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 |

2 | Are we to pray to the holy spirit? | Matt 6:9 | Makarios | 155174 | ||
Greetings Ray, My friend, I have supported you in the past and looked the other way frequently when I have not quite agreed with you. I have shown you friendship here on the Forum, discussing capitalization and various things. I have given you the benefit of the doubt. But, in this case, it seems that you are attempting to correct a very Biblically based, straight-forward answer that has been offered by our fellow Forum member, Hank. Do you mean to disagree with Hank's quote of Matthew 6:9? If so, please explain. Unfortunately, your post was not very clear in supporting "I am surprised at Hank's answer to you." I probably would have written something very much akin to what Hank wrote. Do you mean to debate the Tri-unity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit? Or are you preaching the heresy of Oneness? Please kindly and clearly explain what your views are and why it was necessary to digress with what Hank has written. Blessings to you, Makarios |

3 | Are we to pray to the holy spirit? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 155184 | ||
Hi Makarios, We need to look at other Scriptures to compare to the truth of Matthew 6:9. 1) I think of the High Priestly prayer of John 17. Verse 12 says that while Jesus was with them, He was keeping them in "Thy"name. Verse 13 "But now...14 I have given them Thy word..." John 17:19, "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." 21 "that they may all be one;...that they also may be in Us...22 that they may be one, just as We are one. 2) I think of John 16:24, "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." From the heart, Ray |
