” Are you telling us that the Lord’s Prayer is pagan babbling?”

Can’t you see the repetition in 50 “Hail Marys” and Five “Our Fathers”?

He heard you the first time. Put away the Babylonian (in origin) prayer beads and learn real Christianity.

Yeah, I figure one Our Father per person, per life, is enough.

But then, what could St. Paul have meant when he told us to “pray without ceasing”?

Fascinating. So St. Paul is wrong? 1 Thess 5:

12
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you,
13
and to show esteem for them with special love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
14
We urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, cheer the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with all.
15
See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good (both) for each other and for all.
16
Rejoice always.
17
Pray without ceasing.

Hmm. Pray without ceasing. Babbling. I value the words of Paul over the entity known as RoadTest.

What does Jesus do? Luke 5:
14
Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; 4 that will be proof for them.”
15
The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments,
16
but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.

Real Christianity? How would you describe it?
