Countless Claims to "Answered" Prayer(s)

[POI]

We have countless claims, from Christians, to God/Jesus answering prayers for healing to human affliction(s). And by 'answered' prayer, I mean God/Jesus states -- (yes, I will grant you this prayer request to remove the human affliction).

For Debate:

1. Does God "answer" any of these prayer requests? If not, why?
2. If so, why does God/Jesus perpetually skip the following afflictions (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, dementia, diabetes mellites 1, amputation, muscular dystrophy, hunington's disease, epilepsy, parkinson's disease, paget's disease, motor neuron disease, and so on)?

I don't know what God has really skipped and I don't believe you really know it,

I do know it. God skips prayer requests involving myotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, dementia, diabetes mellites 1, amputation, muscular dystrophy, hunington's disease, epilepsy, parkinson's disease, paget's disease, motor neuron disease, and so on. Coincidence?

How do you know who has prayed Bible God and what they prayed?

...clear demonstrations that prayer does not work....

By what I see, prayer works exactly as told in the Bible. If you don't see the answers you want to see, it does not necessary mean prayer doesn't work.

Prayer doesn't work, because prayer has been shown to be ineffective.
Prayer only seems to work when a person believes that prayer works, because they place faith in the claim that prayer works. Faith is required for a person to believe that prayer works and that Allah is the one true God.

Is this a real response? I mean, seriously 1213. I'll tell you why I know:

1). My uncle has cerebral palsy and my family, who is religious, has prayed for him countless times. But he still has CP.
2). I work in the medical field and have watched family pray for their loved ones with myotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, dementia, diabetes mellites 1, amputation, muscular dystrophy, hunington's disease, epilepsy, parkinson's disease, paget's disease, motor neuron disease, and so on. And yet, their conditions remain.
3). My best friend's daughter has diabetes 1. Countless people have prayed for her, but she still has diabetes 1 20 years later.
4). I have had an amputation since 2007, due to a necessary passed surgical intervention. My family, and the church my family attends, has prayed for the return of this limb and the limb is still missing.
5). The conditions listed in point 2) above are deemed incurable. God looks to skip conditions which are deemed incurable.
6). In the past, I have asked people in this forum, and others, to pray for the removal of my family and friend's afflictions, and yet they still remain.

Your response is complete nonsense. Of the countless prayer requests submitted, it is quite logical for you to already know that many prayer requests have included the conditions I listed in the OP. So we have to ask ourselves.... Does God consciously skip these afflictions, or maybe, just maybe, there is no such God?

Thanks for the information. I think it is crucial what is prayed. For example, if person prays trinity and not Bible God, why would anyone expect Bible God to answer?

But, the truth is, I don't know enough to tell why things don't go as you expect they should go. Still, I believe things go exactly as told in the Bible, even if you don't get always what you want.

Sorry, I think it works exactly as told in the Bible. But, I have no problem, if you don't believe it.

Your last point makes me think, does also modern medicine work only, if person has enough faith in it? Placebo studies indicates that faith seems to be the main cure, which in a way fits well to what is said in the Bible.

By what I see, prayer works exactly as told in the Bible. If you don't see the answers you want to see, it does not necessary mean prayer doesn't work.

The guarantee of answered prayer 'whatever you ask in Faith', (even given not granting stuff like removing a mountain into the sea because there is a vinery farm on it) is clearly not answered. The healings that are supposed to happen do not and turn into ludicrous carny shows. Pal - and I love your persistence - if I was Jesusgod I could make it utterly clear that Christians praying for stuff (that didn't cause harm) Got it and there would be no debate which religion was true.

What we get are coincidences and funny feelings presented as proof of God. It isn't. Dismissing 'not seeing the answers' that one might have a right to expect given the NT guarantee, the smart -money hypothesis isthat 'prayer does not work'. Faithbased denial doesn't alter that and (as said times before) it is not about your faithbased dismissal of arguments you do not like, but about the case presented to the casual browser. So often the Believer seems to think that if they deny everything and refuse to be persuaded, they have won. No, that isn't how it works.

The answer to this question is no.

Insulin, Narcan, Benadryl, Epinephrine, Propofol, all antibiotics, all antifungals, all antiretrovirals, Heparin, all statins, and others, work regardless of also having faith in them or not.

Pray however you wish, God ain't answering 'yes' to requests to remove myotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, dementia, diabetes mellites 1, amputation, muscular dystrophy, hunington's disease, epilepsy, parkinson's disease, paget's disease, motor neuron disease, and so on. Coincidence?

But, the truth is, I don't know enough to tell why things don't go as you expect they should go.

Oh, I do. I know enough to conclude there is no such prayer answering God. It's actually quite simple. Don't convolute things any more than they need to be.
