world123:Stop lying! There is no verse that says you are to pray according to the will of God. That line is particularly from the mouth of your gods of men whose lies you lot worship in place of God's Truth. |

pradoyeep: The scripture says that the blood of JESUS cleanses us from ALL sin. Whether it is pride, unconfessed sin, etc. Or are you saying that God did not forgive these? |

world123:You don't have the holy Spirit so why should I spend time discussing that which you don't even know with you? |

shoboy9: God is merciful. The Bible says with thy mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10: 10). He forgives only when you acknowledge and confess you sins and accept Jesus as you Lord and saviour (Romans 10:9-10) Revelation 3:20 Says, "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in quickly and sup with him and he with me. He is always willing to forgive only when you let him in by confessing your sins (He wants to hear you say it) and accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour. |

Kobojunkie: Since you said that what the apostles of old wrote are lies, let's look at this scripture that says, " Thy kingdom come, thy WILL be done in earth as it is in heaven." Who made the statement above? Sweetheart, there is something called the WILL OF GOD which is already settled in heaven. If you pray contrary to his will, you will be praying for a long time and getting nothing. |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkie: 6:43pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
world123:1. The Will of God refers to God's Law. Asserting that God caused His Law of God to be done — implemented — on earth has nothing to do with your earlier that somehow one is to only ask for that which you assume is according to God's Law. Cease with the numerous attempts to twist scripture in order to justify that which is antichrist in orientation. |

I leave you to your maker. Can you actually read and understand what you have written. Sweetheart, sleep on this scripture, " thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven." |

Lamasta: But there is no righteous one, not one, says the holy book. So, are you in alignment with those that says prayers are never answered? |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkie: 8:22pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
Abemy:I am afraid you misconstrue the words of Paul there. Paul wrote of the situation in the land as it was about 1900 years ago, during the last days of God's final judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah included). There were none righteous in the land at the time, just as it was the case during the time of Noah. And so God carried out His final judgment rendering the people cursed and scattered and Jerusalem unholy. |

Abemy: Except they repent and turn from there unrighteous ways then God will answer them |

Kobojunkie: Romans 3 [10] As the Scriptures say: “There is no one who is righteous, [11] no one who is wise or who worships God. [12] All have turned away from God; they have all gone wrong; no one does what is right, not even one. [13] Their words are full of deadly deceit; wicked lies roll off their tongues, and dangerous threats, like snake's poison, from their lips; [14] their speech is filled with bitter curses. [15] They are quick to hurt and kill; [16] they leave ruin and destruction wherever they go. [17] They have not known the path of peace, [18] nor have they learned reverence for God.” Good News Bible (GNB) |

Abemy:This is why it is good to have a good grasp of the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ before you go off quoting Paul as if absolutes. For all(the evil people) have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God - Paul In Romans 3 vs 10 - 18 Paul quotes from various parts of scripture in his attempt to explain to his brethren that they were in fact the wicked and evil generation to the destroyed by God. Yes, at that point in time, God's plan was to destroy the rest of Israel — the Nation of Judah aka the Jews— and that plan was heralded by the coming of Jesus Christ. Below, we see that what Paul wrote in that passage was of the evil people who were against God. ■ Romans 3 vs 10 - 12 quotes Psalm 53 where David writes about the evil people who do terrible things. 1 Only fools think there is no God. People like that are evil and do terrible things. They never do what is right.The above passage clearly says that this prophecy was said of the evil people aka the fools who convinced themselves that God does not exist. You know this from reading verse 4 where God highlights the way evil people treat His people. ■ Romans 3 vs 13 a Paul references David's prayer against his enemies found in Psalm 5 8 Lord, show me your right way of living and make it easy for me to follow. People are looking for my weaknesses, so show me how you want me to live.■ Romans 3 vs 13 b quotes from Psalm 140 where David prays to God regarding the evil people 1 Lord, save me from people who are evil. Protect me from those who are cruel,■ Romans 3 vs 15 quotes from Proverbs 1 which is a warning against evil people 10 My son, those who love to do wrong will try to trick you. Don’t listen to them.■ Romans 3 vs 16 - 17 references Isaiah's writing on the state of the evil people, whose sins separate them from God 1 Look, the Lord’s power is enough to save you. He can hear you when you ask him for help.■ Romans 3 vs 18 references Psalm 18 where David writes of the evil people and the workings of their minds. 1 Deep in the hearts of the wicked a voice tells them to do wrong. They have no respect for God. As you can see, every single passage of Scripture that was quoted by Paul in that context was written in reference to people who do evil — the unrighteous. And of course, there are none righteous among the evil people for they have all sinned. After establishing his focus in the earlier verses, the evil people i.e. the unrighteous, in verses 19-20 Paul reiterates that the curse on the unrighteous cannot be removed right by the Law(of Moses) — they cannot be made righteous by following the Old Law. In verse 21, Paul then posits that God has provided for the unrighteous(evil people) a path to redemption by which they can be made righteous and that path is the New Law(The Good News). Paul insists that God makes the unrighteous people righteous through their faith in Jesus Christ and He does so for all those who believe in Jesus Christ, verse 22. Again, Paul insists in verse 23 that all(the evil people aka unrighteous) have sinned and come short of the glory of God and can only be made righteous by following, not the old Law, but the new Law which offers the free gift of grace(Eternal Life). Paul also insists that the unrighteous are able to become righteous in God by becoming free from their sins through Jesus Christ. In verses 25-26, Paul then recapped by saying that God gave Jesus Christ a way to forgive the sins of people — the unrighteous aka sinners whom He came to call to repentance — by way of what Paul refers to as the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In all, the primary audience or focus of Paul's writing in Roman 3 were the unrighteous sinners in the land, ignoring the righteous people who equally existed at the time. As a matter of fact, at the time of Paul's writing of this epistle, the other disciples of Jesus Christ were probably righteous given they already obtained the Spirit of Truth for a companion long before this. Paul in no way meant this to say that there were absolutely no righteous individuals in the land. Rather, he focused his message on those who were listed as unrighteous and remained under God's curse from the Old Law, and yet to be set free from slavery to sin by Jesus Christ. |

Kobojunkie: Would you be able to help me in some areas of needs in the bible? Maybe on WhatsApp, or should we continue via Nairaland mention? I will be grateful. |

Abemy:I am not certain what you are looking for in scripture. However, if Jesus Christ is the one you seek, then I suggest you abandon the doctrines and traditions of your gods of men and focus your energy instead on learning the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ and obeying every single one of them. That is the only way to gain access to Him and the understanding you seek. |
