Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do
"Each of the four living creatures(A) had six wings(B) and was covered with eyes all around,(C) even under its wings. Day and night(D) they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come.”
You better explain this to the Holy Angel of Revelation.
Jesus was not criticising praise and adoration, only repetitive prayers (mantras)
16 words repeated for eternity sounds repetitive.
Perhaps you don't know that prayers are your personal relationship with your Lord and Creator. He wants you to personally tell him about your life, what you need and what you are appreciative of. What you are sorry for and who you have forgiven their trespasses. Praise is entirely different, it could be a song, it could be Psalms it could be the shedding of tears. Which are all repetitions and are all fine. But there is no personal relationship in a repetitive prayer.
Praise, not prayers - big difference.
They can't. Protestants don't make intellectually honest arguments.
