Churches against the bible?

Matthew 6:6 states that prayer should be done strictly in private. Matthew 6:5 goes as far as to call those who pray in temples hypocrites. All you chruch goers are goin' to HEEEELLLL!

So lulz and all, but this thread is either a joke or not a whole lot of thought went into it.

It's speaking of hypocrites who pray out loud so that others think they are pious or righteous. Everything they are not. The scriptures go as far to say that you should cover your head with your clothes, like pulling them up and over.

I've been to several church sermons and all prayers I have seen are spoken.

yes, religious practice changes over the course of 2000 years.

I also think you might be confusing the prayers and hymns of a service with personal prayer. Because when I was raised Anglican, we prayed silently when we were speaking directly to God.

the section is clearly about using faith and religion as an item of status and vanity.

Hmm... Catholics seem fond of that... *gasp!* Heresy!

Which does go againt some scriptures. I believe the scriptures are telling us in a simple and story way, that: If you have a strong desire, don't make a fool of yourself and don't do it for others to make you a PRECIOUS object of god. Pray, to pray, and there are many types of prayers.....some don't ever take words, just thoughts, and then others are different still.

Pretty much. Especially when you consider that Jesus prayed out loud directly after.

There are a lot of contradictions in the bible.
