Bible Question: Are we to pray to the holy spirit? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
