A distraction? Well, if you want to call fuller Exegesis and Hermeneutics a "distraction," then have at it. But I just call the lack of these things "ignorance."
It's a distraction, because Jesus, on multiple occasions, make similar promise to Matthew 18. And there is no reason for Jesus to limit the use of 'whatever' to mean only matters pertaining to discipline.
Matt. 21:21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
So, Jesus made some pretty direct statements on how faith and prayer is supposed to work.
So, either you and the rest of Christians have NO faith, or Jesus' promise is false (or Jesus was misquoted).
