How come some churches don't say the full Lord's prayer?

Question

A lot of them leave out the "Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever" part.

Answer 1

In Roman Catholic mass it is not left out but the preist is the one who says it as he breaks the host of communion. The Roman Catholic mass is the oldest the protestants changed it.

Answer 2

The Lord's Prayer as given in the Bible ends with 'But deliver us from evil.' (See Matthew 6:9-13) The other lines often recited at the end of the Lord's Prayer are added.

So no one misunderstands me, I am sure that if someone wanted to, they could find a more than adequate Scriptural basis for them, but they are not actually part of the Prayer.

So, the real question is, why do some churches add lines to the Lord's Prayer?

Answer 3

The Lord's Prayer is often repeated and the fact that it is only a guide to the structure of Christian prayer is not stressed. If you take the Lord's prayer apart, in a studying sense, you will see how each part relates to how you should structure your own prayers. Example; Our Father; shows that you recognize God as the creator. You may use any words that you please, Jesus used this prayer only as an example of how to pray, not exactly what words to use. Prayer is common to all religions and faiths, if more people concentrated on instruction received through prayer, there would be less debate about religion.

Answer 4

The Catholic Church doesn't leave out "thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever".

The first part is spoken by the people in church, the last sentence is spoken by the priest.

Answer 5

Hi,

In the church i went to as a kid they left out "and deliver us from (the) evil (one) out. thine. I remember my shock and now i know why, from experience. The lord's prayer is by the by not a repetitive prayer, it contains so much, it is a prayer you need to try and understand. There r many websites. Yes we can be below as we are above (in this dimension as you r in 7 and above, Light, without fear, with God). In order to accomplish this we need to hallow His name, which is our name (I AM)/ So much more. We are forgiven to the extent we forgive others..We need to clean our hearts.

Oh in that church they did say Because thine...// and I do it.

Study the Lord's prayer, that is no a repetitive prayer, it is what we need to do. It is what Jesus thought us. At least try and understand the full meaning, everytime more.


Love

Answer 6

This part was supposed to have been added later.

My preacher used to say that this was the reason for the rest of the prayer, that we should think of it as "BECAUSE Thine is the kingdom, etc."

Answer 7

There is no rule that says a church needs to say the Lords prayer. However, there is nothing wrong with that practice.

Answer 8

They are filthy dogs that don't worship the one true religion. ( True religion, I just made up a oxymoron ) They are lowly half the Lords prayer sayers! They will quake in fear on judgment day. God will gnash this tiny sharp white teeth on them.Because my God will kill you if you don't believe and say the right things!

Answer 9

As an ex-catholic, I'm only vaguely aware of that part. It's been quite a while for me, but I think that was only pulled out for special occasions.

I have no idea why.

Answer 10

those where proven to be sperious texts that were added later.
They were not in the original. Thousands of copies proved someone added it later. That is why the new English versions are much more accurate copies.
