2 Peter 2 "For God did not spare the angels having sinned, but having cast them down to Tartarus, in chains of gloomy darkness, delivered them, being kept for judgment; and He did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, one of eight, having brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, having reduced them to ashes, having set an example of what is coming on the ungodly;"

I'm pretty sure if i put some verses to you,i would get responses like 'the bible shouldn't be taken literally' 'you need the holy spirit to understand that verse' 'a carnal mind can never understand matters of the spirit'..bla..bla..bla. I understand the workings of a Christian mind bro.

As usual people who misunderstand the bible, try to use their misunderstanding against the bible.

Ur interpretation was shown to be wrong.

U were corrected by these christians.

John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."

Lol! Isn't it amazing the bible itself has replies for your silly misconstrued thoughts.

Richirich713:
Why are atheists so desperate and obsessed with christians?

Why are they desperate to get christians to not believe in God?

Maybe it cuz they ain't sure if there's no God, so the next best thing is to get as many people to join them in hell, just in case, since they know they got everything to lose while christians got nothing to lose.

That's what I been noticing on this forum, as soon as a Christian makes a thread, atheists run in.

If they believe there no God, why even bother to debate people who do.

Atheists sure seem very worried there is a God and very worried there is a hell.

A very simple question sir,Who is the author of the 2nd book of Peter

frank317:
Lol... The Christian God will always have a reason for not answering prayers. No wonder his children are always wretched and his prophets chose to defraud members, talking about taking it by force.
Admit it,if this God exists he is plain wicked and heartless. He has so many fixing to do. There are so many Christan denominations and everyone thinks he is getting it right.
The OP is only making assumptions about God the supposedly creator if the universe.... Is this some kind of joke? Most people who are comfortable in life do not bother relating with your God. Me thinks worshiping his God is just an unnecessary bondage.

The only rule about having high probability of makinf it in life is 'work hard and think smart'. Waiting for a sky daddy who behaves like a little kid will not help u. What sort of God created so many rules before giving his living children. They must beg beg beg and beg... Lol @ it could be God wants to give u more than what u are asking for. Oooboy see reason for not answering prayer... And people accept this shiiiit?

cold:

Sigh..I see you've elevated the art of cherrypicking to perfection. Did your bible also tell you that your god created evil? So why are we dissipating our time supplicating to a god that brought the evil upon us in the first place? I'm sure as an artful dodger,you already have a ready made response to this.

ifeness:
The simple answer is because god doesn't exist. Can any one show me a photograph of god?

Jeromejnr:


The Holy Spirit.

The answer is even written in the book you mentioned.

2 Tim 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,"

2 Peter 1:20 "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

omonnakoda:
The Muslims claim that the Quran was dictated to Mohammed by an Angel of God and he reproduced it verbatim. That is quite simple to understand and debunk but at least the Muslims KNOW where their Quran"Came from". We have dates etc. Of course reading the Quran makes it clear that Mohammed plagiarized the bible and Torah extensively but that is another matter.Where there are discrepancies he simply asserts that his own version is right and those books have been corrupted.

With Christians it is not so clear so I will use this opportunity to ask Christians. Kindly tell us the source of the Bible e.g we know from the New Testament Gospels that Jesus went into the temple and read the scriptures.So at that time there was no "New Testament"

When did the New Testament come into being and who was it that decreed the New Testament to be SCRIPTURE

can the objects created within the world of virtualization in computer understand their creator? Can the know the creator of their creator? When the computer ends, the objects in the world of computer ends but the creator lives on. And becos they cannot understand beyond the realm of virtualization in computer, the objects claim they dont have a creator but they just happen to exist in this virtual world of computer.

Jeromejnr:


Verily, verily I say unto you, you need enlightment.

Jesus is the New Testament. The new testament is the fulfilment of the old testament.

The old testament which Jesus and the Jews read was the guiding pathway to the new.

The new testament came into being with the disciples of Jesus.

John 16…12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14"He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.…

AWONEYAN:
Reasons God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayers

1. It could be you’re not a child of God.

This may sound obvious or even cruel, but God has no obligation to answer the prayers of unbelievers (Psalm 34:15, 17; Proverbs 15:8, 29; John 9:31; 1 Peter 3:12). He may answer, but He has not obligated Himself to do so.

The only prayer an unbeliever may be assured God will answer—and answer immediately—is a prayer of faith and acceptance of His Son, who died on the cross and rose again, as the basis for the forgiveness of your sins.

2. It could be your motives or actions.

As Christians, there are a couple of reasons God may choose to delay or deny answering our prayers. In these cases, He is waiting on us.

Your motives in prayer. It may seem simplistic, but if we don’t ask, God won’t answer. And when we do pray, our reasons for asking must not be selfish (James 4:2-3).
Your actions in life toward others. Our actions also can hinder God’s answer. If you are flagrantly disobedient to God, you may expect your prayers to be hindered (Psalm 66:18; Micah 3:4; 1 Peter 3:7; 1 John 3:21). This is by design—so that you may return to the Lord wholeheartedly.
3. It could be your misunderstanding of God’s priorities.

Some of the problems we have with prayer arise out of a wrong understanding of God. The better we know about God in the Scriptures, the better we will understand how to pray—and why God responds to prayer as He does.

God answers prayer according to His will (1 John 5:14-14). But just like us, the desires are not all equal. My desire to remain faithful to my wife until I die is not on the same level of my desire to take a nap on Sunday. It’s a matter of priorities.

God has a will too, but not all aspects of His will are of equal priority. For example:

God desires, first and foremost that He receives glory.
God desires all people have a choice about the decisions they make.
He also desires people to live a reasonably happy life while here on earth.
All are His will, but this final priority comes after the first two. Our problems with prayer often come when we think the first thing on God’s mind is our happiness and not His glory.




4. It could be that it’s just not time yet.

So let’s say we are living for Christ in our attitude and actions and praying according to His will. What do we do when all systems are go, but the answer still hasn’t come?

You keep praying.

He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart. —Luke 18:1
You don’t lose heart. Here’s why:

It may be that circumstances require changing before you can accept the answer.
It may be that the answer depends on someone else responding to God too (remember God’s order of priorities).
It may be that the delay is to see how seriously you are willing to pray.
God may delay answering your prayers in order to give you far more than you’re asking for. 
5. It could be God wants to give you more than you’re asking for.

If God is able to answer (and He is), and if He has promised to answer the prayers of His children (and He has), then the delay in the answer—we must know—is not that God is apathetic or absent.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think . . . to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. —Ephesians 3:20–21
In the final analysis, it may be that God desires to give you more than the simple answer to your prayer, making the answer—once it is received—all the more sweet.

Please add other reason, you feel are causes of hindrance or delay to prayers.
