If God cannot answer a prayer against your will, or not answer you at all, without it turning you against him, then he was never your God. I learned that through very difficult times.

Answer: No.

Then why trash the bible when a prayer isn't answered for healing for a brother?

hurt and anger. I've been there.

I prayed for something very specific once. Something seriously crucial. The exact opposite happened.

For a long time it caused me to struggle with the ideas of God's faithfulness and the authenticity of scripture. It truly was a crisis of faith.

Then I resolved myself to the truth that if God is really my God, then I cannot accept the good and reject the "bad." While the crisis threw my faith into a struggle, ultimately it was strengthened, but not until I let go of the hurt and anger and submitted to the full will of God - even if that will seem to be my destruction.

This.

I think a lot of people feel 'let down' in these types of situations partly due to a faulty pre-conversion evangelism experience. What I mean is this: If the gospel is presented as a call to forsake your will for the will of God, then converts will come into this new life with a clear understanding that their will has been subsumed into the will of God. So there will be less chance of 'God not doing something I want and making me angry' in the future.

It's like joining the military, and in Basic discovering 'Hey, the recruiter lied to me! I didn't think it was going to be like THIS!' An honest presentation of the gospel helps people to remember 'this is what I signed up for'.

Does God have cousins?

[FlamingZword]

There are many Gods, the bible says so.

Exodus 12:12 I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt.
Exodus 15:11 Lord, who is like You among the gods?
Psalm 82:1 he judgeth among the gods.
Psalm 97:9 You are exalted above all the gods.

Since I have shown at least 4 scriptures that show there are other gods, then you must accept that there are other gods, unless you do not believe the Bible.

Since trinitarianism does not see KAI in the Greek (often translated as "AND') as meaning EVEN, perhaps they have a God the grandfather, or uncle, or ...:

Col_3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Jas_1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
