@val70 He (the guy I blocked) has admitted that he likes to irritate Christians. He asks a lot of very good questions, but he doesn't understand the answers.

@Carazaa @val70 Yeah, so much easier to block him than actually try to respond.

@LordShadowfire I have answered his questions over and over. I don't need to repeat myself anymore.

@Abbenthewarwolf I don't believe that at all. I believe Genesis is Gods words.

@Carazaa I agree with several of your points.

However:

1)
[quote]It clearly says in the Bible not to repeat prayers[/quote]

No. That is a misreading of Matthew 6:7-8 which does not take into account

a) the Lord's Prayer right after that
b) Luke 18, re: persistent prayer
c) Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

2)
[quote]it clearly says there are no windows in heaven[/quote]

Please explain Malachi 3:10

[quote]10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open [b]the windows of heaven[/b] for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.[/quote] (NRSVUE, emphasis added)


Are you thinking of graven images for this:

[quote]it clearly says not to make an image of God[/quote]
?

@SomeMichGuy I did not mean persistent prayer, I meant repeating words like "Holy Mary full of grace." What in the world is that?

@SomeMichGuy Angels and God come out of heaven but not people who have died and are in heaven, we are only to pray to God.
