Personally,I believe it's best to leave the destruction of the wicked to the Almighty. I'm of the opinion that any prayers offered should be that they find Jesus before departing this life and finding themselves in Hell for eternity.That would seem to be more Christ like than praying for their demise.My 02Â “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

Amen. Romans 15:14-21

Is it absurd to pray like He taught us to pray?

Quiet Wyatt, I think most of us share your desire to change the Supreme Court, etc.But surely there can be no greater evil or wickedness than for a city to not want Jesus to enter. Yet when the disciples asked whether Jesus would like them to call down fire from heaven...well, you know.Also, surely no one could be more wicked than those who wanted Jesus crucified. Yet He prayed for the Father to forgive them. THEY might have thought they knew what they were doing. But I doubt that anyone (outside of Satan) would have WANTED to crucify Jesus if they had really understood that He was the Son of God. It MIGHT be that despite RBG's immoral approach to certain moral/legal issues, she is doing it without full appreciation of just what she is doing.

You have not because you ask not?Are we not allowed to ask for specific things, are we to only ask for God's will

He 'fixes' things many times with out 'WRATH or DEATH'. I am sure most of us have seen situations changed in ways we never considered. I had a grandchild in an abusive situation, I prayed. I felt like using a firearm, but prayed instead. HE fixed it. YES HIS will, but if we have an opinion, we can pray, He can ignore or let us see a smile when he fixes it.Also I think many of the things I think of are OT examples, under the law. Some of the logic applies some doesn't.But I am enjoying the points, I like the OP! Tis a thinker! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Can I ask for a new wife? 😂

Can I ask for a new wife? 😂The fact is, I don’t understand prayer anyway. We pray for our country. Ok, what did that do? Does God wait until He has a certain number of prayers? Does He only answer one person’s prayer? Or, is He just going to do His will regardless? Prayer is a mystery.

I am only one voice among billions. I obviously don’t always get exactly what I would prefer when I pray, but that doesn’t mean my prayer or your prayer is therefore totally inconsequential. The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness. 17Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months! 18Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest. James 5:16

In 1 Cor 5, Paul rebukes the church for allowing a man who calls himself a brother but is sinning greatly to remain part of the Body. He goes so far to pray that this man would be stricken greatly in his flesh with the ultimate goal for him to repent and be reconciled to Christ. Paul also acknowledges that while we cannot judge those outside the body we can, we should judge sin in the body as we will one day judge fallen angels. My take is that pray RBG be saved and her eyes opened to the truth, but in the meantime or if that is not going to happen we can pray for her removal in whatever manner God might do it.1 Cor. 51 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, note4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: note8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. note9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
