Bible Note: Thanks for your helpful response. I have replied to another member. There are many Christians of wisdom, faith and a close Christian walk with God who have unanswered prayer and further on in the James passage you quote there is a promise without caviats. Colin Uquart does say that unanswered prayer is a lack of faith. My initial verse states unambiguously "anything you ask". I have always answered this in the same way as you have but to unbelievers and Christians alike the Bible is non negotiable and we cannot add our own interpretations. I agree with your comments but I struggle to find our interpretation in scripture as many requests are made by people who know God's will, know the Bible and are people of faith. I am praying for the right answers!!! Every blessing Ian |
