I just got through re-reading Ray's " Praying by God's rules ", and I was reminded of something that happend a couple of months ago. I was talking with a longtime good friend...well, he used to call me his friend, and the discussion of Free Will came up. I realized very quickly this was not a subject that was even worth talking about with this person. After exchanging pleasantries I mentioned Ray's site. This guy is a youth minister at a Baptist church, and before I left he asked if he could pray for me. All I could think of is what Ray mentioned in his article, " Would Jesus have asked for prayer from the blind man that he healed? Would Joseph had asked for pray from his brothers when they came to him to buy bread?
Anyway, I told him that I did not want him to pray for me because He and I do not live in the same Spiritual house. Not only did he not understand, he got MAD. Haven't heard from him since. Was I right in doing this?
p.s.
I don't reply to to many threads because I type like I have hooves belonging to an overweight clydesdale that has been standing on concrete it's entire life.
Love in Christ
