  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello.

I think prayer is confirmation bias and auto-suggestion… Nevertheless, please pray for my health. I’m very sick. Healthcare unable to help me nowadays. No cure. Maybe miracle? Haha

Thank you

Certainly I will pray for you! I did not understand your analysis of 'prayer'. Did I mis-understand you? It seemed to be saying it is ALL in 'auto suggestion' ---not what I see in the Bible New Testament Gospels, which speaks of a personal 'RELATIONSHIP' with God through Jesus, the Christ (note John 3; John 14; etc.). That will bring the blessings of our Creator-God; and keep a "born again" saint (John 3:16) in God's care all the way to Heaven.

Why are you asking for prayer, if it is just 'auto-suggestion', as you say? First, one needs to see and appreciate our Creator-God's "...so great salvation" in His "...beloved Son": the Lord Jesus, as John 3:16; John 14; Romans 8 makes clear. Have you ever read the four Gospel books in the New Testament of the Bible? Do you want to know Him?

If you don't come to the Lord Jesus in earnest prayer (as John 14:6 tells us), you will never have God's blessing or a place in Heaven when you die. If you would like help in understanding the Holy Bible, I would be pleased to share what God has for earnest seekers. Write me at the Conversation page herein on CF, friend.
