The Bible give Christians one prayer and one prayer only. And they are directed ("pray thus") to pray in a closet with the doors shut, away from everyone. Yet Christians engage in public prayer, group prayers, and invent their own prayers.

The Apostle Paul 'invented' many of his own prayers...And recorded them in what Peter calls scripture...Paul ask the congregations to 'invent' their own prayers to pray for him...

Seems to be the example set for the church...

The 'Our Father' prayer was given to Jews...They were to pray for the Kingdom of Heaven to be established on earth....That is not the prayer of the church as can be seen by Paul's prayers...

Let's see, you've said before that the Nestorian heretics were right and that Christians shouldn't read the Gospels and now you are even saying that Christians should pray the Lord's Prayer.

What sect DO you belong to?

Posts like yours are PROOF that anti-Catholics aren't Christians, because if they were Christians they would be correcting you.

Another reason why we consider you guys not to be Christian. Our Father is not for Christians, eh? What about Our Mother - no, that would involve Mary. I know - Our second cousin twice removed on our mother's third husband's second stepmother's side? On alternate Thursdays...

He invented a whole lot of things.

And recorded them in what Peter calls scripture

Actually he calls them writings.

Paul ask the congregations to 'invent' their own prayers to pray for him...

But Jesus never ask anyone to rpay for anyone else, as far as I know. I guess Pual knew better. Seems to be the example set for the church...

Wow! Is this what your cohorts, Rn, Quix, Dr. Ec, presently no, gamecock, alex etc. believe too? That the prayers were invented by Paul with no inspiration from the Holy Spirit?

Wow! So, Quix, Dr. E, Metmom, game, alex, rn, etc. --> you guys also believe this? The "Our FAther" is only for the Jews?

And do you guys also believe Iscool's earlier assertation that (Saint) Augustine is irrelevant

or his

I don't think you could even prove (Saint) Ignatius ever existed...
