Can you pray for terrorists throughout the world?

Question

can all theist pray to god for terrorist so that, they may understand that there nothing better in life than love for others, they give up path of armed struggle to non violent mode of protests, similar to that Gandhi experimented in india and south africa.

1) there is only one god so there is no meaning in saying which religion is better, the only issue is to understand god better, lead a better life before god and men.

2) Time has proved different ethnicities, cultures, politics,religions, castes and sects can co-exist in a country and can be prosperous than any other singular society.

3) It is time for all groups to come together leave violent modes of protest including terrorism, come to an understanding in all possible areas that is having unresolved issues.

do you think there is hope for non violence in this world? if you do, please pray, ask your friends and family to pray so that people will leave violence and increase in love for fellow human beings.

Yes you can pray for them, the bible tells you to pray for your enemies. He wants all to come to an accurate knowledge of him and be saved. But, the bible says not to cast your pearls before swine, meaning that if it is out right rejected then you are not doing a positive thing and maybe it is time to move on. You don't have to totally give up just don't spin your wheels so to speak because there is always hope for all of us and God reads hearts; he will know if there is anything there to work with. YES, there is hope for a non violent world but that is in God's hands. The bible tells us that one day there will be no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow. That is a guarantee from God as well as the statement that the meek will inherit the earth. One day he will bring an end to all the injustice in the world. Imperfect man would have a hard time correcting this problem. We can only pray for endurance, guidance and each other until that time comes.

Answer 3

I do pray for the Terrorists. But the problem in your request lies in the fact that the God of the Bible calls for mankind to love one another unconditionally, whereas the 'God' of the Koran calls for Muslims to love each other, but force everyone else to become Muslim at the risk of enslavement or death, or some don't even acknowledge God as being the good guy, but rather the villian (Gnostics). [Just using examples, I could go on and on, but would rather not]

There is one God. But calling for all people to pray to God for the cessation of violence isn't going to work, when there are those who believe their salvation is dependant upon said violence, or believe that it is their 'God' who caused the violence in the first place.

Then there's the problem of generational teaching. If, given enough time, for a concept to be taught, it will continue to be taught from generation to generation, no matter how much reform is done. Unless you get EVERYONE in a given nation to give up violence-as-a-problem-solver at a single instant, or otherwise oppressively ostracize said violencemongers, you aren't going to get results as there'll still be those teaching the younger generation their old ways. (A poor and unrelated example, but consider the 'reeducation' of Native Americans in the 1800's. Despite the Euro-Americans' best efforts, the Native American beliefs, rituals, and language still exists today, because there were a few who kept the knowledge passing on)

There is no hope for a world without violence, save for the brief 3-and-a-half years when the Antichrist arises and violence (except against Jews and Christians) will cease.

Answer 4

Are you attempting to invoke the concept maximum folk opinion would desire to be suitable suited? as quickly as upon a time, maximum folk believed the earth became flat. became maximum folk precise then? As on your question, have self assurance in god began as the thank you to describe issues. As we are getting hard, chilly information, we are on account that each and every little thing runs alongside merely nice with organic strategies. If god existed and had to be chanced on, there'd be clean info that an intelligence became at artwork. you opt to have self assurance in god so which you interpret events to objective to instruct your element extremely of finding on the events to verify if there are different recommendations. If no different recommendations then the life of god ought to be an decision. yet there is no longer.

Answer 5

Although I do not believe in God, I do fervantly wish that
all Muslims would quickly come to an untimely end...
I guess that is kind of like a prayer...
Muslims have become the modern day version of the Nazi's...

Answer 6

So god can stop the terror but is just waiting for the right number of prayers to do something about it? How many is enough? 100? 200?

Answer 7

I pray that the reason for terrorists' ire quickly dissipates so they can safely return home to their families and friends.

Let me just add that it is not the "terrorist" who causes war, it is the powermongers who feel it is fine to kill a few thousand innocents as long as there is a profit to be made. they are the true enemy of peace.

Answer 8

Can't we just pray for them to die instead?

- god helps those who help themselves.
