Question Author

I'm not on about anything. People ask questions if they don't know.

Earlier this morning I was listening to a program and someone said this. I'm just asking a question and hoped someone knowledgeable would understand it and give an answer. Why are you being so snobby?

boxtops

no, only if whoever you are praying to grants your requests

woofgang

I just don't understand your question...you said that someone who prays and believes in god would understand, well as I said, I do both and I do not understand what you mean.

Old_Geezer

Then no, you answer is it doesn't.

Society I agree with you - none of the answers have told you diddly squat.
You may have heard this on thought for the Day. My view is necessarily Roman Catholic - Salvation comes from faith and good works, and one is not sufficient.

The reformed religions (Anglican and so on) argue incessantly about whether faith is enough - and faith and praying sort of go together. This argument has been around so long that it even goes by a Latin tag - sola fide (by faith alone) that is salvation by faith alone.

so having said that:
try : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvation

and then: for a light dessert course try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminian_controversy

Archbishop Laud in the 1640s (here) was suspected of being an Arminian heretic so it worth ploughing through it.

and good luck !
