We are in the process of studying and examining
1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
There are alot of false prophets as mentioned thousands of years ago.
2 peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
There will be false teachers and false Christ, who will teach their own teachings.
The Bible is a standard and it should be the stand of our learning.
What is exact is the word of God and our weight must be exact.
We need to compare the teachings to know which is true and is in the Bible.
Ecclesiastes 7:27
Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
We need to compare each account to know the truth
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Romans 12:9
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
John 9:31
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
If the person praying is upright, then the prayer is pleasing to God. But if the person is Wicked, then it is abominable to him
What is the right way of praying which is the doctrine of Christ
Mathew 6:7-8
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Isaiah 65:24
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Praying repeatedly is not necessary because even before we start praying God already knows our heart and he will give answer to our prayers.
Mathew 6:5-6
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 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.
Praying should be done in secret and not to show off,we shouldn't pray as the hypocrites do
Mark 11:25
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
The most recommended way to pray is while kneeling down as much as possible, but if conditions doesn't permit we can stand in praying.
Acts 20:36
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
Mathew 26:39
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Kneeling is an act of humility, an act of loyalty, of reverence.
Psalms 95:6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
We should not use vain repetitions while praying and we should pray kneeling down as much as possible
1 Corinthians 11:4-5
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
A man praying shouldn't have a covering while when a woman is praying her head should be covered.
