How many people on R&S can recite the Lord's prayer without opening the Bible?

Question

Test yourself without turning to Matthew 6:9-13.

Write out the prayer to the best of your ability.

Answer 1

Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom
and the power
and the glory
forever and ever
Amen.

Seeing as I don't go to church, and did in fact write that down from memory (we had to pray in elementary school - it's burned in there), I'd say I deserve the 10.

Answer 2

The first half of the Lord's Prayer is actually a Kabbalistic formula that was in use for millenium. The "Catholic" custom of crossing the chest signing the four directions was used with it.
In Hebrew it"s pronounced something like,
Ah-tey , (To Thee), touching the forehead,
Malkoot, (The Kingdom), touching solar plexus,
Vawv, Geboorah, (The Power), touching left or right shoulder depending on whether invoking power or banishing,
Vawv Gedoolah, (The Glory), other shoulder,
Lay-Olahm, (Unto the Ages)
Amen, (So let it be)

Answer 3

The Lords Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

I think I am correct with that. Happy now?

Answer 4

My Father who is in Heaven, Hollowed by thy name. Thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread & forgive us our trespasses/debts as we for give those who trespass against us/ owe us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. And to you be the Kingdom, Glory, the Honor & the Power forever, Amen.


It is interesting that some know the Lords prayer but are prodigals today. Another interesting web site is http://www.fathersloveletter.com . Same Heavenly Father.

2.a) What Kingdom? b) come where?

Answer 6

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one, for thine is the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

The language is archaic because I leaned this when I was about 12. It's probably from the KJV.

Answer 7

That's not even a challenge to anyone with a Catholic upbringing. Since several people have already written it, I see no point in wasting bandwidth. Trust me, I did it in my head using only half of my attention.

LMAO!
The atheists here think that 'for thine is the kingdom...' is a part of the prayer! Folks, that was ADDED by a Catholic cleric during the Dark Ages. Catholics don't use it though, except during the mass, and THEN they seperate it from the Our Father with another prayer. I think it's hilarious that that addition is embraced by Protestants. Aren't they supposed to NOT add or subtract from Scripture???

Answer 8

The Lord's prayer isn't in Matthew 6. It's in John 17!

Jesus never prayed that one in Matthew 6, he is not a trespasser.

And no. I have to turn to it in order to remember it.

Answer 9

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Typical. An atheist can recite this prayer, the 23rd Psalm, and a whole lot more from the Bible without looking, and a thumbs down is the reward. I should have known.

Answer 10

After having to repeat the prayer every day for Catholic school, you'd think I'd know it by heart. Even if I no longer follow Catholicism.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and deliver us our trespasses as we forgive those who tespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us evil. Amen.

I even know it in French.

Notre pere, qui es aux cieux que ton nom soit sanctifie que ton regne vienne que ta volonte soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel donne-nous auj'hourd hui notre pain de ce jour pardonnes nous nos offenses comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux qui nous ont offenses et ne nous sommets pas a la tentation mais delivre nous de Mal. Amen.
