Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Can a saved soul use the F word in prayer?
I take it that there are moments in prayer when an intercessor is so angry with the world sins that he lets escape his lips the dreaded word, not so?

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Of course not, blasphemer.

Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Are you calling me blasphemer in anger?
The very verse you quoted tells you to be considerate - obviously you have never been drunk with the HG!

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Brother Jones is incapable of unrighteous anger.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

If you were actually familiar with the fruits of the Holy Spirit, you would recognize them in those who profess them.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

God does listen to the prayers of sinners who truly repent. God is so abundant and more generous in his forgiveness towards others..HE is greater than our hearts and HE knows everything! We as Christians are not perfect only Christ is and that's why we need to confess our sins on a daily basis. We need to ask God to cleanse ourselves with the Blood of Jesus Everyday as the spirit leads us. This is also necessary before worship! Let us not limit God's Love. Jesus is more willing to forgive any sinner who repents. It is not the same as taking God's mercy for granted. God knows and understands our weaknesses and he is always ready for those who have gone astray and come back to him. Though we walk in the truth and the ways of God it is not our righteous acts that save us. We are saved by HIS righteousness! We depend on His righteous as we are cleansed BY HIS BLOOD as the Holy Spirit convicts us!

The New testament is about LOVE AND MERCY..Jesus represents himself as a Total GOD OF LOVE! Must we think he wont have a heart for people who seek his forgiveness with a true heart? And by what standards do we call others sinners and tell them that they will not be forgiven. God is More gracious than we can even imagine! That is why JESUS taught us to pray 'Forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us'.

God's love and grace be with you all! :):) God bless!

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

You are wrong. Not all sins are forgiven: Mark "But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation."

You are wrong. A True Christian™ is perfect and he is free of sin: 1st John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

You are wrong. The new testament is about Hell and how to avoid it. Matthew 18:9 "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire."

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Oh you poor, poor thing. Whoever taught you about Jesus has lied to you terribly. I'm so sorry, but you'll go to Hell if you don't learn the Truth.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

That's just silly! You should stop reading "The Secret" and pick up a copy of a 1611 King James Bible so you don't embarrass yourself any more! You are not at some "Girls Gone Wild" party talking to your drug-addled whore friends, we know our Bible here!

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Bumping up this thread because of an epiphany I had in Bible study today.

So many come to our boards and basically say that they don't believe in God because God doesn't answer their prayers. Well these two scripture came forward to me today...


James 4:1-3 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

and


Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

So basically the Bible is telling us that "greedy prayers" will not be answered. I also understand where God is coming from with the covetousness being the same as idolatry. Have you seen people who are fixated on one item? They pretty much worship that item, once I get that item then everything will be perfect, I will be completely happy, nothing will ever go wrong again.

Amazing how the Bible always has the answers!:thumbsup:

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

There is also 2 Samuel 12. David had Uriah the Hittite killed, which is wrong because the Bible says, “Thou shalt not kill” (Ex 20:13). So God decided to kill David’s baby because He is just (Deut 32:4), even though David had repented and God had forgiven him (2 Sam 12:13).

2 Sam 12:15b-20a
15 The Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped.

David prayed and fasted for seven days, interceding for his unborn child. But God denied his request. God cannot go back on His word. If He makes a vow, He will fulfill it. He said He would kill David’s baby and He did.

Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

In the end, David did the right thing. After God ignored his prayers and killed his baby, he went to the tabernacle and worshipped God. :thumbsup: God is always worthy of praise, even if He doesn’t answer your prayer.

Amen Brother, Amen.

Whenever life gets tough I am always drawn to re-read the last 5 Chapters of Job. A very humbling part of the Bible.

Didn't see the fingernail at first, and thought I was looking at something else.

I am so going to hell. :(

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Probably but, with your knowledge of the True Word of God, you still may have a chance if you repent and finally accept the fact that you are actually a Christian.

I pray that you wiil finally see The Light.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

It would only take one prayer session with the pastors to change that. :wub:

I'm still praying for you every day.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Our father who art in heaven please help sinners come to Jesus.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Just keep in mind, God does not hear the prayers of sinners. If you are a sinner (and I happen to know you are) this prayer is a waste of time.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

Indeed, Brother Mayor! Why, it's nothing more than, say, talking to an imaginary friend, or just talking to yourself. Why would anyone do that?

:wacko:

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

I think this sums up Christianity nicely.

Re: Reminder: God does not hear the prayers of sinners.
 

If only it was. Christianity entails DOING what that "imaginary friend" tells you, such as killing those who would entice them to disregard what the Bible clearly states and follow other gods, like the one you've created in your mind.
