1 | Are we to pray to the holy spirit? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 155166 | ||
Hi bjma4, Welcome to the forum. I am surprised at Hank's answer to you. The disciples were definitely taught to pray to the heavenly Father. But I would say that we are to pray to our triune God. The heavenly Father is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Spirit. The Son, being God, is Spirit. Thus, I would say that when we pray to our heavenly Father we are saying, "Hallowed by Thy name." Yes, I believe that name is Holy Spirit. [Capitalized, by the way.] 1) The NU text leaves out the last phrase of Matthew 6:13, but I would leave it in as the NASB does "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." This is the kingdom of our triune God. From the heart, Ray |

Ray, so you were surprised by my answer to bjma? My answer consisted only of a direct quotation of Matthew 6:9, wherein Jesus taught His disciples to pray, "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name." Then along you come, expressing surprise by my answer, and adding "The disciples were definitely taught to pray to the heavenly Father. But I would say that we are to pray to our triune God." ..... I will leave it up to bjma and the rest of the Forum members to decide whether to follow the instructions of Jesus or of Ray. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I did not mean you any disrepect in stating my surprise. I knew that you would support your position in the discussion of the question. Makarios is concerned that I am questioning the tri-unity of God or trying to espouse the position of the "Oneness heresy". Is that your fear as well? I am sorry to seemingly put your name in question, Hank, as a respected member from the start of the Study Bible Forum. I am sorry to get off on the wrong foot with you and bjma4 on his first post on the forum. From the heart, Ray |
