If Jesus is God in the flesh, than why did Jesus pray to God. Why pray to yoursef?

Question

I've been asking people that question since I got saved Feb.11,2000, and not one person will answer this.

Answer 1

Good point.

The word trinity never appears in the Bible.

According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”

If the Father and the Son have a name (Jehovah, Jesus Christ), why doesn't the Holy spirit also?

"But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand." - Acts 7:55, 56 => Where's the Holy Spirit?
The Holy spirit is God's active force, his power.
The texts from the Bible refer to the Holy Spirit as something, not as someone.

How could God be Jesus. Can you and your son be the same person? No, it's impossible.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." - Colossians 1:15. = > Jesus was created. He has a begining but God doesn't.

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36). If God and Jesus are the same shouldn't Jesus know the day?

Answer 2

Peace be with you, ...and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus is LORD God
The God that Jesus prayed to is Father God, my Father, who art in heaven.

Jesus called Father God, my Father, who is in heaven, because their is another God, he is God, the fallen Angel, Satan

Satan God is the Father of Adam and Cain. Jesus told those that wanted to kill him,(the Jews) your father, is a liar and the father of it. The story of the Tares and John 1:9-13.

The Elect are born of the Spirit, the Light of the Father, who is in heaven. The tares are born of man.

Jesus used new names for himself (Word of God) and my Father, which is in heaven, because Satan would take the name of God in VAIN, to fool the people into believing he was God, the father.

Genesis tells you this, God created with his Word, LORD God made. John 1:3 also tells you this. all things were made by him, and without him nothing was made that was made.

You may always have wondered why Moses killed so many people, the Gospels tells you.

I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, it does not include Moses. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, All those that were before me were thieves and robbers.

Do you know what SINAI means, look it up in any dictionary.
The most famous name Satan used to deceived the people is "I am that I am" If you want to know more ask a question concerning the Gospels

Answer 3

purely placed: Jesus isn't the Hearer of Prayers. God the father has not long previous off into retirement or stepped down from the Throne and made his Son the main severe. there is purely one God- and Psalms 80 3:sixteen names that God Jehovah.

Answer 4

Jesus was a complete man while he lived on earth.

He rarely had his Godliness with Him.
He was guided by the Spirit of God till he was brought up.
That's why his earthly parents found him missing and after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions

When they asked why has he done that? he answered and asked How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

At his Baptism the Holy Spirit came down and abode with him. Still he was a complete human with the power of God. Hence he could do miracles.
Many times he escaped from death (Jews tried to kill him before the appointed time) by his constant prayers.

After his death, He risen from death and went to Heaven.

John 20 : 17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

He took his complete Godliness and rarely the human form.

In the Gospel of John Jesus said God is a Spirit... Because of His Godliness he could come inside the room where the Disciples kept shut within.
Since he changed to the flesh form Thomas could feel his wounds, He could eat.

Mathew 28 : 16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted.

18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Here the disciples found the Godliness in Jesus. Hence they worshiped him.

Then Jesus Himself declared all power is given to me in Heaven and earth.


Before His death, He lived as a complete man born of a woman. He addressed Himself as a son of man.

For this same reason He prayed to God.

Hope this will help to solve your doubt.

Answer 5

Jesus was sent down to this earth by The Father... and He needed the strength to go through the suffering. On this earth He had the human form(flesh) as well as spiritual form..

He was obedient to His Father and prayed that he may get the strength to go through the pain...

Answer 6

Jesus Christ never claimed to be a God, never asked any one to worship him , Jesus Christ used to pray to God the same way Muslims pray and I dare any one to say I'm wrong because it's mentioned in the Bible

Answer 7

Jesus is not Father God they are two distinct persons though the same God. He's not praying to himself.

Answer 8

He was setting an example,have you learned that when we die our flesh returns to dust from which it came. and our spirits return to God from which it came.and at the beginning of noahs story God says he will limits mans days to 120years because His Spirit strived with man.then you should Know that God is within us by virtue of His Spirit. the same Spirit was given to Jesus without limit meaning meaning the entirety of Gods existance resides in Christ,and He in us.But remember you cannot believe unless it is given unto you by the Father ,focus on scriptures that speak on Jesus being the Godhead . and how He is greater than all angels.In the future remember these words If any man lacketh understanding let him ask of The Lord who unbraideth not but giveth unto all men liberally.Lean not unto thine own understanding.

Answer 9

I talk to myself.... and I'm a bit of a nutter.

I always figured Jesus was a bit more like me than most would claim..... that he saw beyond the conventional. Problem is that he tried doing all this from Jewish beginnings, which means a lot of climbing to get out of it.... and his followers were ignorant fools who honestly didn't understand what he was trying to tell them.
On the flipside I started from essentially Athiest beginnings and progressed through hardline Scepticism right through to Nihilism.... and I tend not to keep the same group of followers for too long.

So yeah.... Jesus was a bit of a nutter and spoke to himself.
There is nothing inherantly wrong with being a nutter.... In fact, I would say it is one of the things that makes me inherantly superior to all the idiotic drones out there.

Answer 10

It's not that hard...Jesus is God's Son, and God is also His Father, as He is yours and mine, being born again.

It's the Triune God...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three in one. I'll explain if you email me.
