I also would not want to prayer with an evolutionist but I feel there must be some leeway in that instance. We need men of God to makes a statement to Jews and Muslims that they need salvation through Christ alone I find that LCMS Christians and the body of Christ in general are very quick at the draw to condemn Muslim all the time but are silent about the Jews needing to get right with God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549264477938118831.post-67696932943548321012013-01-11T14:23:55.812-08:002013-01-11T14:23:55.812-08:00Muslims pray to the God of Abraham just as Jews do...Muslims pray to the God of Abraham just as Jews do. Muslims pray to the God of Jesus Christ, the God of the virgin Mary also. Now as Christians we know that because Muslims deny the divinity of Jesus Christ they are not getting the ear of God when they pray...just as the Jews aren't getting the ear of God when they pray. So there are two answers to this question. Technically both Jews and Muslims are praying to the same God that Christian do but in reality God the father doesn't hear their prayer because it is not prayed through the merits of Christ Jesus. I don't understand why this is such a complex issue for you Rev. Otten. If you are going to say that Muslims don't pray to God then you also must say the same for Jews. I also find it disturbing that no one ever includes these statements about the Jews not praying to God and gives them a pass. I know you don't do this but the LCMS does play favorites with their fear of the Jews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
