Somewhere, in this Blog, not so long ago, I expressed some thoughts about prayer and came to the conclusion that prayer is either "useless" or "unnecessary"..
Actually I think it is both!
In the New Testament, St.Mathew, Chapter 6, Verse 7, Jesus speaks about prayer and he is reported to have said this:
"But when you pray, use not vain repetition as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
Well, not so long ago I attended a funeral in a Roman Catholic Church and they prayed and they prayed.
You never heard such repetition. The same prayer verses were repeated over and over and over again.
So I had to come to the conclusion that all those who attended this church service either were Catholics who had never read the Bible (certainly not St. Mathew 6:7) or they were Heathen.
Do you agree with
