But ultimately, I didn't have to experience that, you did, so what I would do is meh. Did the above occur to you? What if you had been eating hotdogs (instead of praying)? Would you have concluded that the hotdogs performed this miracle?
Would you be eating hotdogs with your mother dying in the other room? I guess so.... because that would be the last thing on my mind.
I'll try [not] praying the next time a family member is dying! And report back that indeed they died. Then maybe that should prove for ya there is a God?
Luke 16:27-31 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Quis ut Deus?
