No where in the bible does it say that God answers all prayer. Why do Christions all bealive this fallacy. God only answers good prayer. Quit trying to put too much on God.

Sure, lots of times. I'll give you an example. It's an Italian tradition for Catholics that when they go into a church they haven't been in before, to ask for "3 wishes." I hadn't heard this before being in a new church with an Italian friend so I figured I'd give it a shot. I really didn't believe that God would go for 3 wishes, so I decided to "test" him. I don't remember what the first 2 were, but the last was to get my dad to stop drinking. He'd been drinking all my life at that point (I was in my late 20s) and 40 years give or take. He only drank beer, for those who think you can't be an alcoholic just drinking beer, and I never, ever in a million years figured this would happen since God would need my father's cooperation and that wasn't likely. Three years later (so it can take time), my father fainted from too much beer and not enough of lots of other things and his doctor told him if he took another drink, he'd die. He hasn't had one since, went cold turkey, and that was 1990. God reminded me of that wish or I wouldn't have remembered that either. Sure, non-believers won't think this is a miracle or an answered prayer, but to me, this is a miracle!

You are right about God not answering all prayers. God do not answer all prayers and nowhere in the bible that I know say that. God do not answer prayers from people like you that do not believe in him. Not because your in a big problem and you want god to help you now he is going to help you. You need to show God that you live by his will and you believe in him all the time whether you are going trough a good or bad time. And some people may say that God answer all prayers because God answer all prayers of those who believe in him, that is why you hear some Christians saying that. This is the fact that you may not be understanding.

Whether a prayer is good or not has littlle to do with it, either.
God promises to HEAR the prayers of all the faithful.
He makes much more specific promises of assistance to those who actively do his will and his work, in the world.

God hears all prayers, sometimes he chooses not to answer them because he knows all things and A. he knows what we really want and need & B. sometimes we ask when we already know the answer & C sometimes we ask for what we shouldn't be asking for and we know it, he still lets us have that sometimes to let us learn that we really don't want it because it won't make us happy,
and we are to thick to understand it until we get it and learn by personal experience. We would be better off just having enough faith to hear and listen to God but alas we are mortal human beings.

God answers all prayer, sometimes the answer is no, sometimes yes and sometimes wait.
You cannot ask God to do anything wicked or evil or harmful to another.

God answers prayers, but he answers them in his time not ours. He tells us to bring all of our problems good bad etc to him, he wants to know what is going on in our lives. Even though he already knows every step we make. I don't honestly believe we can ever but TOO MUCH on God. He is a loving caring God and is even concerned and wants non- believers to come to him. He loves someone that doesn't believe in him as much as someone that does. I serve a very loving and caring God and without talking and praying with him daily I don't know where I would be. Thank you Jesus for my salvation.

But he does answer all prays, yes or no. It's weather people pay attention to the answer or not.
Sometimes the answer that is recieved isn't the one that is wanted, and because we live in such a materialistic world, people always and only want the answer they want, be it yes or no.
bottom line he does answer all questions and prays, it's not a fallacy, and he doesn't just answer good prays, and God ask that we come to him in our time of need, he ask that we call him our savior. So he doesn't ask for what he can't take care of.

People think God should be at our disposal instead of the other way around. We are lucky to have such a loving God who only does what is best for us. Just because they don't get the answer THEY want doesn't mean God didn't answer them.
