Oh really? Wherabouts in Europe do you live?Im trying to figure out how to change that. I don’t where it got Anaheim from although I lived near there for many years. i live in Europe.
When did you decide that thems who don't asks don't receive? The Lord came into my life without my asking him to.He loves all those in hell too. Jesus loved the rich young ruler too. He was answering a question from the young man. He wasn’t showing him the way otherwise. Those who ask receive. If we don’t ask, He doesn’t show us the way although He loves us. Loving us doesn’t change his standards. Thems that asks is thems that get answers.
The fact of the matter is, when I sin, I bring trouble into my life. Therefore, Jesus taught (you and) me not to sin (Matthew 4:17). I can’t figure out why so many Christians resist the idea that we should repent of our sin.
When I read the words if Jesus, “ask and you shall receive.”When did you decide that thems who don't asks don't receive? The Lord came into my life without my asking him to.
And where does it say, "Don't ask and don't receive"?When I read the words if Jesus, “ask and you shall receive.”
The Bible is the authority. Your experience is not. Besides that, your theology of your happiness is above all doesn’t sound very convincing.
God doesn’t command us not to ask.And where does it say, "Don't ask and don't receive"?
"Ask and you shall receive” is a statement of fact, not a command.God doesn’t command us not to ask.
You asked where God says “don’t ask” and I said He doesn’t command not to ask."Ask and you shall receive” is a statement of fact, not a command.
But he can give us things whether we ask for them or not. He must do that all the time. Look at all that you have. How much of it did you specifically ask for?You asked where God says “don’t ask” and I said He doesn’t command not to ask.
Things? yes. Answers to why he does what he does? no. Food and clothes? yes. Wisdom and insight? noBut he can give us things whether we ask for them or not. He must do that all the time. Look at all that you have. How much of it did you specifically ask for?
Actually it isn’t. He not a machine."Ask and you shall receive” is a statement of fact, not a command.
How did you determine that?Things? yes. Answers to why he does what he does? no. Food and clothes? yes. Wisdom and insight? no
I know he's not a machine - I don't see the connection. "Ask and you shall receive" is simple a statement of fact.Actually it isn’t. He not a machine.

It's like when Jesus said their sins were forgiven. He was stating a fact - he knew the Father in heaven had forgiven them their sins.I know he's not a machine - I don't see the connection. "Ask and you shall receive" is simple a statement of fact.
Which time and where do you get that? When did Jesus "announce" some had their sins forgiven. Hope you are not talking about on the cross. Those guys were punished in 70 Ad for crucifying the Son of God. They were not forgiven. But for Jesus' part, he forgave them. That is also how we are to do. We forgive and leave justice to God.It's like when Jesus said their sins were forgiven. He was stating a fact - he knew the Father in heaven had forgiven them their sins.
"He rains (goodness) upon the just and the unjust."How did you determine that?
Only for a machine. For people, there are other factors. All the christians I know say that not every prayer they prayed was answered in granting their request. I do not know of any honest ones who say everything they asked for they got without fail.I know he's not a machine - I don't see the connection. "Ask and you shall receive" is simple a statement of fact.
