Post 415 does nothing to support your position that I can see. Quit blithering about "post 415" and explain yourself.

No it won't do. Jesus said if you are ashamed of me before men, I will be ashamed of you before my Father. No name causes more of a stir than invoking the name of Jesus.

We will not let His name be stamped out or banned by any man.

I don't believe that these so-called leftist Jews represent the true Jewish religion, anymore than the so-called leftist Christian church represent the true Christian religion. These men didn't care one bit about any God, or prayer, this was a leftist political move.

Sounds more like the complaining state senators are in the wrong location.

[TopQuark]

Sorry, I meant to refer to post 431.

[TopQuark]

Oh boy that is too profound: care to elaborate on their position in time? Their spin? Magnetic moment?

Care to mention what the hell it has to do with my post?

[TopQuark]

They are probably leftist all right. WHy do you think they did not even say a word on gazillion of other occasions?

[mosby]

And what precisely are you being "compelled" to do? Listen to a Christian prayer? The horror, oh the horror!

[Delphinium]

I agreed with #431. To act any other way causes non-Christians and Jews to run away from Jesus even more. I believe in sharing the gospel, but God is the only one who can reveal that Jesus is the Lord.

"And now, in the name of Jesus, let us say Amen."

Which part of this Eglish sentence you do not understand?

I think your mind was made before you read anything.

HAve a good night.

It just seems that if the prayer had been given in God's name all would have been well, and all would have been content.

[CARepubGal]

Gee, that is how I feel towards the door to door religious salesmen. Imagine that.

These are people who stand against every Judeo-Christian principal there is in this nation. They are non-believers.

Thanks Dennis.

[TopQuark]

Thank you.

I believe in sharing the gospel,

Even that is understandable. WHen you say "sharing," I imagine us sitting together and conversing, wherein you tell me about New Testament, etc.

This is very different from someone in a position of unique authority leading in prayer in a work environment. It is really hard to call this "sharing."

Thank you again for your post. Have a good Easter holiday, if I do not see you before then.

And the word if GOD, not g-d, GOD, if you are going to reference the Christian deity, please use His name.

It's G-d to observant Jews.

You did a good job with your post. As a Jew I have sat through many of the same circmstances, inasmuchas I reject the whole concept of Political Correctness, I must say that I am not offended by what people pray and whether they invite me to join in. I even sing Christmas carols without losing my personal beliefs.

I have had christian friends invite me to conversion clinics, and to argue with me about the degree to which I am entitled to salvation. In doing this they have stepped over the line. A person should be free in his religious beliefs and his political beliefs. We all should be able to tollerate a little of someone else's belief in a public setting as long as it is not directly made personal.

The senators were wrong, and I agree with others here that they were likely liberal suckups to the ACLU.

Without Christ, the prayer goes nowhere.

So, for Christians who recite the Lord's Prayer, it goes nowhere? The Lord's Prayer does not have "Jesus" anywhere in it.
