Perhaps because they didn't ask to be prayed for. It's like a slap in the face by holier than thou Christians. They believe in God and don't go around wearing bombs on their belts so leave them alone.
How is a prayer that threatening to someone?
Even the ones who do wear bombs around their belts get prayed for on Good Friday, by the way; it’s not only Jews who get prayers. What’s wrong with being prayed for?
You sound upset. I'm going to pray for you.
“Perhaps because they didn’t ask to be prayed for. It’s like a slap in the face by holier than thou Christians.”
Jesus said (Not a bunch of holier than thou Christians) that “NO MAN comes to the Father but by me.”
The Bible is clear that ONLY through Christ does one attain heaven...and it is clear that the ONLY “holy” any man can attain is the holiness of CHRIST in him.
So, they ARE holier than THOU....and secondly, if Chritians KNOW that the only way any man can attain heaven is through Christ, what kind of Christian’s would they be if they did NOT pray for ALL the lost? In fact, Christ commanded that the Gospel be preached to the “JEW first, then to the Gentile.”
Please think this through again, because praying for another person's well-being and redemption is in no way an insult. A blessing is not a slap in the face. We pray for everyone: for every single soul, both of the past and the present, both for the living and the dead.
It would be a real insult and, in fact, an outrage, to pray for the salvstion of the whole world "except for the Jews." And no, I would not be insulted if a person of another faith prayed for me to be purified of my sins and to gain eternal happiness. I hope to God that others are praying for me.
I ask you, if you are a praying person, to pray for me.
Oh no! They’re praying for me! Somebody call a waaaambulance!
I am praying for the salvation of your soul.
