Subject: What does "In the name of Jesus" mean? |
Bible Note: Cyclist: First, let me say that in posting what I did it was never my intention to hurt, flog, or rebuke anyone. Rather it was posted in the hope that it would make us stop and think about what it truly means to pray in the name of Jesus. You write: "It appears that you were quoting someone, were you?" That I was quoting someone is a pretty safe assumption, seeing that I ended my post with the Title of the article quoted, the Author of the article, and the Website where the article originated. Before I attempt to answer your questions, I suggest that you read and heed the last paragraph of my previous post, which I have repeated below. It would probably be better to discuss an article after one has read all of it. Following is the last paragraph of my previous post: "[This article has been edited to fit here within space limitations. To read the entire article, see In the Name of Jesus by Gregory Koukl (www.str.org/free/commentaries/theology/nameofje.htm)]" Hopefully, reading all of the article will better explain what I was intending to make clear. But if, after reading it, you still have questions, I would be glad to answer them. Grace to you, kalos |
