Title: Who did Jesus pray to?
Post by: infinite59 on July 26, 2003, 07:53:40 AM
I hope I don't get banned for this.  I know you can get banned for asking a question about a religion or not accepting other religions and stating reasons for that.  But still, at this so-called religious forum you get banned for saying things like that.

Anyway, my question to Christians is who did Jesus pray to?  If Jesus is God, then that's like praying to yourself?

jesus is god and human
not half god not half human

e nomine patres et fili et spiriti sancti

he's the son (fili) prayin to the father (patres)

maybe the latin part is not fully correct.

btw, jesus was human being, not a god

jesus prayed to god (or himself) as a human......not to worship himself, but to set an example


he wasn't worshiping himself if that's what you're trying to get at here.

he prayed to god to show how to have a walk with god

you'd have an argument here if he was worshiping himself


jesus's life as man was metaphoric to how WE as christians should live....so him praying was an example of how to pray


his whole purpose of coming down to earth as man was not to say horray i'm god and you're not, worship me......no it was to be the sacrifice of man and to show  us how to live.

another theory would be that Jesus was "Just" a prophet who was the son of god like everybody, like you and me are sons of god.

so "God" came down to earth, let people spit at him, punish him, misstreat him, and then he asked himself for permision to hold all mankind's sins on his shoulder...


that make no sense.....

Jesus prayed to his father God. Jesus is Lord, I don't recall anyone calling him God.

If it wasn't for Jesus dying the way he did, then no one would've been able to get into Heaven, because when Jesus died he opened the gates of Heaven.

since when did jesus become god? ive always understood him to be the son of god

when i was teaching sunday school to 2nd graders i stumbled upon that question often. It is one of those many mysteries things that God has set upon his children. before the death of christ, he promised his desiples that he was going to send help to them.. and thats why the holy spirit sets foot into play... making God three in one... Jesus is God because he is the Son of God.. but he is Still God...


lol.. in class was had a diagram to show the children.. so it was easier to explain... lol..


oh well...

yeah basically........why are you so hell bent on trying to undermind my religion, just becuase your ignorance towards my religion makes no sense to you.....doesn't mean my religion is wrong. i could easily find all faults in your religion too if it was in my heart.....but hey the fact that you show what or rather who is in yours , contents my mind.
