frank317: Now this makes some sense Sir. So as i've said earlier in my post on this same thread, prayers aren't meant to pester God for unlimited wants but our daily needs! Matthew 6:11 With our daily needs, no one will hurt another but it's excessive wants that makes people so desperate to the point of rendering their conscience dead! Matthew 6:31-32 For the main time children are born and people also die each day and that's enough for both maternity homes and casket makers to meet their daily needs, it's the excess people wants that makes them plan for the things they don't even need! 1Timothy 6:9-10 |

ediko5: I perfectly knew that, that's why i tactfully poked his meaningless bubble with wisdom! Prayers are meant for two purposes. (1) To appease the unseen intelligent beings that mortals need their assistance. So prayers aren't only peculiar to Christianity but all forms of worship as people communicates with spirits! (2) For the intelligent creature {human} to be aware of his limitations and minimize his unlimited wants. This is where TRUE Christians have an edge above all other forms of worship because unlike those whose thought is that God must provide not just their needs but WANTS, Jesus taught his TRUE followers NOT to focus on basic necessities of life because even other creatures who do not toil for it are fed, rather they should focus on expanding the global family of peace-loving worshippers by enlightening those living close to them about the prospect of a peaceful world! |

frank317:This is where predestination comes into play. prayer is not an obstacle to effort neither does effort an obstacle to predestination. but enough prayer and effort compliment a better Destiny. |

Re: If You Are God, Which Of These Prayers Will U Answer? by frank317: 11:36am On Aug 11, 2019 |
Maximus69: This is not about excess wants bro... Its about when prayers clash. Its about two people praying for the same thing from different angle and if one has to get, the other will have to lose. We see this every day. Two people need a job in the same firm... Its okay i f u say they should work hard for the job, but when prayer is involved, it means God will have to favour one person over another and it makes a mess of the whole thing. 2 Likes |

Re: If You Are God, Which Of These Prayers Will U Answer? by Nobody: 2:10pm On Aug 11, 2019 |
frank317: NO Sir, Prayers don't crash! It's the unlimited wants of humans that's making people feel it must be so. Nothing concerns God, when people are searching for jobs or other opportunities. What's of importance to God is the connection between the so called job/opportunity and his own purpose! It may sound like Jehovah's Witnesses have come again with their own doctrine but try to search the scriptures whether you'll find a faithful servant of God praying for such. If we tell you that those people aren't Christians as in worshippers of the true God, many of you will assume we're bragging. But the heritage of God's own people totally differs from the thinking of atheists {all those expecting God to make things work for them before they can attest to his existence including religionists having the same line of thought} they just feel God must prove himself even when their pursuit is after selfish things! |

I think God gave animals the dominion to prey & eat each other. So this is not something to even think about. BTW, do animals pray? At op? |

Maximus69: I don't trade banters nor do I do insults on social media, but I can't resist the urge to insult your ignorance. i will be further dismayed if the OP decided further any discussion, he should have referred you to google instead, just to save him from unnecessary back and forth typing all in the name of argument and also to save you from further display of intellectual laziness. I will not respond further to your post. thank you |

samisj4real: Animals were created with instinct Sir, so they don't have the ability to think of prayer! They weren't created to hunt one another out of hunger as obtainable today,it's the rebellion in the garden of Eden that led to all this misappropriations! All creatures started acting on impulse and the fittest dominates the feeble ones. Even most of them no more have regards for humans who are supposed to rule over them! Genesis 1:28. Adamic sin also led to a curse on the ground and it stopped bringing normal plants that were supposed to be good food, and started bearing thorns and thistles that's of no benefits to us! Genesis 3:17-18 How do you think all these animals could have been acting in the time when Adam was naming each of them? {Genesis 2:19} or when Noah packed all of them in the same Ark and fetching food for them? Genesis 6:18-21 So don't doubt God's promised that after he has forgiven us regarding Adamic sin, everything will return to how it supposed to be! Isaiah 11:6, 65:25 Even the ground will be replenished so that it will start bearing all sorts of good, nourishing food that's good for life.{Psalms 67:6} Noteworthy also is the promise that God will return the tree of life {Genesis 3:22} so that all obedient ones can eat and live forever! Revelations 22:2 That's part of what the Good News about the coming Kingdom of God as found in the Bible! Matthew 10:7 No wonder Jesus urged his faithful followers to keep praying saying "JEHOVAH our God, let your kingdom come!" Matthew 6:9 |

Sorry Sir! My God is the author of a small book containing 1,189 chapters and over 31,000 verses! This book is popularly known as the Bible He is a living God and his Witnesses aren't spiritually dumb like the worshippers of dead gods who can't outwit as in silence scoffers of your type. Psalms 115:3-8 So when it comes to wisdom in the power of tongue {Hebrews 4:12} don't underestimate the TRUE worshippers of such a God because we'll ridicule all your philosophy even when you think you're smart! 1Corinthians 3:19 So don't bother to respond because there's nothing you've got to say that will not be turned to stupidity before the worshippers of JEHOVAH the one and only living God! Isaiah 54:17 hayoholla: |

frank317: You don't love the food, but you think God should love it. You eat up former living things every day, why? Why don't you just eat sand and plastic? What if the vegetables, rice, fish, chicken and goat don't want to die or be eaten? Why don't you show love? Why are you so barbaric? 2 Likes |

Re: If You Are God, Which Of These Prayers Will U Answer? by Nobody: 5:11pm On Aug 11, 2019 |
frank317: He is trying to reason from the perspective of a Christian! When we're discussing about sensitive matters like this, we don't just concentrate on the one who is demanding a reason for the faith in us. Our comments, responses and speeches are targeted at all those who might stumble on the discussion! Act 26:28 So he perfectly understood the OP, he's just being sarcastic because it's obvious the OP is targeted at the believers of a God who answers prayers! |

Image123: Hmmmmmmmmmmm Let me guess! It seems the op is the one agitating now, whereas the OP is just the concept itself. Right? Mr Image, you're now insulting the op, because there is no OP without an op who supposed to be the intelligent mind behind the OP. So if you're ridiculing the OP, then the op must rise up to defend the OP. I think that is what's happening right now! |

Re: If You Are God, Which Of These Prayers Will U Answer? by Nobody: 10:41am On Aug 12, 2019 |
frank317: He perfectly understood everything! The problem here is when you have a particular group at heart to ridicule instead of how to help everyone in general to benefit from your concept, then you've already dug a pit so that the concept itself is short-lived! But if your concept is for all to benefit, then everyone will stand to gain because there will be no group where someone will not come and pick something of benefit and whoever feels like criticising such fine concept will only find himself isolated from all other reasonable intellectuals. Notice what one of the commentators said "it was directed to Christians" whereas there is no concept that's efficient enough to ridicule TRUE Christianity! Your concept would have been excellent if it was presented in a way that's not biased! For example "What do people stand to gain by talking to someone they can't see?" You'll find out that you won't need to start agitating at all because those you really want to intimidate will start attacking one another and even ridiculing one another because their prayers aren't truthfully directed to anyone but just to make a showoff before their neighbors! @Matthew 6:5 Jesus said "and when you pray, do not pray like hypocrites who loves to stand in the synagogue{place of worship} and at the corner of the broadway making themselves visible to passersby, truly i'm telling you, they've received the rewards of such prayers in full!" With this in mind, you'll be able to help many people realize that PRAYER is not supposed to be something to impress others but between you and your God! And it's when people SEE the result that they'll be moved to ask you "what made this thing possible?" Matthew 6:6 For your information, that's why most religionists thought Jehovah's Witnesses don't pray at all, since our prayers is not for showoff or to impress observers! |

frank317: So what do we do, we die or kill ourselves? Of course, we live in reality, not in an IF illusion. You don't have a planet or continent but you are criticising the owner of everything. It's like a lame man saying if he was Messi or Ronaldo, he'd have done better. Hilarious. |
