God's position is right here, word for word, in Matthew 6.6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
What, your now saying this isn't what Jesus said, or it isn't what he meant. Its word for word what Jesus said isn't it. Jesus is going to debate himself?

No. Nor is it the words or thoughts of Jesus. It is accounts of people close to or that had had an encounter with Jesus (NT) (Gospel according to Luke; John; matthew ect). The OT is a collection of stories that have been passed down through the generations explaining certain events in the history of man. These are also not the words of God, but of peoples encounters with what they believe is God. Saying that though, there are a few exceptions where people claim to have spoken directly with God (best know is Moses and the burning bush). Again, these are still accounts of interacting with God and not his personal opinion and words. There is no actual account of God sitting down and writing his own gospel, other than of course the Ten Commandments. It is important to remember too that the original gospels new or old have been told by people (who tend to forget, manipulate and taint; intentionally or unintentionally; the truth) and then translated from Aramaic of ancient Jerusalem (2000 years old) then retold, published and redone for the past 2000 years. It is also good to remember that languages other than dead ones (which is why Latin is used) are constantly changing and the original meaning may not be intact or the original wording. If you really with to fully understand the gospels. Learn ancient Aramaic get a degree and start translating the originals. Good luck.

are you asserting that John became or wasnt helping a tri-god? and if he became, why are in user-friendly terms 2 persons suggested in John a million:a million? doesnt trinity mean 3? I even have study the Bible thoroughly and notice no help for any co-equivalent tri-god in fact, Jesus *consistently* illustrates his subjection to his God; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whos call is Jehovah Acts 3:13 and a million Cor 15:24-28 coach that he additionally taught his apostles approximately his subjection to Jehovah. they are not equivalent in accordance to the Bible. yet i think the tri-god thought dates as far back as Babel and Nimrod and became probable a type of pagan issues that the Roman government compelled on the early Christians while they took over the religion in 325 a.d. do a internet seek like I did and additionally you will discover out the historic certainty of those un-Scriptural teachings agape!

the words in the bible were written by men. men dam it. i don't think there was a whole lot of education either. let alone everyone on the same page. religion of some sort has been around long before the Christians killed, maimed there way to the top. like marriage, religion should be outlawed and in place, er well can some one else finish this rant?

Poor love, you're taking it out of context. Anyone can take any of it out of context and make it say what they want it to say. He's sending us to our closet because He doesn't want us to pray just to get attention from others. The Pharisees of that day loved to pray long prayers in public and get oooohs and ahhhhhs from those who watched then...they didn't pray to God, but for themselves. You're really learning a lot, huh? Bible study groups are like this. You may enjoy them....
Wow! In writing this answer you changed avatars twice...I saw three different ones! Are you having an identity crisis?

I'm not sure I'm understanding you, but, all of the words Jesus spoke came from Father God and spoken through Jesus, His Son, and you can take every word Jesus spoke to the "bank of God's heaven"
Matt.6:6 refers to the way we should pray to Father God, alone in private away from other people and distractions so we can get the fullness of His Holy Spirit and guidance from Father God through Jesus the Son of God. only through Jesus can we get to the Father. that's why we pray to Jesus, but it's really God the Father we petition and to give praise and thanks. confused? then pray like this; Oh heavenly Father....(you're prayer here) ... I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Jesus is just a man who can make mistakes like anyone else and the word of god is just faith and it can be said, heard, or interpreted by anyone who wants to take the time.

That is what he said.1 Timothy 28 is the first account I can find that says anything other than to pray alone.

You cannot "get" God's Word from just reading the Bible.
It has to come by Spiritual Revelation.
