Don't give up so easily. I don't think the Lord ever gives up. The Lord knows what to do to turn a person around. His ways can be harsh, but they are for our own good.

Is it wrong to walk with the Lord? Is it wrong to pray constantly, as Paul taught us?

How can two walk together except they be agreed? Amos 3:3

God heareth not sinners.

To walk with Christ one must walk in the light.

You have religion but you are not in accord with the word of God.

I think the Lord loves us and enjoys it when we pray to him.

I know you fail to read the bible enough.

Joh 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

The first prayer God hears is the prayer for salvation.

For the cause of Christ

That's right. The sinner knows this. It's that one thing that the Holy Spirit keeps bringing up in the mind of the one living in rebellion (Is. 63:10). You come to God on his terms or you don't come at all (Mk 1:4).

It would also make Jesus either a liar or deceived when he said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6.

Really? Maybe it isn't Jesus who is the liar or deceived since it is written that Jesus said in John 6:44 that "no man can come to him, except the Father which hath sent me draw him"
So if no man can come to the Father except through Jesus and no man come to Jesus except by the Father then it seems to be one of those 12 hours day written about in John 11:9-10

9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

You remember the great and first commandment is to love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and souls. Does that suggest to you that he desires to have personal relationships with us?

Neither you nor I know what happens on a person's deathbed. A person who refuses to repent of their sin throughout all eternity will spend eternity in hell. Who's going to do that?

It's possible not probable. Jesus didn't come to make men good. He came to make dead men alive (Eph 2:1).

"Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72." ~ Mark Twain

​Most of mankind because their hearts are wicked continually. My f-i-l didn't want a pastor to come over on his deathbed. I believe in people getting saved at the last minute, but most won't. The scriptures tell us that.

With all due respect I don't think that accepting Jesus is the last thing going thru a suicide bomber's mind as he kills his victims.

I suspect a lot of people are still wresting with adultery. Remember how Jesus told us not to look lustfully at people?

Sexual sinners go into the Great Tribulation (Rev. 2:18–24). If they've rejected the gospel prior to the rapture they will be sent a strong delusion to believe the lie (2 Thess 2:11).
