Palin's prayer remark angers former staffers

I certainly would not ask someone to pray WITH me if I felt there was lack of agreement.

If I read my Bible correctly... there are two things which must exist when asking another to pray with you.... You are both agreed on the God in whose name you pray.... and you're both agreed regarding the need or purpose of the prayer and have the faith believing God will answer.

Asking for prayer is different than just up an praying for someone. One may pray for any person, sinner or saint: But one does not ask just anyone to pray with them. There is a difference which seems to escape some of the posters on this board.

Of course if we all grew in the Lord at the same rate and came to the same conclusions through our experiences of faith and study in the Word...... I suppose some might consider it pretty boring.




Regarding Palin and agreement with campaign staff:
Some of the questions she was asked during the campaign..... like magazines read or Supreme Court decisions.... were not typical kinds of questions normally asked of most politicians. They were the kind of social and gossipy type of points which someone mentoring or following another closely might pick up on and turn into issues or ridicule in a later and more vunerable setting. This is what I think happened to her: This would give her reason to suspect that all who presented themselves as being part of her team were not really on her team. I think she was marginallized by those who were with her in the campaign. If she really was McCain's choice, then those on his team should have embraced her with all the dignity and desire for her success as they did him. As part of that, insider jokes and information and trivial talk should have been kept inside their circle and not leaked to those outside.

As it is....... her experience and the questionable loyalty of those within the campaign circle..... serves as an example to discourage others who might identify and desire to run for office.

 

Yep, I can respect that. But is that something you say in front of a camera?

 

Folks

Just consider the source: From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby.

The Clinton News Network.

The leftist media keep hammering away at Sarah Palin because she represents everything they are against and they fear her. This will keep going at least until November 2012.

 

You wouldn't understand even if it was spelled out for you syllable by syllable. Your whole world view is different from SP's and mine--that's why you wouldn't understand. But I betcha she would pray with me. Yep, you betcha. Because the Holy Spirit in each of us will bear witness in each other. Not everyone who professes to be a Christian is. Their fruit and their walk testifies to the contrary.

Didn't some of her staffers throw her under the bus right after the election was over?

Again, you wouldn't understand, just like you distort and twists the posts by Brother Curtis.

 

2 Cor. 6:Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

I guess we can just rip THAT verse out of the NT. You are mixing apples and oranges, Crabby.

 

Today I was building a Coca Cola display.

While on my knees, a black man walks up to me and said, "Say a prayer for me while you are down there."

I replied, "Sure, but in Jesus' name."

Laughing he said, "Right On!"

I did say a silent prayer for him to receive a blessing, for he blessed me with just the suggestion. :godisgood:

Oh....... it is so sweet to trust in Jesus......
and precious too are those moments when the Spirit of God unites us in one accord and reveals a mutual agreement!

That's what SP was needing and looking for in the dessert of her campaign trails and trials.

 

She'd Pray with ME Too!

You and I are in agreement....I know in my "heart-of-hearts" that Sarah would pray with me. There is no unequal yoking, no joking, with her spiritual stand and mine. I say this because of things I've read about her, and I believe we are like-minded in the Lord...

Pastor Paul

 

Why not? A lot worse rumors about her were spread by campaign staff.

She didn't name names like they did.

If there were those on the campaign staff that had need to feel guilty, let them. She accused no one.

 

Because then it will be all over the news, cyberblogs and discussed in news groups. Because you will offend any Christian on staff by implying they were not prayer partner worthy. Because then you look and sound like the Pharisee who prayed;

Lk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

We should be careful of looking down on other Christians by implying their Christianity is not worthy or equal to mine and that their prayers never penetrate God's ears. As long as SHE (Palin) prayed with a sincere heart, the Lord promised to hear her prayer... It doesn't matter who your prayer partner is, it matters that YOUR heart is right.

 

Palin is a loose cannon. She'll be way, way off the radar in 2012.

 

Hopefully all of us who hold similar beliefs to hers will be way, way off the radar in 2012 - aka raptured, no longer on planet earth. :laugh:

 

So now you're saying that right wing Republicans will all be raptured but no Democrats will? That someone has to be a Republican to be a Christian? I've heard this distortion of the faith many times but that doesn't make it true.

 

Where did LE say someone has to be a Republican to be a Christian. This is another example of the Obama apologists twisting words.:BangHead:

 

Trying out for drama queen?


Palin made no spectacle of herself praying. Try to focus on the subject at hand instead of misdirection.

 

I didn't say she made a spectacle, she said no one was worthy of praying with her. Not worthy is looking down on others.

 

No, just me. I've been known to do that you know. Seriously, why would everyone who holds similar beliefs to Palin's be raptured (saved)? Actually she said "all of US."

 

Is here stand against the slaughter of the unborn the reason you call her a loose canon? Or is it the fact that she is not ashamed of her Christian faith?

 

Now you're being dishonest.

She said no such thing, and..

The scripture you quoted certainly suggest she was mimicking the attention getting tactics of praying pharisees.

 

LeBuick, I know that I have said this many times - sorry to repeat myself... but you really must work on that reading comprehension.

Palin did not say that "no one was worthy of praying with her".

You are wrong - wrong - wrong.
