Oh really?Originally posted by Icemoon:The threadstarter is not against arguing over denominational and theological issues. He just finds it meaningless and mundane.
How about I use steam roller and crush you and call it a massage?
How about the peeping tom who merely said he is observing?
Anyway, most people forgot what are some of the preconditions for prayers - sincerity, conviction and faith.
I hope that when Christians pray, besides asking for divine intervention in everyday matters, would also ask God to let them know what sinful acts they has done and what they could do to rectify it. -
And Amen to that!Originally posted by Icemoon:Please give me solomon's wisdom!
But hor i not God and as human as u are so cannot grant your wish u should go direct to him wahaha.....j/k -
I believe we should also use discernment when it comes to excersing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for eg. speaking in tongues.
My point is use it when it is deem appropriate.
Can u imagine wat the surrounding people in a MRT will tink if u start blabbering in a foreign gibberish language? We should not go to the extremes but strike a balance. -

I confess to Almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned through my own fault;
in my thoughts, in my words,
in what I have done and what I have failed to do.
And I ask Blessed Mary ever virgin, all the angels and saints,
and you my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Priest: May almighty God forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting.
People: Amen. -
To me prayer means spending time, talking to the person I love the most. Sometimes, I use formulated prayers, other times I just make up the words but most of the time I offer up all my feelings and thoughts.
