When I said it, that was a reference about the discussion on this thread and not prayer. As thousands of ministers prove every day, leading a nondemoninational prayer is not a dilution of Christianity. That's all.

}As thousands (THOUSANDS ???) of ministers (???) prove every day, leading a nondemoninational prayer is not a dilution of Christianity.

That is merely your concocted "evidence", not proof of what you assert.

But don't give up too easily. Check the Yellow Pages for an ad that reads something like "Prayers customized to suit your fancy. We will pray to a rock, a rooster, the sun or a cockatoo. Since we stand for nothing, nothing offends us. You can sure we will not offend anyone, except those who do".

If it is nondenominational then who are they praying to? And what is the point if they are praying to some ambiguous god? It is just a mere formality with no meaning. Why not have everybody rub a rabbit foot for luck. Why should the Christian have to ignore Jesus in his prayer? Does not the Christian have to obey God in not praying to false gods or idols.

So when the Christian prays he is to ignore his LORD Christ were He says "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. " and "I tell you truth, My Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." Is the Christian also to ignore Paul when he says "And whatever you do whether in WORD or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." A Christian has a personal relationship with Christ his savior and when offering up prayer it is always in Jesus' name. God bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son Jesus to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins.
