Everyone should read this account of the healing of 11 year old Kayla Knight. A brain tumor that involved about one-fourth of her brain disappeared in answer to prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

Believers will be excited about it.

Unbelievers will find their unbelief challenged.

Google KLTV (channel 7, Longview/Jacksonville/Tyler, Texas) Then type in "Kayla Knight" and find the article "Power of prayer" Actually, I Googled simply "Kayla Knight" and found the article as well.

So, all Christians can forgo medical treatment. Great!

But, really, I don't think there are any Christians with that much faith. Maybe just a few JW's who let their children die. :(

Did you actually read the story?

Choux · Dec 23, 2008, 08:11 PM

Of course not.

Post it here if you want people to read something.

I've read it before when someone else or maybe it was even you mentioned it before.

I refer you too.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Of which the article contains almost none. It has a lot of emotional accounts but no real evidence.

Lets put it this way if they were saying I did it would you want more evidence or would you take me at my word?

The published story included before and after mri pictures showing a huge mass before and nothing after. How much more real evidence do you require?

If I had a scanner, I would be happy to send you the pictures.

Btw. Choux, if you didn't read it, why did you even post? The mother was in the process of obtaining medical help when the tumor was found.

Many ill people have been prayed for. Kayla is one who was healed. Why haven't all the others been healed?

artlady · Dec 24, 2008, 06:00 PM

I do believe in divine intervention but sadly there are many people who 's prayers are unanswered. I think that creates a skepticism that is hard to comprehend.

The power of prayer works miracles but miracles are few and far between. I think we all expect or desire a miracle but that is one of the mysteries we will only have answered when we go home to the father. Why some prayers are answered and not others. That is why that call it faith.

Thank-you for your post and I will check it out,sounds fascinating!

Many blessings.. Michele

How about third party verification? I can show you two mris easy. This could be faked very easily. Like I said if I was the one claiming this I don't think you would be so quick to believe.

So you think the reporter at KLTV didn't bother to verify what was going to be reported?

Miracles are called that because they don't happen every day.

Whatever you believe will not affect what Kayla, her family, and her church know. I posted this as a testimony.

I know some will never believe no matter how much evidence there is. Others will find reason to believe for what they need.

And, oh yeah! When I hear an Atheist claim that Jesus Christ performed a miracle in answer to prayer, you can well know that I am going to believe that!

Frankly no, KLTV doesn't exactly have a worldwide reputation. The reporter could be just as biased as you are and she offers very little in the way of facts in the article to prove her case. No second opinions from doctors. No interview with even the first doctor. No prove the doctor in question even exists. Why do you think the reporter missed those very important parts in her article?

spitvenom · Dec 29, 2008, 01:33 PM

The place in Tyler needs to have their MRI machine checked out.

galveston · Jan 3, 2009, 06:51 PM

Kayla knows; her headaches are gone.

Kayla's mother knows; her daughter doesn't need neurosurgery.

The doctor in Dallas knows; he saw the MRI's.

There will never be enough proof for those who cling to their unbelief.

Unbelievers will find their unbelief challenged? Not really!!

So something happened that saved Kayla Knight. Note : I am happy for her, sure !

But where is the OSE that it really was the praying that saved her?
That we do not know precisely what happened does not mean that it was the praying that was the cause of her medical change!!
So : where is the OSE??

One day, Cred, that OSE is going to bite you on the butt.

You can state that, but is it true?? I see no OSE what-so-ever.

All I see here is what you BELIEVE Galv!!

Wish that same almighty God answered my Aunty's prayers as she wasted away with bone cancer.
It might be a good thing if Christians actually rejected medical treatment and relied on prayer. The health system wouldn't be in such a dire predicament. Gee it would be easy for the rest of us to get into see the doc.

Credendovidis · Jan 8, 2009, 04:13 PM

Hello Skell

You know the obvious fundamentalist Christian reply to that :
It was "God's" will for your aunt to die that way , and "God's ways are inscrutable"...

Maybe fundamental Christians should head your suggestion, and leave it indeed to their "God".
Personally I favor good medical treatment, and if that fails the means for self-euthanasia.

Good point !

:)

Yeah I've heard it all before Cred. Its just clutching at straws to try and explain the non existent that controls their lives.
