I know that Protestants look at the use of the word "pray" differently. For most of them I think it's because their thinking about the Incarnation and the new order wrought by Christ's sacrifice is deficient. I have friends. Some have died, others haven't. I am in communion with them, many members of one body, not a single part of which is 'dead'..
You know when, and if, the people you have summoned participate I will have to leave. Some of them are vicious liars filled with hatred and slander. But even if that were not so, I can't possibly address all the topics and arguments they will raise.
It makes me think this is not a discussion but a rumble pretending to be a discussion.
Naw.
Not my perspective nor intent.
I tend to be a more the merrier sort of fellow to the extreme many times.
I don’t really expect most of them to chime in. If they do, I think it makes it more interesting. Sometimes more enlightening.
I happen to love folks who are at extreme odds with one another. What else is new. Makes having a party with all of them very challenging.
I’d say . . . scroll on by folks you have such antipathy towards. Why bother about them?
