God answers prayers?

Question

The entire idea that "God answers prayers" is it an illusion created by human imagination?

lol I'm so going to hell! hahahaha.

amu_abdallaah: I had to respond to this one.
Let’s start with your first paragraph.
Yeah, He didn’t think there was a god either.
So he decided to be one.
From what I remember this is very common for the Egyptian people.
They have living Gods all the time, it’s nothing new.
Second paragraph
They are describing man kind’s circle of life …. So?
There’s no hidden meaning here.

This made me laugh “Prayer: The Ascension for a Believer”
Ok so the power of pray doesn’t work… Think about it.
These people pray FIVE times a day and they live in hell.
They ask for what they need “The angel Jibreel u came to him and a spring of water gushed out of the rocks in front of them.”
Was it God or just a story to give them hope?
If anything these people should stop praying.
God has forsaken these people to the extreme.

Answer 1

Yeah, pretty much.

Answer 2

Bob isn't purely stunning yet Bob's answer is totally consistent with the present thinking in quantum mechanics that the mere assertion modifications the end results of specific experiments. between the biggest problems with data is that maximum folk of people who use them don't have a clue approximately data. you assert "we" have finished statistical testing. in case you have been in contact as your use of the term "we" exhibits the place are your effects? on account which you haven't any longer written your effects in the way a statistician could i'm suggesting you're employing the term "we" to advise individuals of the human race of which you additionally are a member, or possibly you're employing "we" to advise you're making a huge distinction between people who have faith in a prayer answering God and people who do no longer and additionally you're which contain your self in the latter group. the two way, you're making mere assertions which at the instant are not supported via real data. Your so-noted as test is comparable to a documentary I as quickly as observed the place countless non secular people have been praying for specific terminally sick people. This replace right into a television stunt that had no scientific magnitude i'm afraid. For an test to be scientifically valid you may desire to have the potential to regulate all your variables and this replace into no longer something like a controlled ecosystem.

Answer 3

God answers prayers and it is not an illussion. If you do not work for what you are praying for then it will be an illussion. Your prayer is not asking for a fruit to drop down to your mouth while you are lying down lazily under the tree. You still need to stand up or take a tool or ladder to reach the fruit. Prayer is not asking God to hand to you what you need but just asking for wisdom to keep your mind working for a better way and knowledge to achieve your goal. He does not give you a diploma to make you a doctor but he guides your mind to it to become a doctor.

Answer 4

So you are saying that when my knee was knocked out of place playing football, and we prayed for God to put it back, and when it moved back into place without anyone touching it. You are saying prayer does not work, what was that just science at work?? HA HA You certainly are funny, because I know you were not serious about that question.

Answer 5

When you are sick and you pray, who heals you?

When you are in need you pray and "coincidentally" just what you needed is brought to you, who made that happen?

When all money has run out you pray and "coincidentally" someway you receive a bonus from work.

Now the doctors might have helped, but who helped them?
Your need is met maybe because of someone else bringing that needed thing to you, but who put that on their hearts?
Your boss doesn't usually give out bonuses, so why did he at that time and moment to YOU.

See people do the work of the Lord because their God impresses something on their hearts. Miracles happen not by chance or coincidence but by the great conductor, the one orchestrating it all.

Illusion, I think not, conclusion . . . . yes to my prayer.

Answer 6

God does answers prayers and it is not an illusion created by humans

Answer 7

God answers each and every prayer... only we need to know the correct way to pray-


Before praying we need to understand the meaning of the word Prayer. What does praying mean in every Religion... are Prayers different for different Religions. Is that for one a Prayer has one meaning and different for the other?

Praying to God, the Almighty Creator carries equal meaning for all. God never differentiates! In praying we ask of God for something. Even if we do not seek material benefits for self we may ask for the welfare of others. We may not ask God something for us but for the benefit of others. Still, it is necessary that our Prayers get answered in order to help one.


No one knows where lives God. None has ever seen him. Even the representative of Jesus Christ on Mother Earth... the reverend John Pope Paul can also not vouch having seen God at any stage of life. Nor can any bishop or father or a priest! God is always hidden from Mankind... he cannot be seen but always felt! He exists everywhere. In the eyes of God all are equal... he never differentiates between a king and a commoner.

How is it that one is a king and the other a laborer? It is only our thinking which makes one a king or a laborer. and while saying our Prayers it is only our thinking that affects the results of our Prayers. If we merely wish anything most likely our Prayers shall remain unanswered. We need to perform our Karma ((the sum total of all deeds performed by us) in daily life in a way that our wishes get fulfilled. Only when we perform the right Karma and also pray to God in right earnestness... they get answered!


It is not something God has bestowed upon us... we have rightly earned it by performing the right pious Karma. Most people in their Prayers wish for something that does not correspond to their Karma. We cannot expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree! What we get resultant of our Prayers will be in full conformity to our actions performed.


In Prayers we simply ask God for something... but we must also offer God something equivalent in return. If we need money then we must commit to God for doing some charitable work for the community where we live. Only then God hears our Prayers. Prayers are never a one-way communication. God never commits to us anything that we do not deserve. We get paid according to our Karma. If we perform a sin then hoping for a miracle in Prayers is something we call wishful thinking.

I am producing a small quote from my younger daughter that shall examine the mode of praying. More on prayer here- http://www.vijaykumar.com/does_god_answer_prayer.html

Answer 8

I hold the position that God answers all prayers, it is just that sometimes to answer is "no" or "not yet". Since I hold the position that God knows all, including what is the best for me in an eternal sense, I can trust that sometimes a "no" answer is best.

Answer 9

If you don't believe God answers prayers why would you mock those who do? Do a character check...

Answer 10

Well I know he has answered mine, but He doesn't answer ignorant peoples prayers. When you are in Hell, God won't even listen then.

Answer 11

Yes and No.
It is actually not the idea that God answers prayers but rather the idea that God is someone else.
