    More proof that prayer does not work whatsoever.

    You bring up a good point. It begs to ask should childbearing be a right? We have to have licenses for everything. Except the thing that requires the most responsibility. If the majority of people are not responsible enough to handle their automobiles, how can they be responsible enough to have a child?

    If you have to get a license to get married you should definitely have to have one to have a child.

      That is not proof that prayer does not work. It is proof that, for whatver reason, the answer was no. She is not suffering now, she is, if her parents are corect, in a better place. We are not privvy to God's plans, we do not know why or when he intercedes in answer to our prayers, and we do not know why the answer is sometimes no, even when it's something we think should be an easy yes.

      But, I think these parents were wrong. Faith should make you grateful that the Lord has provided resources capable of preserving life, not make you refuse them. Very sad that these people did not trust God to provide doctors and treatment to save her.

        Well said Nixie. How does the old saying go? "God will not help a man who will not act"?

          like the story-There was once a man trapped on his roof by rising flood waters.After a while,someone came floating by on a raft and said,"Come, and I will take you to safety." The man replied,"No, thank you. I have prayed to God, and He will save me." Later, after the water had risen higher, someone came by in a boat and said, "Come into my boat, and I will take you to a safe place before the water overtakes you." Again the man replied, "No, for I have prayed earnestly to God. He will surely save me." Finally, with the water having risen up to the man's neck, someone in a helicopter came by and said, "Hurry, and come aboard lest you drown!" And again, the man refused saying, "I have no need of your help. I have great faith that God will save me." Soon the man drowned. cont-

            cont-When he stood before God he said, "Lord, I prayed earnestly with great faith for you to save me, but you did not. Why?" To which God replied, "I sent you a raft, a boat, and a helicopter. What more did you want?"
