likeadove,

Do you not think that we can "live holy lives in loving obedience to Him and to spread the good news of the gospel to as many as we can" by way of a prayer site online? I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, but I also believe that other people believe that their "God" is the one. I think that they are wrong, and they think we are wrong. Why is it so hard for people to just come together and accept your own belief and work together to make a more harmonious earth?

Do you think that Jesus would want us to not bother talking to other people because they believe in Buddha etc? We aren't worshipping their idols, we are working with them and at the same time spreading the name of our Lord to them, and bringing everyone a bit closer together.

I'll pray for you to be able to open your heart and mind a little more, likeadove.

likeadove,

I don't think that site (prayerchainbook.com) is a bad thing. I think the world is lacking a coming together of religious peoples. I also disagree that it is trying to lead us away from Jesus Christ. In fact, I think He would be happy to think that Christians were joining hands with other religious faiths to help the world as a whole. Perhaps it would give us a chance to spread Jesus' word to people who were less fortunate and have not heard of many of the stories of the Bible. There is definitely no denying that the earth and it's people are in trouble times, and I think a place online to share prayer is perhaps one of the things needed to get everyone back on the right track.
