Surely you read his post where he said our prayers. Why then the snarky comeback with what the Psalmist prayed? He didn’t say all prayers. He specifically said our prayers didn’t he? [CynicalBear]

OK, right off the bat I told E-S: "Surely, you've heard the phrase "imprecatory psalms"??? [If not, please proceed to about 14 or so to become familiarized...5, 10, 17, 35, 58, 59, 69, 70, 79, 83, 109, 129, 137, 140]."

CB, what do you think those imprecatory Psalms are, if not prayers & some other petitions of the Lord (set to music)???

Psalms 83 and 109 start off "O Lord" and "My God" and Ps. 140 starts off "Rescue me, Lord"...and Psalm 17 even gives you a huge clue in the NIV version by titling it: "A PRAYER of David" ...Psalms 5, 10, 35 are OBVIOUS prayers!!!

Do you ever actually consult Scripture before conjecturing away on your opinions?

You know, we are ALL ignorant -- including/especially ME -- on many things...The difference here is that I usually don't try to export it on things I don't know what I'm talking about!

(Please stop embarrassing yourself)

Whatever made you think that I thought they were not prayers anyway? Are you so dead set on somehow excoriating me that you need to inject what you think I think or something?
