That's the only thing you noticed to make issue of ?
Out of all the good things written in those paragraphs, that is what you honed in on to be stumbled at ?
It seems that you came to the paragraphs with a pre-planned attitude to hunt for something to raise as an objection. Here is a writing trying to help seekers of God to obtain some healthy habit ...[text shortened]... possible objection.
This is why it is difficult to give some posters a benefit of a doubt.
To tell other Christians that they need to 'pray read' at least 30 minutes every day and that this is a fixed principle Is disingenuous, prescriptive, needlessly arbitrary and totally without scriptural basis.
I think personally that's rather an important issue to take notice of.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeIts an example of religious cult behaviour. Devotees idolize a man and then they mindlessly regurgitate statements made by this idol. Sonship is in a cult. Cult members so affected cannot see what they are doing wrong and will protest and claim that he is following Christ.

The book is called "Lord Thou Saidest" by Ray Graver with the help of a team of researchers who explored quotations of Christians down through the ages.
All the testimonials from over centuries concern the keys and secrets that Christians share on how they used the Bible to enrich their spiritual life.
This is not a plug for anyone's financial profit. This is an encouragement as to where one one can go to see a compilation of testimonials on the benefit of praying and reading through the Holy Bible.
The book on Amazon "Lord Thou Saidest" with reviews: (Given FIVE stars)

I fear that if I ask you which belief/s I have spoken about is Strange, according to your publication, we will end up repeating some discussion held already four to six times - ending in merely agreeing to disagree.
The "Trinity" is strange ? Discussed with you and defended maybe 10 times.
"Eternal Perdition" is strange ? Discussed and reasoned with you, O, maybe half a dozen to a dozen times.
