From a friend: Well, I see the new speaker already has his PR staff hitting the ground running. Note that this is directly in front of the C-Span main House camera, so that it will be publicized widely. “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.” Matthew 6:5. 1/?
2a/2
In case anyone is wondering, Matthew 6:6 is the WWJD portion of this that ought to apply for the Speaker’s super GOP evangelical caucus(note also that no ladies were asked to join in…go figure): “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
@Lindy they have little interest in Kesus except to use his name for their own enrichment, they prefer the old testament with its stoning of women and eye for an eye philosophy. It truly staggers me that these plastic Christians in their evangelical taliban have totally lost the central message that Jesus brought the new way and the OT is there for reference. Picking and choosing the bits that turn them on.
