"SHOULD THE LORD'S PRAYER BE PRAYED VERBATIM?" provides substantial information based on the Holy Scripture, and not on mere man's opinion, for the reader to arrive at a correct answer to the question asked in its title. Because the correct or incorrect answer to this question may influence one's faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this book should be read and studied. This book provides evidence that most Christian churches unintentionally confuse their members by mixing old Mosaic Covenant promises with the new and current active Covenant of Grace promises established by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Failure to consider what, when, why, and to whom a specific Bible verse was spoken will result in flawed doctrine. Jim Schmidt identifies not only the old covenant verses that are being incorrectly used, but also other unintended meaning of words and verses that are confusing church members as to how they receive God's forgiveness and eternal life.
