Don't pray in church - its against Christ's orders. |
Dear All,
I hope this finds you all well and in good spirit.
How many people have noticed, that in the Bible, in Matthew 6:5-6, when
Christ instructed His followers (including the 12 disciples) on how to
pray, He specifically instructed them NOT to attend church and NOT to
pray in churches, please?
King of kings' Bible, Matthew (see www.truth.fi/kofkad.htm)
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]:
for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of
the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward.
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU
HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (Enoch 56:5; Sura
7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
But that is not what the preacher/pastor/teacher/priest/TV evangelist/
etc. tells you, is it? But note what Christ-Jesus had to say about
them, also in Matthew:
King of kings' Bible, Matthew (see www.truth.fi/kofkad.htm)
15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch (or Pit).
Anyone who calls himself (or herself) a priest (or pastor or teacher
etc.) is not a follower of Christ-Jesus, because they disobey Him.
King of kings' Bible, Matthew (see www.truth.fi/kofkad.htm)
23:8 But be not ye called priest (etc.): for One is your Teacher,
[even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.
23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even]
Christ.
I mean, honestly.. how can we expect God to answer us if we don't obey
His instructions on how to talk to Him?
Long live all fighters for Good & Truth,
Jacques

"That they may be seen by men" If such is not the motive, Jesus wasn't
talking about them.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU
HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (Enoch 56:5; Sura
7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Depends on the preacher/pastor/teacher/priest/TV evangelist/ etc. Some do,
some don't.

I believe all religious books have been corrupted by individual
interpretation. Certainly the King James which this sight seems to
promote as being the true version. Wasn' t this part of what the
puritans were fighting against?
About prayer, I don't think it was so much against praying in church in
as much as making a public display of it. It is like 'Look at me
praying, I am so holy.' Outward appearance but not actually of the
heart.
