Just another of my philosophically religious musing. Still trying to locate a biblical reference or backing of the act. Meanwhile is it a sin if you shine your eyes like torch lite when praying or when being prayed for, or when in a midst/gathering were prayer is being offered? Over to the religious scholars

To make sure say them no see God/Jesus/angels or else them go fit go blind or turn to salt. Just joking...... it has more to do with faith and belief since that's what Religion is all about. |

Martins301:No.I am 50% certain it is not in the bible I am only saying so because it is unique to me and a percentage number of people have found it through to themselves. When in I close my eyes to pray,I see with my heart and they are more real than my physical eyes. |
