Bible Question:
Are imprecatory prayers used in the New Testament? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Lcdking! For those who may not know, an imprecatory prayer is a prayer in which vengeance, death, or some curse is called for upon one's enemies. They are found in the Old Testament. But, I can't think of any clear examples in the New Testament. Some have argued that Jesus prayer concerning Judas may have been one, and there are a few cases of church discipline that some think may be imprecatory in nature. However, I can't think of any clear cut instances. Here is link to a good article about this subject: http://www.gotquestions.org/imprecatory-prayer.html Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
