Beware of False Prophets and Fake Christians
Wearing their crosses on their sleeves, preaching salvation thru Jesus Christ, stockpiling unimaginable weapons of mass destruction in order to kill their brothers who are not like them. Beware of those that preach love but practice hate and war. By their fruits, you shall know them.

Beware of those that pray for public display. For their words are not truthful but deceitful. They worship another God that is not one of religion. It is the God of greed and idolatry. It is not about love for mankind. It is about love for one's self.

3. Matthew 23:37
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."

4. A Daily Devotional for NeoCon Fundies
Just in case some of them need a reminder...

"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Matthew Chpt 6, verses 1-6

6. What are those verses...
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 10:11 AM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
About praying in one's closet? Some of the most forgotten and powerful words in the Bible.

Matthew, I believe.

On Edit: I do believe Handpuppet has nailed it.

8. Definitely Matthew, sixth chapter.
Matthew 6:6, King James Version:

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray
to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
