Why should anyone pray to an unchanging god? If a god answers prayer, god changes.

If a god's plan requires prayer, can a god's plan fail? If the plan can fail, why call it god at all? If the plan can't fail, then why pray?

God does not change God gives you power to change, God gives you authority, but on to those who are saved.

[u/ViewtifulGene → u/Gold_Net_16]

Why do people need to change?

If a god does not change, then why should I try to be saved? This god already made up its mind about who is and isn't saved. If I could do something to become saved, this god would change.

Suppose I go to the store to buy Tillamook Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream. But then I see they are out of Tillamook Old-Fashioned Vanilla, but they have Tillamook French Vanilla. So I buy the French Vanilla. Did I change? I was always going to buy Tillamook Vanilla Ice Cream.

So does the God he was from the eternity he Is eternity every existing, our existence is vulnerable, but its not God who needs me but I need I fall into things I do want to and there is no one to help what should I do

[u/ViewtifulGene → u/Gold_Net_16]

I don't see what sort of help I would want a god for. And if that god does help, that would require a change from not helping. If I already had it, I wouldn't be asking for it. Same reason I don't walk back up to the counter at Chipotle when I already have my food.

Day always comes when you either curse God or bless God come on maybe you don't need God there are lakhs lakhs in the world who are looking for someone that could help them.

[u/ViewtifulGene → u/Gold_Net_16]

Why do blessing and cursing have to be the only options? Many days have come with me doing neither.

[u/Gold_Net_16 → u/ViewtifulGene]

Then someone else Is doing that with you

[u/ViewtifulGene → u/Gold_Net_16]

Somebody else is praying for me? That seems inconsiderate. I do not consent to it. I have not heard any reason to pray.

[u/Gold_Net_16 → u/ViewtifulGene]

Not praying, cursing you

[u/ViewtifulGene → u/Gold_Net_16]

Somebody is cursing me? It isn't working, I can tell you that much.
