we know we've wronged someone. I did my accentuation of this 'mean green' situation because it will have you feeling better, in the end, and, more respected on c.c. too, finely bore fellow, plus, it's just not something that needs done when you are disagreeing with someone's doctrine, to ATTACK that person's person; this is a lesson for ALL of us, we are not to do things that hurt others' person because they simply don't think the same way as you regarding God's work done in a woman, in this case, Joyce Meyers, who is now no longer revelation to you, and, I believe the Holy Spirit brings complete understanding to her in her ministry DESPITE, yes, she's made mistakes in the PAST and, even so, now, as you said, machined, I don't want to answer your questions, as I said, they are divisive and not going to be solved by our human understanding of a spiritual matter that God must reveal to you in your heart . And, good news, He will, always, reveal His truth to you, He is ONLY who will reveal His truth to you, and, He can quite easily, He LIVES in you
p.s. : I had a pair of blue Levis that I dyed green in high school, wore them many times after that, they were a ripe, pea green color, and, they were with me for many, many years , so, calling me 'green jeans' certainly works for me, bro

I just want to get this correct. GreenNnice it is ok for you to call whomever by whatever clever quip you come up with on their name, and they are to never take offense but if you take offense to someone doing the same it must be said in an offensive way by the other person? I told you why I wrote what I wrote take it or leave it. I can't control the way you take it any more than I can control you spewing and cheering the heresy that you choose. You cannot speak of my intent any more than you can speak of Joyce Meyers intent.
You are really trying hard to vilify me, yet you have chosen no real response to any of my posts.
Man up! You have made claim that the Lord is leading you in this argument for Joyce Meyer, yet you don't seem to be doing a great job of it. You just quote her website and post how everyone is to focused on 20 years ago when I gave you more than enough "mistakes" that she has posted on her website today and is SELLING to her "millions of believers".
So stop avoiding the real topic because you think I am a big meany or whatever. I've apologized if I offended you as that was not my intent, I don't need you to express your forgiveness to me every post to everyone you disagree with on this topic, but I would like you to address the real questions being asked of you like an adult, with out mocking or guilt play.
Have a good day GreenNnice.

LOL, anariel, that is one good drink I can tell, by the way, I made a mean-green kale soup in the Vitamix a couple months ago, veggie lovers delight, it was smoooth tasting, like budduh
