I have several Christian friends and my dad is, so I did grow up reading the bible- most of it never said to discriminate against those who did not accept Christ, ( and before there were missionaries, some people did not eve know about it)- the real question is, shouldn't you be asking EVERYONE to pray? Whether it be God, Jesus, Allah, Yaweh, Shivah, the Sun- whatever they choose to worship and honor- does it matter what they call it? A prayer for good intentions, is a prayer for good intentions, and people should not forget that.

I did a project for school about how silly it is to fight over religion. Look at an apple...in english we call it apple, in spanish it is manzana- it is the same thing isnt it? Since people had different languages and their beliefs were shaped by their environment, maybe they came up with different NAMES for the same universal concept, because they did the same for everything else around them!
I think we all truly worship the same thing, and except for a few extreme cults/sects/religions naerly ALL says the same thing- be good to the old, the poor. Be kind, be nice. The Torah, the Bible, the Quaran, the Mahabahrat- all say the same thing! What difference does the name make!?

Well, by doing that, if they are worshipping a false god, then you would be asking them to pray to a false god. I wouldn't want to put up stumbling blocks to anyone not of my faith. What if they are satanists? Asking them to pray to satan would be a sin that I am doing. No, besides, what help can I hope to have from false gods? How could their prayer to Boo Boo the kitty post god really help me? The only effect it would have on either of us is....I would be asking someone to sin and they would not be any step closer to the real God of this universe. I suppose I would give exception to jewish folks praying to God because it is obvious they worship the same God as christians do....but everyone else...noper.

The pleasant factor you'll do is solely be respectful of others evaluations. Yeah, I recognize normally anybody will ask a flawlessly innocent query and so they get attacked for it however that is simply the character of the beast. People are imply on-line for the reason that they may be able to accomplish that with none truly result. No prayers wanted. Just are living your existence and forget about any person who bashes you or your ideals. They simply desire your awareness besides and on the finish of the day, you do not know them and they do not have an impact on your truly existence. Get a thicker epidermis and allow others discover their possess means in existence. As lengthy as they are no longer hurting your truly existence, their ideals cannot trouble you. We're all entitled to prefer what we consider. Live your existence through atmosphere a well illustration and shop the prayers for individuals that relatively relatively want them.

There is only one true god, and there is only one true son of god who said NO ONE comes to the father but by me...if you have not accepted jesus as the son of god and the savior of your life then how can you come to the father and pray to him? You can call out to allah or who ever else you want to... no one will answer you...the father listens to those who are of his son,those who repent and obey his will for their lives...So it would be kinda pointless to ask a muslim or a scientoligist to pray to the one true god for you because he doesnt believe that jesus is the messiah.

If you are a Christian, asking someone who does not believe in Christ to pray to their god is kind of pointless. When you need prayers, you go to those who will go to Christ on your behalf.

No. The payer of a righteous man avails much. Not Allah, Shiva, Sun, or what. Just Jesus.

Prayers are pointless. They don't do anything. This is provable.
So, posts asking for people to pray are pointless as well.
