I'm a Korean teenager and I do the "Korean prayer" without anyone urging me to. How can you as a human being judge and say "it's for show"? Sure there are people who do it for show. As for my case, I can personally say praying in this way has planted my feet firmly to the ground and strengthened my faith and Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942087389743161053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18654361.post-10576857279589140682010-02-01T11:00:37.637+00:002010-02-01T11:00:37.637+00:00I rather imagine that at least some of my objectio...I rather imagine that at least some of my objection to the practice is because I'm very bad at concentrating when there's other stuff going on in the room...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487495921222083129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18654361.post-1734239482652229442010-02-01T00:52:18.582+00:002010-02-01T00:52:18.582+00:00Hi. Thanks for the posting.

I myself prefer praying quietly, I can communicate better with God that way. I don't particularly object to prayer in loud voice, but I hate my church sort of pushing people to pray in loud voice. I can’t concentrate that way.

(by the way I'm Korean) In my experience in Korean church, usually whoever the leader is, lets you know how are we gonna pray either silently, or loudly, or in tongue, or any other possible way. So it's not like we always pray in loud voice. <BR/><BR/>And also I think it's a cultural thing, effected Koreans to have a tendency of praying Steve Ahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144179266881865844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18654361.post-69429651526369088262007-10-25T23:16:00.000+01:002007-10-25T23:16:00.000+01:00Worth also adding that in 1 Corinthians 14, there'...Worth also adding that in 1 Corinthians 14, there's an assumption that speaking out loud is for other people rather than between oneself and God - hence the stuff about speaking in tongues.<BR/><BR/>Even speaking in tongues is to be done in turn, with interpretation.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487495921222083129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18654361.post-64247385603554749132007-10-25T23:12:00.000+01:002007-10-25T23:12:00.000+01:00I think you're trying to have your cake and eat it...I think you're trying to have your cake and eat it, whatever that means.<BR/><BR/>You say both that the vocalisation is partly for the purpose of encouraging others, and then implicitly argue that it isn't.<BR/><BR/>Praying like Hannah did is just as easy to concentrate as praying out loud (for me at least).

A case can be made for praying out loud one person at a time, as the listeners can "agree" (to use church speak) in their own prayer. On the other hand, with "Korean prayer" (they call it that in Japan, too), you can't hear what any one person is saying. So what's the point? It's certainly not for God's benefit.I can only Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
