In your question you clearly state that Jesus says one thing and Paul says completely the opposite.

"Secondly"

Paul is trying to be "seen by men", which contradicts what Jesus already said.

"Thirdly"

Who cares what Paul said, to be a christian is about listening to what Jesus Christ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (raphjd) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/8452 Fri, 06 Jan 2006 18:35:54 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 6:5-6 - Praying in Public ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/8451/t/Matthew-6-5-6-Praying-in-Public.html#reply-8451

First of all, Paul is stating his own personal opinion. Elsewhere (First Corinthians 7:7) Paul says that he wishes that all men were as he himself is -- that is, celibate. But that does not mean that it is wrong for men to marry. It does not even mean that it is right for a particular man to remain celibate. Pauls wish is exactly what Paul presents it as: Pauls wish, no more and no less.

WTB: "Just because it is a personal wish does not relieve it from being a contradiction, does it?"

Yes, to the extent that Jesus' statement is a didactic command and Paul's statement is not. And the other things I said still apply: Jesus prohibited public prayers like the hypocritical religious leaders used; the prayers that Paul has in mind are of a different kind, and probably in regard to a different setting, too.

Your statement about "public prayer being beneficial" is your own personal idea, isn't it? Your example is *Paul*, not Jesus later exhorting a public prayer. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (WhatchooTalkinBout) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/8448 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 17:36:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Matthew 6:5-6 - Praying in Public ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/1035/t/Matthew-6-5-6-Praying-in-Public.html
