Subject: Why did Jesus pray to God? |
Bible Note: Exodus, don't forget that God is triune, not one "Person" as many religions try to teach. Col 2:9 states: "For in him" (referring to Jesus) "dwelleth all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily." Historical Christianity believes the following concerning God: within the Nature of the one true God exists three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit - co-equal and co-eternal. With this in mind, when Jesus (The Word, or God the Son, who became flesh - John 1:1-18) dwelt on this earth, He prayed to God the Father. Jesus did NOT pray to Himself because He and the Father are totally distinct Persons of the triune God. There are many excellent posts on this Forum that discuss the Trinity in great detail. I know you will find their answers very helpful. |
