Why do Christians pray to their god?

[Sassy]

... and that's the negative proof fallacy. Don't let Hope know you're using it, he'll be livid.

Ignorance... if there was ever a definition for the dictionary then you and your writings above are the perfect example.

Try reading the post and stop making yourself look a complete pratt.

The King is in the altogether... and you really are as naked as the day that you were born.
May Almighty God, make everyone remember what you have written in this thread to your downfall in the eyes of the educated.
Both those in flesh who get the message Christ told and those in Spirit who see how you have no knowledge of the teachings of Christ. May it be around as long as you post and may all who seek posts by you on the internet find what you wrote here.
In Jesus Name. AMEN.

Now everyone knows Shaker relies on what he reads elsewhere. He has no knowledge of his own. Hence the reason he repeats himself so often. No Shaker you don't and didn't have an argument. Now everyone knows you are the proverbial Ostrich in that you think if you cannot see the truth about yourself, no one else can.

You have just lost all respect. Because no matter what you do and no matter what others think.
If they support you in what you wrote without knowing and reading clearly or inspite of reading clearly. Then like you they become known as having no knowledge of the bible and teachings of Christ. Just repeating what they have heard or read elsewhere. And what they have heard or read in this matter is false. A foolish answer like your own shows you completely naked.

... a word which has just the one T, by the way

When you can even spell and write comprehensible English, come back to us and we'll work on your reasoning abilities. That's to say, trying to instil some.

You being accustomed to the use of the word prat.

The rarely-used word "prat" means "the buttocks". Used to mean "a fool or idiot", it should be spelled with one T, although some dictionaries list two T's as an alternate spelling (the spelling used for the proper name Pratt).

I missed a 'T' but as you can see some dictionaries spell it with two. However your clueless and ignorance will never outweigh anything to do with spelling and gramma. The reason being what I write is clearly out of your ability and understanding.
Given the evidence of the thread. And so whilst my missing a T does not show any lack in my knowledge of using the word Prat/tt your writings clearly show a lack of education and knowledge as well as comprehension of God, Christ and the bible teachings from then.

I would say given the evidence I am in the better position. All you can do is insult... I have produced, shown and proved the evidence against you.

[Shaker]

You being accustomed to the use of the word prat.

Use as in being able to correctly identify them, yes, and also in being able to spell.

I missed a 'T' but as you can see some dictionaries spell it with two.

Including that well-known example of lexicographical rigour, Urban Dictionary

However your clueless

BLAH BLAH BLAH... not fooling anyone... You still cannot change the subject or the fact you are trying to cover your tracks from your blunder...

The above is the usual clueless and mindless attacks we have become use to.

How does it feel everyone knowing you do not understand Christ or Christianity?
That everything you repeat over and over again is what you read or heard somewhere else.

If anything your words are water rolling off a ducks back. I have always said when Atheists don't have an answer they result to insult. And even move goal posts and try to change the subject.. You got a T missing in pratt/t depending on which version you want to use. I have a thread which your replies show you know nothing about Christianity, Christ or even true believers.

I am on the better end... believe me...

[Sassy]

Just when you think there can't be any more scope for ironic nonsense - there is!

Well Gordon go read the posts and defend him from the original posts we are discussing.

Here we are tell us what he should have understood from the post below.

You are following the one in the wrong. Your credibility is going down slowy.

I am sure you know that NOT all come to fruition in their faith. The seed and the sower.
Unless you can actually disprove what Christ said then you are really making it up as you go along...
So many atheists claimed to have believe but they never came to fruition and they fell away.... So we see the inaccuracy in what you yourself belief. How you cannot even fathom the truth of Christ's teachings and why those fallen away never knew God or Jesus Christ.
My post clearly points out how people believing in Christ and doing all those miracles actually never knew him.
Desperation instead of doing what people who really want understanding would do. Anyone actually interested in the truth Christ taught and about Christianity, would have considered what was said by Christ and written in Matthew 7.
It is clear that Christ gives two commandments. In obeying Christ we see God and Christ reveal themselves to the believer.

God promises something far bigger than a person merely believing. He offers the individual something far greater than just being able to perform miracles by gifts and power. He offers them to know both the Son and the Father who is God.
A personal relationship. For most they never get that far. Even believers doing all the miracles and preaching will not all know Christ. So no fallacy... a fact that not all who preach Christ will actually know him.

[Sassy]

For Gordon...

By no means, not necessarily. You're conflating 'knowing about' with 'believing in' - two different things entirely. There are innumerable people who know vastly more about Christianity than you ever have or will (not a major feat, admittedly) who don't believe a word of it.

You see how ignorant that comment is...
All atheists will know less about Christianity than any Christian. But the truth is that not all Christians understand what Christ was teaching...

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Being born of Spirit and Truth is about living as Christ did and in the two commandments. Love God and love your neighbour as yourself. Peoples lives are changed by the power of Gods Spirit within them. It is not something they can do for themselves.

How very worldly your thinking and far away from the truth about God and the teachings of Christ.
You will never be in a spiritual position to understand the truth Christ taught till you can take the steps required to find the truth for yourself.

Sass, I alway thought prat (the perjorative term), was spelt with one 't' too, so you are not alone but you are a CYM to use the word so cheekily! 

[Sassy]

Truth is that Shaker should stop replying and answering things he knows NOTHING about.

[Gordon]

That everything you repeat over and over again is what you read or heard somewhere else.

Says the one who quotes the KJV ad nauseam.

[Rhiannon]

I'll never understand Christian tribalism.

[Sassy]

The point is Shaker made a blunder when replying to a post.
He showed he has no understanding or knowledge of subject concerning the teachings of Christ.
The 'T' was the only thing he could come up with by way of reply.
He could not actually defend himself on the matter at hand.

I think like many things only fools would defend him at this point and doing so without actually reading what has been written.
If they read the thread they will see the blunder he made. Had he any sense he would admit he blundered and if it was because he did not know or did not read the posts.

Have a good day B,...

Spite... no wonder you lost your faith if you think truth is spite.
Practice what you preach... after all you know Shaker is in the wrong and started the nasty insults. Double standards is something God hates.

King James Bible
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isn't that what you have done... put the false/evil for Good/Christ.
You swopped faith in the true God and his Son for something you know to be false?
And now you support what is false in place of the truth... even worse calling truth, evil. And making evil out to be good.

There is no spite there is just your lost sense of direction and you swopping the truth for a lie.
Do you not see your own reflections on the things you are allowing into your life.

No spite... no evil reasons or purpose for what I have said... just the truth.

[Brownie]

Sass and truth! That is an oxymoron!

[Shaker]

Certainly some kind of moron.

Sassy,

You also think the Moon has no gravity.

That is NOT true, so you believe things that are not true.

Did you find Jesus and/or God, before or after you read the bible?

[Leonard James]

Did you find Jesus and/or God, before or after you read the bible?

 

Yes, "God" got in touch with her before she could read and set the ball rolling! 

[Brownie]

I had a sense of God before reading the Bible, when I was a small child.  I wouldn't have identified it as such, didn't have the words, but I felt there was a benign but unseen presence taking care of me.  You may think I invented that or that my immature psyche created it to fulfill a need.  I really don't know but I certainly felt it.  Very good it was too.  I used to draw pictures and if I drew myself, I was always surrounded but not obscured by fluffy clouds, gentle sunshine, attractive surroundings (I was a good draw-er for my age).

As I got older it went and I felt cold and isolated.  Something else took the place of what I now call ''God'' but it wasn't always effective and was less comfortable.  I still have that but occasionally I recapture the wonderful feeling of being nurtured that I had when I was small.

So you have my musings and please don't suggest medication or call the shrink.  I don't believe there is anything unusual about what I have described but people often don't remember or perhaps it didn't last so long for them.
