Hi Walkingfeather. I'm not advocating any means of prayer, just recognizing that different cultures pray differently. I know a few Christians who meditate and they are not thinking about Buddha. If you tell the world they must adopt a Hebrew culture that is alien to them to be a Christian, not many people would come to Christ. Europeans adopted Christianity en masse, and it is quite a different form than early Hebrew Christianity. For instance, we integrated many Pagan customs and holidays into the religion, but no one is suggesting (except Jehovah's Witnesses) that we are sinning by doing this.
To each his own, as long as the sole focus is on Christ and the Father. I have no problem with someone calling prayer meditation or sitting in a weird position (yoga) while praying.
