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.

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. God is always worthy of praise, even if He doesn’t answer your prayer.

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.

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

I'm still praying for you every day.

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.

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?

I think this sums up Christianity nicely.

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.

Who cares what you think? You are the most hateful sack of meat I've ever encountered. Why are you pestering us? Go bother someone else.

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

Can a saved soul use the F word in prayer?

Yes, you can use the word "faith" in prayer.

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!

This is true. God will even forgive Jews who repent, and they killed his Son.

We as Christians are not perfect only Christ is and that's why we need to confess our sins on a daily basis.

Whoa, now you're getting ahead of yourself. Christians do not sin, so how can we confess our sins on a daily basis. If you are still sinning, then you have not truly accepted Jesus.

How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:2
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Romans 6:18
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1 John 3:6

I abideth in Him, so I sinneth not. Why is it so hard for you to do the same?

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

I would like to post a quick reminder for those of you who call yourself Christians and sinners. As we all know, True Christians are Perfect. as evidenced by
1 John 3:8-9 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Now, some of you may not believe that. You may try to twist the verses posted in that sermon into believing that you are still a horrible sinner, but God loves you anyway.

For those of you; I would ask, why do you even bother praying? Don't you know God doesn't listen to the prayers of sinners? God only listens to those who do His will.
After Jesus heals the blind man, a fellow speaking up for Christ tells us that; any man who does His Father's will, the Father will listen to him. Not those in sin.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Here are additional references and resources that show us God's wrath and refusal to listen to the prayers of sinners.

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Jeremiah 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Lamentations 3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
Lamentations 3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Ezekiel 20:3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Ezekiel 20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Hosea 5:6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Micah 3:4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
Zechariah 7:12-13 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
Malachi 1:9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 2:11-13 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.

James 1:6-7 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Actually this is the true 1 John 3:8-9 8 Whoever makes a PRATICE of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a PRATICE of sinning, for God's[a] seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

No. True Christians do not sin. We should all set our sights on that.
