MissRaine69:now I see that u are one misguided Numbskull, understand this fact Africa was in bondage spiritually but was also far behind in colonisation infact the most developed part in Africa was mostly part of north africa the likes of Morocco and Egypt I don't see ur lineage around those areas. Christianity has helped you in so many ways but you can go to hell If u don't care |

CAPSLOCKED:I see you have been reading ur bedtime mystery books, Christianity among other religion stated off badly but has spread to all continents,the pioneers were despised by their people but the publishers of this gospel came from mighty continents and now ur own country is flowing with Christians and note Christianity is never coercive,but the flourishing religions in different countries never did spread this way,the practices of the Aztec the Maya the Eskimos the aborigans,Hinduism, Buddhism ,Celtic and others.even the wild spread Islam is by war. I can imagine u an atheist proclaiming the name of Allah at the site of a jihad. I just laugh at confused hypocrites like u trying to claim wisdom.smh |

CAPSLOCKED:If becoming a Christian is to be done through war, the larger percent of the world would have belonged to Christians cos the earliest sophisticated weapons of war were invented by Christian nations |

CalciumB3:1. If you like, sleep in your church 24/7 days of your life, so long as you remain unrighteous, God will never answer any of your prayers. According to Scripture, God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; their every plea/petition/request is tainted with their sins(unholiness) and hence rendered an abomination to God. God does not answer any prayers said by anyone who is still a slave to sin, not even their pleas for forgiveness of sins are heard by Him. God only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their hearts because it is for them that His love is stored — those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His every direct teaching and commandment. So, if you like, remain yes-man to your pastors and mogs for all of your life, God will not answer any of your prayers no matter how much you press or desire for Him to. He demands nothing less than righteousness from all those who desire to benefit from Him. That is why Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness) and God's righteousness in order that all these things — the blessings and benefits of the Kingdom of God— shall be added on to each. |

yanabasee:God says He only answers the prayers of the righteous, so unless you are already holy and righteous, God will never answer your prayers. |

eddyslim:According to Scripture, it isn't based on your belief but based on whether you are God righteous or not. God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous as their every prayer, plea, praise, work, offering, and petition are made filthy with their sins and hence an abomination to God. |

tammytam:God's mercy and compassion do not necessary point to answers to prayer as He instead said He pours that out daily on even the wicked and the ungrateful. |

What is a church?A collection of people who are connected by the same interest. In today's world, it is used primarily in reference to the business establishments linked majorly to those of the religion of Christianity. |

jrklinz:David was termed by God a man after His own heart because David was righteous in His youth. And this is the reason why his errors were forgiven by God — God forgives the sin of the righteous but the unrighteous require sacrifices to purge them of their wickedness. |

CalciumB3:Your churches are houses built on lies so how can? 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. 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 Gof and to His 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. |
