If someone wants to pray with me, I will pray with him.

I would hope you wouldn't be praying to Jesus while he is praying to Shiva, Allah, or Satan.

Remember "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"?

The apostles and ancient church fathers weren't ecumenical. They preached and taught and died for the belief that Jesus was the Way, the Truth and the Light and that no man would come to the Father but by Him.

I've never had a reason to think that you were unorthodox because this isn't about doctrinal differences between Rome and us "schismatic" types. But there are certain things no Christian can do. For goodness' sake, we're forbidden even to bid godspeed to a Christian we believe to be of unsound doctrine. Dr. Eckelburg is right: there's a reason why the First Commandment came first in the list of commandments. The Father is a jealous and angry god. He demands that we hold allegiance only to Him.

He demands that we hold allegiance only to Him.

And I do. But my Church teaches that men can be led to God by ways known only to Him. If your faith is weakened by praying with Jews or other non-Christians, then you shouldn't do it.

Huh? I don't think that verse made it into my Bible. Where is it in yours?

(And don't even get me started on who set whom up as a judge of another's "unsound doctrine" ...)

sink you are very generous with your willingness to have Protestants pray with the heathans ...I have asked you before and you have not answered ...are you willing to open communion to them? To the dr or GWB or me?

Your silence indicates that you do have a place where you draw the line..so do we!
