Really?
Do you mean Jesus didn't really mean to teach that?
Who knew?
Luke 11:1-4 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
High five...
James 5:16
English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
from the Didache:
But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure.
confessing your sins to God is a protestant twisting of Scripture
dear metmom
BTW He did not say “daily bread”
He said “epi-ousios bread” which does not mean “daily”
see what Strong’s says:
epioúsios (from 1909 /epí, “upon, fitting” and 3776 /ousía, “being, substance”)

And we have this as well:
Luke 18:10-14 KJV
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
get to the part where it says for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory.......oh that's right, it doesn't say that...
