Prayer?

[Skepsis]

Not necessarily, God may use the situation to help a family in some way, or to help some individual unrelated to the family, to see how precious life is, or any number of things that life throws at us.

Do you think there is a person on this vast planet that not only has little grasp on the sanctity of life but would not understand unless a next of kin dies? That's pathetic. Your God is a retard or a monster.

I believe I qualified a specific time, and god needs no pass, He is in control of everything. After the result of the illness has passed many will look back on the experience and see God's reason, at least those who will see or cares to see God's revelation to them.

God is in control of everything but can't save a single child from their fate? And he is a good being?
At the end of this bit you say those who care to see God's revelation will see it. So, only the biased ignorant sheep will see a hideous monster who allowed their child to die as a rainbow endowed lollipop distributor. Convenient.

If God doesn't heal, you have contempt for Him, and when God heals, you still have contempt for Him. You are a ungrateful person to the 3rd magnitude. When people ask God to heal a person and that's all they ask, that in itself shows how shallow their belief is, if they have any at all.

Quite a demanding creature, isn't he?
"I love everyone," he says, "except those who beg me to take an action that wouldn't inconvenience me in the slightest and would save a likely innocent person from sure death."
Sickening, really.

Why should God explain something to those who will not listen, but for those who will listen great things can happen, take Nineveh for example.

Do you believe in a literal hell? If so, that's why.

Being a deacon in the Baptist church I've seen this happen many times, being a former youth leader in a Baptist church I've seen this many times, you need to spend sincere time with God before you can experience Him at this level, something I'm 100% positive you have not been capable of. Appear to them I do not think so, talk to them in His way definitely, like I said I've seen it.

See that bold text? That ought to translate to, "You have to spend serious time confirming your silly beliefs to have such a high level of confirmation bias."

God says He will not answer all prayer, God also says He will not listen to some prayers. I know for a fact He answers prayer, I've experienced it to many times for it to be remotely considered a coincidence, one example, prayers having specific properties within them.

Prayers don't work and it's only your severe confirmation bias that allows you to believe that they do. How many thousands of times did you pray before you got an answer? I'm not talking about little things, like "help me find the strength" or "allow my actions to yield great results". I'm talking about something big, like praying for a relative's success in the face of extreme odds or for the survival of someone whose chances are near 0%.
