Transcript of Warren's Prayer

He was simply acknowledging those in attendance and watching all over the world.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

He prefaced the names with the "one who changed my life." What more do we want?

 

Honestly, I thought he wasn't leaving any room for doubt who he was praying too...

 

Well, that's your idea on it. But why not just pray in the name of Jesus, period? I don't think there would be confusion.

Obama is becoming President of the U.S., not the world.

 

Well, this is not my fight.

God bless.

 

I noticed that too Marcia. I do not understand why an American pastor would speak the name of Jesus in Arabic unless it was to include Muslims.

I would have preferred RW said "in the name of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. "






Tts 1:4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Marcia, here is that line I was talking about in her poem..

Is that wiccan.. or new age?

 

So it's OK to have mexican americans, and spanish speaking americans, and jewish americans...but not arabic speaking americans?

Also, what language was Titus written in?

 

Greek?


:laugh:

Thanks for getting that, Tim. I would say the "do no harm" thing sounds Wiccan. But I am not sure if that it isn't just coincidental.

 

But Obama didn't say "Jesus" in Spanish. He did say it Hebrew and Arabic. Yeah, like we are an Arabic nation. We have some here but a very small number. It's reasonable to see this is to include the Muslims, and moreover, they probably see it that way, too.

See the thread I'm starting to back up my point: Inclusiviness marks Obama's Inauguration

 

You mean Warren?

He did say Je-sus (hey-soos), and we have many spanish speaking citizens, too.

 

Yeah, I meant Warren. I'm posting on so many threads I'm getting confus-ed. Plus, it's almost 1 a.m. where I am. Either you all are night owls, too, are in earlier time zones than me.

OK, I missed that he said "Jesus" in Spanish. I still maintain that the Issa was for Muslims, not Arabs.

Check out my thread:

What do you mean "it was meant for muslims"? Of course it was, just like Yeshua was meant for those who speak hebrew (jews), He-sus was meant for those who speak spanish, etc. Just because he said Jesus' name in their native tongue doesn't mean he has compromised anything. The nit-picking of this man is unbelievable! He said Issa changed his life, what more should he have said an an inaugural prayer?

 

But Muslim is not a "native" tongue - it's a religion. The Muslim Issa is not the true Jesus.

 

I suggested going to the thread in the General Discussion forum where there is info backing up what I said here. Here's a snippet of it:

.

 

On this I agree on both points. Muslim isn't a nationality with a native tongue and with regard to the scriptures Jesus and thiers. Their Issa (Jesus) is a completely different person than who scriptures declare.

They might 'think' it is the same person much like JW's think their Jesus is the same as scriptures but one is the true God and the other is a man from god.


However with regard to the rest of the thread - ...Oh boy.

 

It's from the Hippocratic Oath that newly-minted physicians take. Hmm, another thread to think about ... our doctors take an "oath" (which is in itself unscriptural) in the "name of" Aesculapius, a divinity in the ancient Greek pantheon?! It just points up how empty these rituals really are.

 

I never said "Muslim" is a native tongue, I said he said Jesus in their native tongue, and this Jesus (not the "muslim jesus"...but Yeshua, He'sus, Jesus) changed his life. What problem is there with that?
