it is much more than just public prayers- and no- you are mistaken- God’s admonition isn’t just for private prayers- the apostles all prayed in public- the admonition was against falsely praying in public as the false ‘religious leaders’ did- to be seen and held in high esteeme was their only goals- Early ‘church services’ were not held in buildings for htem ost part but in public- I think you need a better founding in the bible sir
“...and no- you are mistaken...the admonition was against falsely praying in public as the false ‘religious leaders’ did...I think you need a better founding in the bible sir.”
I appreciate that I could know more about the Bible, but it could hardly be more clearly stated:
Gospel of Matthew chapter 6, verses 5-6,:
“When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
