Further ... If Jesus promises many times to answer prayer yet fails most of the time are his promises reliable? Is God under his own law/Word? You see in the book of James in the Bible it says "He who Knows the good he sould do yet doesn't do it to him it is considered sin" ... Yet what about the responsiblity of protection, answering prayer, ending pain to the oppressed and afflicted? He see all these evils on mankind and many prayers to him yet he does nothing ... Is this not sin for God?
