Prayers That Are Answered?

[goodlife]

Since praying takes many forms, will just any prayer be effective? Some feel that as long as the person praying is sincere and “believes,” it does not matter greatly which form of prayer is used. What do you think? In view of the divergence of opinion on this matter, it is necessary to go beyond the opinions of men and look for revealed information from a higher source.

Goodlife, if you read the posts instead of the Watch Tower you might have a chance of understanding what other people are saying.

Khandro, I know I guessed that you couldn’t answer the question - I can't see your confession though.

[Khandro]

naomi; To recap; beso said the bible was written by God, which I refuted, you then said "what do you understand the bible to be? 11:31 Wed.//
I've said now twice that I don't 'understand' it and likened it to several things to be experienced in a non-cerebral way - its not like a cook-book.
Now you and beso seem to have an understanding not only of the bible but of a Beethoven symphony. Please enlighten me.

[naomi24]

No Khandro, you didn't refute anything. You said to beso //do YOU understand what the bible is ? //

.... and I asked you a similar question - but we've now discovered that you don't so there's little point in pursuing this conversation.

[Khandro]

and having clarified my position, I asked you. So ?

[naomi24]

Khandro, my understanding of the bible is very well documented. It doesn’t need repeating. I haven’t mentioned a Beethoven symphony and as far as I can see, neither has beso.

[Khandro]

beso, my profoundest apologies, I have taken your name in vain, it was Ludwig 12:00 yesterday.
naomi; I don't think beso is even on this thread, I beg his pardon though. However, as you understand the bible, and though you have stated so "many times", which I have missed it seems, perhaps I could persuade you to explain your understanding (not a dictionary definition please) just once more.

[Khandro]

I have trouble switching from page to page without loosing my text so I have to rely on memory; for 'many times' read 'well documented'.

[naomi24]

Khandro, beso contributed to this thread at 10:26 Wed 16th Jul 2014. You said this to him:

//and do YOU understand what the bible is ?//

…. which was where all this hullaballoo started.

No, you can’t persuade me to explain my understanding of the bible. As I said, my opinions are well-documented – and, as you are well aware they do not amount to dictionary definitions.

[Khandro]

Are we being a little coy, and somewhat enigmatic here? :0)

[naomi24]

No, not at all. There's a currently fashionable idiom that covers moments like this .... now what is it? Oh, yes, I know. I can't be arsed. :o)
