Topic: If God gives you three wishes, what will they be?

[Ian Lazarus]

Two Cokes and a bag of pretzels?

[Ian Lazarus]

Ham, bread and mustard?

[Ian Lazarus]

Felicity, Patience and Servitude.

[Ian Lazarus]

A three meat X Large Pizza

[Ian Lazarus]

All that, a bag of chips, and  Dr. Pepper?

[Catherine]

All that, a bag of chips, and  Dr. Pepper?

Do you mean British chips or crisps...?

[Ian Lazarus]

Nope.  Good ol' Doritos, made in Dallas!



(I know Chips are Fries in England and that Crisps are Chips.  Just gotta say it like I'm accustomed to )

[Mivac]

I'd like to hear some opinions...

Of course for me, I'd choose something that will benefit me in the afterlife, but I'm still not sure. One of the fruits/gifts of the Holy Spirit probably...

---
Oops, I think this would've been better off in the "Off topics" section. Oh well.

1. unity - which imo includes peace, love, etc.
2. healing for all
3. The full presence of the Lord reigning as he says he will.

[minasoliman]

1.  To end all schisms of the Church.
2.  To remove a particular "thorn on my back" so to speak.
3.  To remove the excess weight that I have (either that or at least help me not struggle through the P90X program I'm doing....it's killing me Lord!).

I wouldn't want anything like special knowledge or a strong faith. I think the struggle along the way is an important part of life. It's a fun part of life as well. To a lot of things I have to say "I don't know" at this point in my life, and frankly, I like it better that way. Not that I value ignorance; rather, I just value the thrill of the hunt for truth. So, what does that leave me with? My wishes would be rather worldly...

1. I want enough money mystically put in my bank account that I could live off it for the rest of my life. I live in a rather rural area where the cost of living is low, so even a million dollars should be able to cover me for the next 30-50 years I'll be alive.

2. A reliable car that would last me the rest of my life, and which would never break down. I don't care what kind of car, or what color (as long as it's not pink ).

3. Ok, these are wishes from God, so anything is possible, even for a bloke like me! So, for my third wish, I want a shot at marrying Michele Lepe. Just a shot, that's all I ask.

Why? Saying that wars of choice (which are all wars the USA is waging, because all of them are on the territory of sovereign nations that never attacked the US) are evil and should be stopped - that cannot be taken seriously?

Moderators, please feel free to split this to Politics if you think it's appropriate. Papist raised a very serious question...

[Super Apostolic Bros.]

My three wishes?

1). To be wise like Him.
2). To love like Him.
3). More wishes.

In that order.







The OP never laid out the limitations a la the Genie in Aladdin.

[LizaSymonenko]

My Three Wishes:

1. Salvation of all mankind
2. Peace, Unity, Love and Accord within the One Holy Indivisible Orthodox Church
3. Help in knowing and accomplishing what it is I am to accomplish while here

Lord, have mercy!

The problem is that you are always talking about this. Over and over and over. Then you make ridiculous statements like the last one in which you said you want to see the previous vice president executed. I mean, come on, this is a light-hearted "three wishes" thread and you had to go there. I have no problem with your pacifism (even though it is silly) but your later statements are unacceptable.

So thou wishest to be that which thou denies?

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Shouldn't that be "deniest"?

Sorry, pet peeve.

Is it "deniest" or "denieth?"

[Alveus Lacuna]

A fish sandwich sounds really good right now.

[Papist]

1. Unlimited access to Dion's Pizza
2. A good night's sleep
3. Christmas break.

[Entscheidungsproblem]

1) Vacation
2) Money for said vacation
3) Responsibilities to freeze during said vacation so I could actually enjoy it

Amen.

Amen.

Though I am not a huge fan of the heat, I really wish summer (and the possibility of rest) would return. 

[Papist]

Amen.

You know what would be great this time of year? A trip to Cancun.

I love the cold though.  If funds suffice, maybe I can head to Northern Europe for the summer.  Sure it isn't "cold" then, but anything to escape the 30s, 40s and humidity of here.

Oh wow! And here I am dreaming of a relaxing day on the beach.  I am certainly planning on getting to one by at least this summer. Of Course no beaches in NM. 

[Indocern]

Boundless knowledge.

Here's some fruit from the Tree.

  Guess I will have to wait until I can become a cyborg then for my boundless knowledge. 

I at least have chip. This chip is more expensive than the soul of God!

[beebert]

For me, one wish from God is enough

[minasoliman]

Yea I agree that you only need one wish. It might not be the same wish I’m thinking for you though

[Arachne]

It all depends on whether the chips are English or American.

We call those English ones “French”

Aren't the French ones 'fries'?

True...but the picture makes it look the same

[xOrthodox4Christx]

I think giving me three wishes would not be a good idea.

[William T]

So an Orthodox,  Catholic,  and Protestant are stranded out in the desert dying of thirst and come across a magic lamp holy relic and a genie God appears granting each of them one wish.

The Catholic says " God,  it's nice to be out here with you,  but I'm dying of thirst,  please send me home so I can live, and I'll praise you from home"

And *poof* the Catholic goes home.

The protestant says " skip going home man,  I want to go to Fiji"

So God teleported the protestant to Fiji.

The Orthodox,  being a lonely fellow,  looked to his left and right side and said "gee God it's kind of lonely out here,  can you send my friends back?"
