Are all things possible with God?

Pray I am wrong? Nope. Can't jive with that. Praying for correction is all I believe we need, which is what the Lord tells us to pray when He gave this instruction, "lead us not into temptation, but deliver me from evil."

Praying for us to be wrong? Think about it. We get our belief from the Word and yet we pray we are wrong in what we sincerely see the word telling us? That is like snubbing God's word. I know we may have interpreted it incorrectly. But to pray we are wrong is just wrong.

I believe that Frog doesn't see the Bible as relevant to his view, while it may contain "some" truths it may not be 100% correct or accurate, and therefore holds no bearing on us hoping we are wrong or right, because after all as jfrog sees it, we can't possibly base truth on a religious book.

He is already convinced concerning his philosophy, but believes that we need to pray for a burning in the bosom so we can get the same understanding as he. He started the thread with a loaded question to entrap who ever answered in the affirmative, and planned on twisting up who ever got entangled in discussing philosophy instead of truth. I personally believe that jfrog has been licking far too much hypnotoad.

Okay so it's wrong because it's something like snubbing God's word.

Interesting take. Just curious why can't praying or hoping you are wrong be viewed as snubbing human reason and understanding as opposed to snubbing God's word itself?

Good grief.
