The verse you use to "prove" God does not hear sinners is John 9:31. It is not God’s view on the topic. Rather, it is John the Apostle, quoting the man who was born blind and reveals this new convert’s imperfect understanding of prayer.
For a Jew, the belief that God does not hear sinner’s prayers indicated the Jewish belief that the nation of Israel was God’s chosen people, while the Gentiles - "sinners" in the context, were not God’s chosen people and therefore, God did not hear THEIR prayers...
Would you be so kind as to give me a verse in the Bible that says the sin of Sodom was homosexuality? If that is the teaching of scripture, surely you can come up with verses which SAY that, can’t you?
