1 | What does "In the name of Jesus" mean? | John 14:14 | Cyclist | 56973 | ||
Kalos, From the rising of the sun to it's setting, I will praise the Lord! I will always be thankful to my God for delivering me from a life that was sending me to eternal damnation! Praise be to you Lord Jesus for dying for my sins! Kalos, I am somewhat of a fool to worldly wisdom, and, display a certain level of immaturity, as a Christian, in most of my postings. I am thankful to God for the wisdom He has graciously given to me when needed. I must say that in my "narrow mind" that I am somewhat confused by your posting on John 14:14. In fact, I feel somewhat "flogged" because I end most of my prayers by saying "In the name of Jesus, Amen." I usually end them this way though: "In the name of Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son, who died for my sins and the sins of the world, blessed be His name forever." You write: 'Ending prayers with that phrase might do nothing whatsoever to the efficacy of your prayer. I even submit that it might be hurting your prayer, depending on what you mean by the phrase.' It appears that you were quoting someone, were you? This part of the post hurts a little. Is this, or anything else in your posting, inspired by revelation or the Spirit of the living God, or, is it man's wisdom? What about my prayers, and the prayers of countless others who ended their prayers "In the name of Jesus, Amen." and had prayer answered? What about these events in the New Testament where "In Jesus name" was spoken? Acts 3:6; 4:10; 18:16; 19:5; 1 Cor 1:10; 1 Cor 5:4; 2 Thes 3:6. Although I have learned much from postings by you, and, have been encouraged by them as well, I was, and, am sad, a little confused, and, as I wrote before, feel as though I have been "flogged" for ending prayers "In Jesus name, Amen." Are these postings of the spirit of edification? Are they of the spirit of God? Are they "In the name of Jesus"? I really enjoyed Hank's posting on "The Lord's prayer". Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

2 | What does "In the name of Jesus" mean? | John 14:14 | kalos | 56979 | ||
Cyclist: First, let me say that in posting what I did it was never my intention to hurt, flog, or rebuke anyone. Rather it was posted in the hope that it would make us stop and think about what it truly means to pray in the name of Jesus. You write: "It appears that you were quoting someone, were you?" That I was quoting someone is a pretty safe assumption, seeing that I ended my post with the Title of the article quoted, the Author of the article, and the Website where the article originated. Before I attempt to answer your questions, I suggest that you read and heed the last paragraph of my previous post, which I have repeated below. It would probably be better to discuss an article after one has read all of it. Following is the last paragraph of my previous post: "[This article has been edited to fit here within space limitations. To read the entire article, see In the Name of Jesus by Gregory Koukl (www.str.org/free/commentaries/theology/nameofje.htm)]" Hopefully, reading all of the article will better explain what I was intending to make clear. But if, after reading it, you still have questions, I would be glad to answer them. Grace to you, kalos |

Kalos, Praise be to the Lord our God for the great things He does for us! Forgive me, I was a too hasty in responding to your post. I have been wanting to study this particular portion of scripture but have not had (taken) the time needed to do it. I will read the artcile. Thank you for understanding, and, again, forgive me for not taking time to fully understand your posting, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Cyclist: Your apology is accepted, but not needed. :-) No harm done. I am happy to see that you have an open mind and are willing to investigate this question further. Grace and peace to you, kalos |
