Why Not Pray About Sin Leading To Death?

"If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that."             (1 John 5:16)

"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; FOR THIS IS THE WITNESS OF GOD WHICH HE HAS TESTIFIED OF HIS SON. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us (John, Peter, Paul, James etc.), and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,  AND THAT YOU MAY CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD. Now this is the confidence that we (J,P,P,J etc.) have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."  (1 John 5:9-15) 

"We know that whoever is born (made by) God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. We (J,P,P,J etc.) know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." (1 John 5:18-21)

"But may the God of all grace, who called us  (J,P,P,J etc.) to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle YOU. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that THIS IS THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD IN WHICH YOU STAND. (1 Peter 5:10-13)

So, why not pray for a brother whose sin is leading to death? Because that one has transgressed "the true grace of God" in which believers must stand. They are failing to turn toward His commandments. These must understand why there is a vacancy of "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man (which) avails much"(James 5:16). Here, "judgement begin (s) at the house of God". When the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"(1 Peter 4:17,18)

You "make Him a liar" to the ungodly and the sinner when you WON'T keep His grace, His commandments, His words!

He Himself Is Our Peace

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to CREATE IN HIMSELF one new man from the two, THUS MAKING PEACE, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father." (Ephesians 2:13-18)

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. NOW the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who MAKE PEACE." (James 3:17,18) We NOW make peace as His body through His words from the Father; His commandments (not ordinances) from the Father; the sufficiency of His grace from the Father.

"To me (Paul), who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, ACCORDING TO THE ETERNAL PURPOSE WHICH HE ACCOMPLISHED IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory." (Ephesians 3:8-13)

Through the message of the cross of Jesus Christ, Him crucified and risen, Paul was living "the fellowship of the mystery" so "the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church". An apostle of Jesus Christ, he was becoming a fellow servant and of the brethren who have the testimony of Jesus! (Rev. 19:10)
