[Matthew 21:22 KJV] "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." ******** If you think this is for us in the church, the body of Christ, you will be disillusioned. Jesus gave this promise to the church in Jerusalem, not to us.
DO WE GET WHATEVER WE ASK?

Thinking this verse is meant for us can cause it

Then they were not following the Lord because they Love Him they followed to see what they could get from Him kinda like judas ey?
I see
So if someone thinks a loved one can be healed and they arent it's because it's their fault because they werent following the Lord as they should

It is written
I Will Have Mercy On Whom I Will Have Mercy..
Idk what you are talking about
Just because i don't get what i want from someone dont mean I would abandon them . You do understand you can not bargain with the Lord...?
Are you saying if one dont get what they want they should fall off from following the Lord?
You think when one dont get what they want from the Lord its because He dont what ?Love them?
I have heard that as coming from atheists, true or not, thats what I heard

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom
I don't think that you understand the scripture very well. You're taking the scripture very literally. And you're forgetting about the Holy Spirit. You're forgetting about the spirit of the scripture the thing that Jesus complains to the Pharisees about.
You can read the letter of the law but if you do not understand the spirit of the law then you don't understand anything.
The letter of the law seems to be everything of that time period. But the spirit of the law and the spirit in which the scripture is written tells us that it is for all of us and not just those of that era
In saying I take scripture literally realy means we can make it say something it doesnt
I let scripture say what it says
