Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) vs.
Roman Catholic Raymond De Souza, KM
Snippet from The Wanderer Catholic newspaper. Thursday May 3, 2012.
General theme evolves around the question of repetition in prayer:
Is there is a Scriptural foundation for it?
JWs say NO -- Roman Catholics say YES!
JW Question:
"And do you, by chance, know how prayer is done in Heaven?"
Answer:
"Actually, I do. I happen to know how they pray in Heaven. If you open your Bible, I'll show you.
"Here it is: The book of the Apocalypse -- or Revelation -- tells us that in Heaven the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, just like the seraphim cited in Isaiah 6:3, continually indulge in repetitive prayer: And they have no rest day and night as they say Holy, Holy, Holy, is Jehovah God, the Almighty, who was and who is coming (4:8).
"Fancy that! Prayer of repetition in Heaven! Those seraphim must be Roman Catholic!" ...
"To be continued ..." :)
But!
A little preliminary homework - preparation:
"Just to see if my own feeble memory is functioning ..."
Isaiah 3:6 -- maybe??
Revelations (or Apocalypse) 4:8 -- maybe??
Psalm 119 (176 "repetitive versus!!" )
Matthew 26:39, 42 & 44 ...?
And, oh yeah!
How many times has the Lord's Prayer been "repeated," going on two thousand years now, and for sure THAT'S in most everyone's Bible, too!
