Blaine says that 'God gives direction to all liberally who ask in faith'. I asked you/DH whether or not the 'subjective' bottom line was James 1. Are you herein simply offering a resounding 'yes' to that query? Would this invariably be your fallback position?

Blaine:  Pardon the interuption, but the emphasis is on FAITH.  Faith is a gift from God, and reflects his will in any matter.  We can pray, and ask, but no guarantee that an answer will be forthcoming, unless our prayers are offered up in FAITH.  As with ALL the gifts of the spirit, FAITH is the reward of faithfulness to God's commandments.  He sheds his light on those who love him and seek to do his will.  He redeems only his friends, not his enemies.   Although all will be resurrected, some will be resurrected to a resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29:  Marvel not at this:  for the hour is coming, in the which ALL that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.").  This means  the inheritance of those who have not repented of their sins will be of lesser quality than that of the righteous, who kept the faith by keeping his commandments.
