Firstly, I apologize: I meant to refer to #431.

Secondly, the issue is not your beliefs, unless sharing a meal with a non-believer in Christ is a violation of your faith.

Thridly, trere are thousands of chaplian, priest, ministers, and rabbies that routinely officiate at inter-religious ceremonies. No problem ever arises on Capitiol HIll when the Chaplain leads in a prayer there.

All these people are Christian, educated, and even ordained. None of them betrays Christianity.

It's not about one's beliefs: it's about tact and unity.

If it is not about belief then why pray at all? You have just reduced God to nothing more than a formality. Why not just ask guidance and blessing from the American Idol or Donny Osmond. It would make as much sense as what you are saying about prayer. Jesus is the way to the Father. Jesus' sacrifice was so all people could be forgiven of sin and be able to stand before GOD. Do you really think Jesus sacrificed his life so that we could pray in unity and with tact?

tact? No thanks, that is too PC for me! LOL I said it once, I will say it again, I believe what I believe because I have read and studied the Bible! I know exactly what it says!

With that said, for those two Jewish fellows to threaten to walk out, they are the ones that are soooooo wrong by doing so!!!!! I respect their beliefs! They do not believe in the Messiah....He has not come yet according to their beliefs,(but I don't threaten to walk out because they say Shalom!!!!!), however we as Christians do and for us to deny Christ is slapping the Holy Spirit in the face.......something I will never do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For PC reasons or under threat of death! I wish to go to Heaven, I can turn the other cheek at a personal insult, but not one to my Lord!
