The guys is alive isn't he? Looks to me like he did the right thing and he is the scapegoat.

Re: Be careful where you pray at
 

Context is everything.

Did you STOP FLYING THE PLANE in order to pray? Or did he pray WHILE still flying and fighting with it.

If he physically stopped flying in order to pray, then I would say he got off EASY with only a 10 year sentence. If not, then I don't see the problem.

But, isn't prayer the most powerful thing in the universe?

Might be mistaken, but it seems I've heard that somewhere. ;)

Re: Be careful where you pray at
 

Must have been mistaken.

(In other words, BUMP! :lol)

Timmy, you are a trip.:)
I say pray with your eyes open and your hands on the wheel. There is no prerequisite position that one has to assume in order to be officially praying.

A comment! :woot :clap :yahoo :yourock

Heyyyy, wait a minute. You didn't answer my question!

Re: Be careful where you pray at
 

If the question is "will every prayer be answered 'yes'"...then I say no. I don't believe that prayer will change what is "appointed" to happen. However, I do believe that it can change anything else. I can honestly say that I have been in situations where prayer saved and changed my life. Will prayer save my life when it is the appointed time for me to die? I don't believe so.

Re: Be careful where you pray at
 

That wasn't the exact question. Too far back to see without binoculars? ;) Luckily, I still remember it:

"But, isn't prayer the most powerful thing in the universe?"

But you bring up a good point. Are there things that are appointed to happen, and no amount of prayer will change it? Are there other things that will play out in one of several ways depending on what prayers, if any, are offered up? This would imply that God insists on some things happening, and doesn't care so much about others: could go either way. He's ready and willing to heal Jane Doe, if someone prays for her (and, er, not against her!). No prayer, no healing. Joe Bloe may not be so lucky: no amount of prayer will change God's mind. Interesting.

Applying this to the plane crash, I suppose it was destined, prayer or not, steering or not. So, who can blame the poor pilot?

But I guess you indirectly answered my question. It seems that prayer isn't always powerful. In fact, sometimes it's utterly futile. Anybody else want to weigh in? ;)

Timmy, I don't agree with you about much theologically, but I love your posts anyway! You're a hoot. Your posts usually always crack me up.
