He literally just stated that he personally prayed to his God for them... you are the one evangelizing here.

- mpalmer 3y agoDevil's (heh) advocate: the prayer itself matters and is a nice thought, but mentioning the recipient of the prayer makes it a soft pitch, which some might reasonably find unwelcome or awkward.
- lfkdev 3y agoNot really Devils Advocat, this is literally what it is
- edgyquant 3y agoOr you could not over analyze a well intentioned attempt at comforting another and move on.
- mpalmer 3y agoI've prayed on this to Tlazolteotl, eater of sins, and have decided to disregard your comment as excessively meta.
- soperj 3y agoI thought Jesus was supposed to be God's son, not literally god?
- scrapcode 3y agoI think it can vary depending on denomination but within the belief of the trinity, it is one god in the form of three persons (father, son, holy spirit). I am certainly no theologian, though, so take that with a grain of salt.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoJust what is the holy spirit? I get the father/son, nobody ever bothered to let us know what that 3rd bit was supposed to be. Or why.
- soperj 3y agoWhy have God if you already have Jesus? Why do you need both?
- scrapcode 3y agoI want to preface that I am agnostic at this point in my life and I struggle with a good understanding of a great example of these and mostly the inconsistencies of their descriptions throughout denominations. But I think in general the "holy spirit" is supposed to be the "feelings" you get that "draw you into" God, or for some people the "callings" they seem to have.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoA better description (or indeed any at all) I've not come across before, at least it makes sense thanks
- ShamelessC 3y agoOkay, sorry if I came across as evangelical. I understand there's no malicious intent.
