Terri Schiavo - God Save Her
03.30.05 (8:39 am)   [edit]
Why don't any of the reknowned Faith Healers take this incredible opportunity to show the world the power and mercy of God by going to Florida and healing Terri Schiavo? Think of the many results:


  • She would be healed and restored, which is good unto itself.
  • Her healing would help heal the rift in her family.
  • It would demonstrate that God exists thus providing needed proof for an Atheist such as myself to convert to Deism.
  • It would demonstrate the power of God thus giving many of the world's religion notice to get their crap together.
  • It would showcase that these Faith Healers aren't frauds and they could claim a million dollars from The Incredible Randi.


    So why don't these Healers heal her? Don't they care? Isn't their belief in their powers strong enough to fulfill the task? Why, why, why?


    On a different course of thought, why the uproar over Terri and not someone with Lou Gehrigs Disease? Terri Schiavo is supposedly brain dead but with a responsive body. A person with Lou Gehrigs Disease faces the opposite problem - their body goes but the brain remains intact. You become jailed within your own body until your body stops breathing. Would that not be worse that what Terri is going through?


    Another thought: If Terri were black or hispanic, would the Media care about any of this?

    Jesus raised Himself up from the dead; yet, as Abraham said, "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even is someone rises from the dead." Luke 16:31 (NASB)


    Finally, in response to these, "If you don't answer, then you don't exist," tests we use... God is sovereign and He shows Himself to us on His own terms--just as we sometimes ignore the fly that buzzes around our head.

    "For He says to Moses, 'I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.' ... On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, 'Why did you make me like this,' will it? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?" Romans 9:15 and 20-21 (NASB)
    God does whatever is in His character, whether we like it or not because, well, He's God. To say God doesn't exist or isn't who He claims to be simply because He doesn't respond to our demands is foolish and unreasonable.

    But isn't it equally foolish to worship a God that rarely responds, if at all, to pleas and prayers? Isn't a random God about equal to no God?

    HE IS

    He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
    He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
    He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times.
    He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
    Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

    He was bruised and brought healing! He was pierced and eased pain!
    He was persecuted and brought freedom! He was dead and brought life!
    He is risen and brings power! He reigns and brings Peace!

    The world can't understand him, The armies can't defeat Him, the schools can't explain Him, and
    the leaders can't ignore Him.
    Herod couldn't kill Him,The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and the people couldn't hold Him!
    Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him, The New Age can't replace Him, and
    Donahue can't explain Him away!

    He is light, love, longevity, and Lord. He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.
    He is holy, righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure. His ways are right, His word is eternal,
    His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me. He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my
    guide, and He is my peace! He is my joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

    I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I
    follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, The power of the powerful.
    The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, The leader of leaders, the overseer of the over comers,
    and the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you,
    try this for size. His goal is a relationship with ME!
    He will never leave me,never forsake me, never mislead me,never forget me, Never overlook me,
    and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

    When I fall, He lifts me up! When I fail, He forgives! When I am weak, He is strong! When I am lost,
    He is the way!
    When I am afraid, He is my courage! When I stumble, He steadies me! When I am hurt, He heals
    me! When I am broken, He mends me! When I am blind, He leads me!
    When I am hungry, He feeds me! When I face trials, He is with me! When I face persecution, He
    shields me! When I face problems, He comforts me!
    When I face loss, He provides for me! When I face Death, He carries me Home! He is everything
    for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way.
    He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine! My Father in heaven can whip the father of this
    world.
    So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this... He said it and that settles it. God
    is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

    And, of course, to logically justify the validity of the Bible, the Thumpers quote more from the Bible!

    Or rely on hackneyed cliches that mean pretty much nothing...
