[QUOTE="TrustMet, post: 2398033, member: 793721"] A lot to tackle in a short space. The point of the prayer is not to HIDE your praying, it is to not draw attention in your praying. That is what the leaders at the time were doing, Praying loudly and in a manor to draw attention to how Holy they were. Praying should never draw attention to us, but be used as a conversation between us and the Father to seek out his will, to find the desires of his heart. Second, Christ never said, be poor. If you read this you would be aware that he was talking to a rich young man, who placed his wealth first in his life. Nothing is to be place above our love for Christ. Wealth should never be horded up for wealths' sake. If we see a need we should try to help if we have the means to do so. But no where will you find, that God wanted his followers to be poor, and in need. That's not the point at all. [/QUOTE]
