[QUOTE="Xalith, post: 69414342, member: 375752"] The boy wasn't speaking loudly or displaying himself openly. It's kind of difficult to touch someone in full view and broad daylight and not be seen by everybody passing by. Matthew 6 doesn't necessarily mean that one has to make sure nobody sees or hears them praying; Matthew 6 is speaking against people who do it for the sole reason to look holy. It isn't the fact you are seen doing it, it is the fact you're doing it for attention and nothing about this photo suggests that the boy was attempting to get fame or "brownie points" for doing this. The boy saw someone who needed prayer, knelt, touched the man and prayed for him and went on his way. I don't think he did anything wrong whatsoever. And besides, Jesus was seen praying by others, a whole group of people when He resurrected Lazarus. He knelt and prayed to the Father before commanding Lazarus to come forth. Probably a few hundred people saw [i]that[/i]. [/QUOTE]
