Bible Question: Following the Lord's Prayer, we start our prayer by calling "our Father" first. (Question 1) But I wonder if people in fact called God "our Father" in their prayer either in the OT or NT. (Question 2) If not, what name did they call? Thank you for your reply. |
Bible Answer: Question 2: If not, what name did they call? Answer: "Yahweh is His name." Ex 15:3 HCSB The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is His name. Gen. 4:26 The American Standard Version "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah" (YHWH). Know that Yahweh your God is God. De 7:9a Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Ex 3:15 HCSB God also said to Moses, "Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation." Ex 6:2 HCSB Then God spoke to Moses, telling him, "I am Yahweh." Ex 34:5 HCSB The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed [His] name Yahweh. Grace to you, Kalos |
