Bible Question:
Thank you Emmaus, Recognizing that Jesus was God in the flesh, was Jesus praying to himself ".... why have you forsaken me?" |
Bible Answer: CarolinaGem, Jesus always prayed to the Father even as he taught us to in the Lord's prayer. He frequently prayed as the gospels tell us. Psalms was the prayer book of the Jews. He was not talking to himself but to the father. The Persons of the Holy Trinity are ever in communion and communication with one another. There are a number of ways to pray: structured prayer like the Psalms, "praying the scripture," petition, praise, contrition, thanksgiving, contemplative and so on. Emmaus |
