Do you even read what you say?
Same old song?...that's rather a "heartless" attitude to take and treating people as "statistics" instead of "people".

"statistics" is the truth, harsh it may be.
if "same old song" is too offensive, then what phrase should I use in english to describe the same thing that keeps repeating over and over and over again? I'm not a native english speaker, but in my language, it's not really that offensive.

there are thing that we must do before HE grants our request. you may not know, or you already know, but you refuse to, like the cancer patient refused to forgive her mother for almost a decade until finally she surrenders and forgave her mother.

"After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before."

as I said, what one must do WILL differ because everybody has their own life, circumstances, wrong choices, right choices, weaknesses, strengths, etc. that's why the HELPER, the HOLY SPIRIT will help you to remind you of what you may have forgotten or need to do. this is NOT cruel.

People cant make God do anything? Hezekiah would beg to differ. he CHANGED GOD's death verdict, and had a son, although the son turned out to be evil...

raise your sister from the dead? of course HE can. HE did that to lazarus, although HE intentionally waited for several days before actually doing that.

have you read the BIBLE? read it, again, and again, and again, and again, until the day you stop breathing. only then can you gain understanding on GOD's character and behavior.
you;re asking about some manual of this "cosmic slot machine" right? well, guess what, you ALREADY have it, the BIBLE. GOD even sends the HELPER, HOLY SPIRIT to help you understand said manual..

And here I thought bologna was gone,such drivel,You don't have to do "anything" for God to answer "any" prayer request,God doesn't turn a deaf ear when he hears pleads,seems you think that God has to see faith and action before he seeks to help us,as in that he isn't our heavenly father,have you not read?..."before we loved him he loved us",though some may not accept him wholly at first,or not at all,he helps by "answering prayers"before" we even believe upon him,for who doesn't cry out to God?
prayers aren't all just kneeling,or bowing type actions,some prayers are unsaid but asked for from our heart.

okay then, then you dont do anything, while I'll keep trying consulting with the HELPER and do what must be done. it's been working fine for me, and tons of other people, both in the BIBLE and in real world.
have you read the BIBLE? from genesis to revelation? if you have, it would change your mind.
many people say GOD is like this, GOD is like that, but they havent even finished reading the BIBLE even once, while others have read the BIBLE mor than ten times, 50 times, a hundred times, and still learning something new each time about GOD

to GOD, no, but to other humans that's definitely NOT GOD,... yes.
you can poll christians how many prefers virgins over those who had committed sexual relationship....I guess you can already guess.
I'm a volunteer counselor, I know what I'm talking about, not making this stuff up.
as I said before, many guys broke up with their girlfriend once they know that she's not a virgin anymore. some even about to get married, but once know about this, cancelled the marriage.

I'm sure you aren't because you sound as if you "just know" what someone will do,psychiatrists think that way.

This is how new people get scared away from this forum.

Worse, I'm starting to think it's GOOD that new people get scared away.

Thanks a lot all you debaters for being so hot to argue that you turn every new thread into a BDF thread. It's really inviting and heartwarming for new people to start a thread and get it trashed in the first page.

Just recently went through a breakup. Still don't want to give up on love!

What would it take for God to give me the desires of my heart?
one word.
one snap of his fingers.
one breathe from his mouth.

The Lord is faithful!
For those who are also having a heartbreak of whatever kind. The Lord is bigger than all of our troubles.
He is ABLE, He is anxious to do it!
we just need to hold on and don't let go.

I hope you are still here jelly belly and will try posting again,this thread hasn't had much in the way of encouragement or advice,but I hope this sort of thing hasn't discouraged you,God can do all things and has many blessings waiting for you just Trust God/Jesus and put him first in life.

I think this could be a great idea for a thread. And you are right He is ABLE. I always seek comfort in that myself.

I wish CC could be more like this. Giving a small prayer or verse for encouragement. That is what a broken hearted need. That is what we all need from time to time, even the most content of us.

How would it be to go through a rough time without faith in Jesus? Now it is unimaginable.

Thank you for a great thread, jellybelly. I hope you will keep on posting such beautiful posts.

I gave advice, but not only for OP, but for everybody that hasnt experienced this kind of problem, so that they wont experience it.
what I gave is based on the BIBLE and what I've seen in real world experienced by real people, but yeah, sometimes, people just dont like what the BIBLE has to say and say that it's ridiculous and would "ruin" things....
many people dont even try to read the BIBLE from beginning to end, and still they always come up with how GOD "should be like this, should be like that" based on their wants and needs...
well, I guess that's the unique power of the BIBLE, it will automatically repel those who only listens to oneself, but refuse the guidance of the LORD.
time is running out, and what people worry more is "hurt feelings, too offensive, etc", instead of "wow, I already have the best manual to know GOD better" and quickly start reading your BIBLE and stop trying to create an illusion of how GOD should be based on one's desires.

Naw, not unless you want people to question your gender. Bro needs to understand female psychology. I don’t care how bad a woman’s self esteem is, there ain’t NO way a chick would make a user name being negative about her body. Especially not her stomach.

Lol, spend a few months at sea, and discover ladies most people wouldn't believe existed.

You really want to be "one of the guys" out there...
