Seems pretty clear to me:
| Quote | | 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. |
Emphasis mine. Of course you could go to church for, erm, not-praying. |
Yes, that's what I was thinking. |
But that is only if you are one of the liberal commie christians who worship Jesus. All of these guys worship Paul don't they? |
They do.
Well... 50% Paul and 50% someone else (and no one knows who it is) who wrote the rest of "Paul's" letters.
... and they don't even know it.
Like I said, they have given their lives to something without understanding the least thing about it.
Taking children to church should be considered a form of mental and emotional abuse. Children are too trusting. |
We should "teach the controversy" and let them make up their minds.
