God's Rules
Catholics already know but Protestants insist on believing that they can talk to God.
Catholics make intersections with saints and angels, so that they can bring their prayers to God.
Going through the entire Old Testament, which deals with the Jewish religion from Abraham onwards, one does not see any case where a mere mortal can converse with God whenever he wishes.
On the contrary, There is a protocol with David, Moses, Abraham, Adam, Cain all of these were summoned to the presence of God and not the opposite, God is not subject to the summons, it would be like a subject entering Buckingham Palace and asking to talk to Queen Elizabeth II, let alone ask them for a favor.
Evangelicals have managed to trivialize to the point that direct prayers dare to ask God to invert the natural laws he has established for the universe, ask to stop the rain or stop the sun, ask for a stone to disobey the law of gravity and save a shack on the way to the fatal descent of the hill, they ask not to drown in the storm of the sea.
Let's put things in perspective. Would God make the universe to monitor if a black hole would devour a star and interfere so that the laws he created were violated; on the other hand the laws were created so that God did not need to monitor the universe to prevent or to provoke events at his pleasure just for fun.
God created the laws to be respected and he set the example of not violating the laws to meet whatever the most catastrophic event is, because if we always intervene the laws would be useless, that's what the laws are for and our obligation is to know and recognize our limits .
God does nothing because he cannot violate the laws by exercising his enormous power in a discretionary way, it would be a distortion that would affect the entire universe in the timeline, a small event triggers a chain of other events and so natural laws would follow the course of a unnatural event, this is chaos theory.
Do not ask or expect anything from God that violates natural laws, as this would be a great danger to the entire balance of the universe in time, altering the balance of the universe in time, altering the future and causing inexorable and irremediable disturbances.
God cannot answer prayers because he cannot alter the consequences of natural events that would affect in a succession of other events for good or ill thousands of people who are far removed from the small altered event who expect natural laws to be respected for all. world.
