I had a discussion with him about his meaning a very long time ago.

What is missing in Post #7?

English is not his first language, and he has another problem, which I will not mention again on the open forum. It is spelled out elsewhere. I suggest now leaving the subject.

Noticing is not criticizing.
I noticed he starts a lot of threads, just a fact.
I noticed he does not make a lot of comments on his “own” threads, just a fact.
I did not criticize his English language skills, nor did “I” wonder what he meant. Someone else “wondered what he meant”.
I did not wonder or guess or mention “any” problems he may have.
I do not require a “suggestion” to post or not post on any thread.

@Lambano I sufficed with a Russian Bible....
I took this this course in Soviet and Eastern European Science Fiction in college. The prof was a freaking genius. He reprogrammed his HP 41C pocket calculator (early 1980s technology) to display the Prologue to John’s Gospel in Russian (which he spoke fluently), in Cyrillic characters:

В начале было Слово,
и Слово было со Всевышним,
и Слово было Всевышним.

You cannot heal Ivan. Only God can. So ask God if he would heal Ivan from whatever infirmity he has, in Jesus name.
Shhh! We both know that we can't heal anybody. But sometimes Father lets His children participate in His healing work, even if it's just saying a prayer. Even if it would be more efficient if He just did it Himself. It's a little secret that helps keep me sane.

(Though I understand and appreciate the lesson you're trying to teach. I incorporated your lesson in the Swedish prayer I posted, on the educational principle that sometimes it's better to show them than to tell them. Sometimes.)

I guess I misunderstood your purpose. I apologize!
