Nice post, as always Martin. I believe I have seen at least one false teacher on-line, maybe 2. I’ve been able to make a few comments in one place, but not the other.

I’m not silly enough to think my comments are important, but if they make even one person think about the teacher, and things being taught-well that’s good.

I’ve since unsubscribed from the “teacher” I could make comments on substack, and the other one I just look to see what they are saying. (I only get a glimpse)

Also, wasn’t the “Lord’s Prayer”, spoken by Jesus to the Apostles as an example of how to pray mostly, but Australian society has taken it as the “most important prayer” people can say. For example, at opening of parliament, and they want to do away with that anyway.

Thanks RR, the "Lords Prayer" is in Luke 11:1-4 and Matt 6:7-9 and you need to read them both to get the context, for Luke sounds like it's what you should always say, but Matthew shows that is exactly not what Christ was getting at.

Oh ok, I’ll check that out! Thanks Martin. I should add that that particular prayer was taught to me in primary school, by our R.E. Teacher. Now that R.E. has been taken out of State Primary Schools, at least in Vic (thanks again Daniel Andrews), it’s up to parents to teach their youngsters about the “Lords Prayer”, especially where a good church is hard to find. (Like where I live in rural Vic).
