Quote:Your inability to grasp that they are hypocrites precisely because they pray in public is really annoying.Your insistence that your interpretation of these verses is the only possible correct one is really annoying. I think that Jesus knew his own intent better than you do, and he prayed in view of other men. I think Jesus' apostles were in a better position to understand his intent than you are, and they prayed in view of other men.
You took two verses and reached a wrong conclusion because you don't know the Scriptures as a whole.
