    Matthew 6:5 :

    And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.

    Just quoting their own book for no particular reason. They strangely must have always skipped that part when they read theirs.

      Christians have a long history of skipping things.

      none of the prophecy’s in Mathew were about jesus; oops. or things like jesus saying “I didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it”… violating the law by adding to (and removing from) it… (but that’s not allowed. oops.)

        Matthew was literally talking about jesus? I’m curious if you can expand on that.

        Is your quote from jesus meant to reference Trump changing the law?
