anyicash:lol..... from your comment, I can see traces of fear, do not be afraid, the supreme being will not kill you overnight. Now, if you have the time, take it(time) to examine the concepts of all the omni omni you've listed above, you'd see that they are mutually exclusive( if one can happen, the other cannot, and vice versa). And endeavour to provide proof of his interference in the universe(one you've personally experience will do) |

redon12:this kind of mentality will not get us anywhere close to success in this continent (Africa) a human like you developed the automobile, a human like you conceived the idea of electricity. they never waited for any god to come tell or give them the power to do this things. They believed that they had the power to do it and they did it. Africans, let evolve pls. 1 Like |

joyContraMundum: l doubt you even understand what he wrote? Read it again and relate the two issue: One man praying for long life while the other is praying for increase in his "coffin-making" business! The issue here is that both are mutually exclusive! Only people dying can make the coffin maker to have more business! Read and reflect on it again. Lastpage! 1 Like |

lastpage:I thought he was a theist GENUINELY trying to use that "logic" to explain why God doesn't answer the OP's prayers. But now, it seems more to me like some sort of sarcasm, intended to ridicule the very concept of prayer. |

frank317:when we talk about philosophy it entails many things that are true and untrue .. But then a phenomenon entails something that is actually true... now its a phenomenon that they western world evolved very fast than us in terms of technology .. we even saw them As Gods then... but God wasn't a fool... he Gave them Knowledge but gave us Africans they riches and minerals.. which white men exploited... Knowledge must be distributed evenly to balance nature... a method was correctly employed by God God created Nature in such a way that it will want to balance itself... and because all humans "are the same" it is now a phenomenon that even they blacks that saw they whites as Gods can also be like they white cause we have the same pairs of eyes and limbs the same intestinal structure.... Take for example blacks are coming they best in they world now races are mixing... this are all things that can't be explained by normal circumstances.... take a look at "Ben Carson - Best surgeon world wide. Mohammed Ali -black also baddest boxer US are thinking of creminating his brain.. Philip emeagweli a Nigerian black - develop they fastest computer... all this are achievements by they blacks to show that God wasn't partial in any way... to cut they Long story short.... God brought together most essential knowledge of they earth through people since he is an invisible God.... school came in... a place where if you strive you can be like Albert Einstein , earnest Rutherford and Da Vinci they white men.... it seems you are not a Christian but just know that God exist and is a Hod of justice ... its just that we sin and drive him away... Nobody is perfect and No body is well educated to know mysteries except if revealed to you... trust me... |

helinues:Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. |

lytech1:You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who he loves.

Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you. |

YOU ARE PRAYING IN SIN OR PRAYING AND SINNING. VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD. |

Royalfurnitures:According to God, there is only one factor and it is unrighteousness, and nothing else. So long as a person remains unrighteous God literally promises He will not answer the person's prayers. No rituals can change the mind of God. |
