If Jesus was God, why would he pray to Himself and say "Father take this cup of suffering from me"?

Answer 1

simple because Jesus is not God. how can you pray to yourself. he was praying to his Father in the heaven. Jesus said that he cannot do anything without the Father in the heaven. yes Jesus said you seen me you seen the Father, he was with Jehovah God from the beginning, not that he was God. even the 12 knew that Jesus was the son of God, not God. even the devil knows that Jesus is the son of the Most Holy Father. Jesus Christ is now seating at the right hand of Jehovah God, so he is not God

Answer 2

It's called the 'Trinity'. The Trinity includes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. It's like I am a daughter, a granddaughter, and a sister, yet I am only one person. Each part of the triune has different functions. The Son prayed to the Father. I know that it is difficult to understand, but it's something that must be taken on faith.

Answer 3

The triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) , three persons in one God is one of the great mysteries of faith. The Father, Son and Spirit are a community of love. Also, Jesus was a man and therefore took on our humanity and the need to surrender to the Father's will.
I hope that this helps.

Answer 4

I pray for Him to take this cup of suffering from the whole earth.

Answer 8

The Christian concept of the Trinity once seemed strange, perhaps even contrived, to me. How could something be three things that are one and one thing that is three? But the Trinity made sense to me once I came to believe in God, to recognize Him in Jesus Christ and to know the part of Him within me. My understanding of the Trinity, and belief in its truth, grew as I came to see that the universe itself reflects the three-in-one nature of the God who created it.
Water as solid, liquid and vaporMatter
Matter has three states, solid, liquid and gaseous. Each element is a single element, but it takes on different forms or manifestations under different conditions.
Three primary colors give white lightLight
Any color of light can be formed from the three primary colors. Light that appears as white, the purest of all, does not exist by itself but is the equal combination of red, green and blue light, and is a manifestation of three colors in one.
Three dimensions in spaceSpace
The space of our universe has three dimensions. You cannot define a point in space without using three dimensions, and yet that point is one.
Time in past, present and futureTime
Time in our universe has three dimensions that are found in past, present and future, yet it is a single continuum and only exists in the present.
Three primary forces of natureForces
There are three physical forces known to control all interactions in matter: gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear. The Unified Field Theory seeks to identify one set of laws that describes all these forces as different manifestations of one force.
Atoms
The atom defines the most basic unit of every chemical element in the universe. The word atom comes from the Greek word for "indivisible," yet while it represents the purest essence of one element, the atom has three facets, with the positively charged proton and neutral neutron at its core, and the negatively charged electron outside the core that balances its electric charge and interacts with other elements.
Trisecting a line as the basis for design in creationLife
The physical design of the human body, and that of many other life forms, is based on a relationship known as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Section. This proportion is based on trisecting a line such that the ratio of the small piece to the large piece is the same as the ratio of the large piece to the entire line. It is also found by solving an equation with three terms, x3 - x2 - x1 = 0.
Nature of man
The nature of man is expressed as mind, body and spirit, analogous to, and in the image of, the triune nature of God. It's interesting to note that Genesis relates man being made by "us" in "our" image when referring to God, indicating the plurality in His nature.
Life on Earth
Life on Earth inhabits three domains, the sea, the land and the air.
Holy Trinity
Following the three-in-one nature that is found throughout creation, we find the three-in-one nature of the One God manifested in the Holy Trinity, with each Being revealing a different aspect of our God and Creator to us:
The Father, the part of God that is transcendent, infinite and beyond our understanding,
The Son, Jesus Christ, the part of God that is immanent and appeared to us in the way that we could best know Him, in human form. He was both "Son of God," an expression of God as contained in human form, and at the same time "Son of Man," the ultimate expression of who we can be in our most divine form.
The Holy Spirit, the part of God that lives in the heart and soul of each of us, acting as our Counselor for those who believe and listen to His voice within us.
