I am rather curious.?

John 9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens. That would mean that he isnt listening to anyone since everyone is a sinner. I always thought the sinners were the ones God was waiting to hear from.

Update:

ok now go to Matthew 9:12 "those how are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 9:13 Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners.

    Yeah, God also loves everyone, and forgives everyone, so why is there a HELL? The Bible is just a bunch of people that got together to write a fairytale book, to somehow instill morals into people. Since people were so ignorant back then, they believed everything, and never questioned anything. Somehow, that book doesn't seem to make much sense to the more sophisticated and intellectual minds of today.

    God doesnt listen to sinners in the essence of, he knows what in your heart while you are talking to him and if it it bs then he will turn his ear away. like saying hey god please let me win the lotto so I get buy those new shoes I promise I will give to charity. or let me do this one more time and I promise I will stop. its the nature of the prayer not the person. God listens to all sincerity

    There are 6bn people on earth. So God can listen to everyone right? If it makes you feel good, just keep praying.

    Who gets rewarded- a child who tries to obey or a child who couldn't care less?

    If you obey your Father, or try to, He will listen and consider.

    true true

    the bible is a mystery and unless, for some strange reason, god writes you a note, emails you, or calls you, you will never know what he means.

    Agreed, and it's funny how certain people like to twist and manipulate phrases in the bible to meet their personal agenda.
