Is Prayer Useful Or Effective? by Marfire: 12:30am On Nov 08, 2023 |
The idea that God is omniscient for me destroys the relevance for prayer. Philosophically it doesn't add up for me given he is considered the first cause he should be indeed aware of all the events that is going to happen even before it happen,our thoughts,feeling and actions at every given period of time. He is seemingly aware of every event that will eventually unfold and this for me negates the relevance for prayer as our supplication wouldn't make much of a difference in the mind of an all knowing being aware of the ramifications of all things. |

Marfire: Did your parents not know that you needed bags, sandals, pocket money, food, juice, rest etc yet you prayed them? As you have already seen God is not compelling you to pray. |

Prayer simply means a request of service Human were created with mind that have freewill So you must have a request for services from God, Devil, Angel or Diety before getting it Even in court of law you make prayer request to the judge 2 Likes 1 Share |

MS247: Yes for sure it is indeed a request my case is simply to show it's futility. It doesn't make a difference if one makes a request to an all knowing being who knows the outcome of events whether or not you pray. The outcome is predetermined by the definition of his omniscience. |

Marfire:What you keep expressing amounts to intellectual laziness, usually usually result of private fears and anxieties. |
