Letter To Pope: The Perfect Change To The Christian Liturgical “lord’s Prayer" by telltimes: 9:14am On Dec 09, 2017
Dear Pope,
I am happy your holiness have actually responded to the controversial line in the Lord’s prayer. The prayer, called “The Lord’s Prayer”, is part of Christian liturgical culture and memorized from childhood by billions of Catholics and Christians all around the globe.
I understand the Lord’s prayer was translation from the Latin vulgate, which was translated from ancient Greek, which was in turn translated from Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus but I have always disagreed with the line “lead us not into temptation” and for years had wondered if God will ever lead us into temptation, but I remember Christ said we will be tempted, I remember he said no man is above temptation and I posited that it should be “leave us not in temptation”, this was what I wrote in a mail to the Catholics Headquarters around August 2017, the letter was not replied since then.
My point here is the the Lord’s prayer :
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
The Lord’s prayer should get a few change on third paragraph, since the paragraph in Latin has “peirasmos” which means temptation, I think temptation is a valid part of the Lord’s prayer.
Finally I think it should be ” Leave us not in temptation and deliver us from all evil”
Although the French catholic had been using “do not let us fall into temptation” I see that to be very much wrong, for Christ told us temptation must surely come, and even He the saintly was tempted after a 40 days, 40 night fasting and prayer.
Sir, this was my recommendations in my letter to the catholic headquarters and l am happy you are making an attempt to put this controversy to an end. For Christ cannot ” lead us into temptation”. I have waited so long for this changes, it is time to make the correction your holiness, God bless you.

What's this wan saying angry Temptation must come yes but do not be led into it is the prayer. It's better to be tempted unknowingly than for you go and look for who to tempt you.

A scantily dressed sexy babe walking down the road is a source of temptation to the onlookers and if you allow yourself to get carried away you, you might end up sinning. That's what the third paragraph tries to prevent.

But when you carry yourself go ashi joint, it is you that drove yourself into temptation and some people no matter how much you try to drag them away, they must satisfy that urge first.... tell me how God wan take drag that person out naaa?

Do you agree temptation much surely come, take Jobs case for example, Jesus left Satan to tempt him but he did no leave Job in temptation. He restored him for showing he could resist temptation, he could use the sword (Bible) the way Christ did after the 40days, 40 night prayer on the mountain, when Satan came tempting.

So the French change "do not let us fall into temptation" is invalid. When you check Christ and Jobs encounter, you will see temptation come naturally and God may even allow it so you defend yourselves by his name and if Christ is in you, you will overcome. Do no let us fall into temptation is wrong because there is no way temptation won't come visiting.
