In reply to If praying works, I need a favour..., posted by Mr Cushing on December 3, 2002, at 18:42:51
Mr. Cushing,
Your subject line says,[if prayer works, I need a favour]. Now others have responded to your post by offering their prayers. I am responding by sharing with you what has been revealed to me by the Rider, who is the Word of God in my experiance, about prayer.
It has been revealed to me that prayer is [real] and that God has clarified to me what to follow that enables anyone to pray to Him.
I will now explain what God has revealed to me about prayer, but with the understanding that the God that has revealed these things to me is the God of others, not just me, and that I recognise that others have a different God than mine and I respect other faiths and I am only accepting the invitation here to share [my] faith experiance here and I am in no way saying that others that have other God(s) have to accept the God that has revealed Himself to me. My experiance is what I experianced, and if my God reveals something to me, that does NOT mean that what is revealed to me must apply to all others anymore than what other faiths reveal to other posters here means that their faith is the only one. I understand that others pray by different concepts and I respect other faiths.
There is a poster here now that writes about the the Latter Day Saints group founded by Joeseph Smith and later by Bringham Young. I recognise that that poster is [not] saying that the Mormon Church is the "only way" when he/she posts Mormon doctrine. And I am in no way saying that what I post is the only way, but I am responding to the clarification that Dr. Bob gave to he board when someone asked why I was allowed to post here. Dr. Bob's answer was that I could share what worked for me because it would thearfore have the potential to work for others. I am not objecting to Mormons or Catholics or Ploytheists, or Protestant people, or Zen people or Budahhist or Hindu or Islamic people or anyone else postng their faith experiance here.
