Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So you don't think God answers prayers?

Then we have peabrain sheep that identify as christians.

The likes of wabi and jX telling folk they know the way..TFF

Sheep are kept for two primary reasons, shearing and BBQs.

Jesus knows the way. You're a liar. I have explained some commonly misunderstood things regarding history and profits.

And people say jag is negative.

DBT, have you ever asked Christ into your heart if He exists?

I guess I will wear derogative comments as sort of a badge. I wish all well.

Jesus did, and more. Pretty sure the Bible says the more slings and arrows you take for Him, the more blessings you will receive.

Whats he say about flinging arrows?

Thank you Doc, don't get so rough on the folks. Remember Jesus loves all.

Christian N.T. Bible describes them as helpless sheep.




So you consider your God is being derogatory
Likening you to sheep, then you turn about
and say he loves all...

Two things sheep are renown for doing;

Huddling in chickenchitt fear or scatterbrain like cutting loose
And getting stuck in a thorn bush and/or eaten by predators.

Great civilizations and cultures have had eagles
Owls and serpents as symbols of wisdom,
avoiding the sheep for obvious good reason.

Ask for Him to bless your shot. Worked for David also.

Brahman? Allah? Zeus? Ra? Marduk? Yahweh....who had a PR makeover in New Testament times....or some other version of God? Perhaps new age universal mind, or creative principle? Or a set and forget Deity that got the ball rolling but plays no part in it?

I think I worked out why god doesn't answer prayers (apart from god not being real) - the believers know the rules but continue to sin, time and time again, and pray for forgiveness, and god can't understand why they never learn their lesson and just comply, so puts them on the "prayer ignore" list. I don't think he has the time to go back and review/update the list - so once on there you're just blowing hot air into your hands. Can't deny the logic of that and hopefully this will be added as a clarification in the next edition of the bible.

I think also that Steven Hawking living far beyond the expected life time of someone with his condition would be considered a miracle, and a testimony to the power of non-prayer. How do the believers explain that one? (I know there will be answers, or at least responses.)
