Are you smarter than a 2nd Grader? Questions about the lord's prayer. What does it mean?

Question

Jesus taught us to pray: 'Our Father, may your name be holy ( or sanctified). Let your kingdom come...your will be done on earth as it is in heaven' (Mat 6:9,10)

Questions: Why pray that God's name be sanctified or be made holy, who sullied it?

What is the name of God, and why is that name not found in many bibles?

Why did Jesus say: May your kingdom COME. Why not : May your kingdom Go Up (many anyway say we shall go to heaven)

Why did he pray: may your will be done on earth? Whose will is being done here anyways?

Since these are biblical questions I will consider only Biblical answers, fair enough?

Answer 1

Satan made wild accusations about God. He sullied God’s name together w/ his human followers who blasphemes God. Satan said that God was a liar, that he is w/holding the best knowledge to humans. ( Genesis 3:5)

The name of God, is Jehovah. ( Exodus 6:3, King James). It is not found in many bibles because many translators followed an erroneous Jewish tradition (of not pronouncing God’s name) , as admitted on the preface of many Bibles. They are like those prophets who would like people to forget God’s name. ( Jeremiah 23:27)

Jesus quoted Psalm 37:29, when he said that the meek shall inherit the earth. Jesus even said that ‘no man has gone to heaven’. ( John 3:13) God’s kingdom was once represented by Jerusalem ( the capital of the Davidic kingdom) here on earth. That is why Revelations 21:2-4 says that God’s kingdom ( the New Jerusalem) shall come—meaning rule the earth—and make it once more a paradise. Here on paradise earth no one will get sick, die, or have misery. The Bible says that God’s people will build houses and have enough food here on earth. ( Isaiah 65:20-22)

Today, Satan rules the world. ( Proof? Just read all the blasphemes found here at YA! ). This is according to 2Corin 4:4, and Revelations 12:9.

Answer 2

1. His name is already Holyin the heavenlies, but his name is to be proclaoimed Holy on the Earth so that men can be saved.

2. God has many names which are found in every translations. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are One and Isaiah 9:6 says "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." those are some of his names. Other names are in Genesis 22:14, Exodus 17:15, and Judges 6:24.

3. the bible says let your kingdom come, because the ible declare that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. And when Christ comes back for his Bride, the new kingdom will be established. The kingdom of Heaven.

4. The will of man is being done on earth. Even Jesus didn't desire to go to the cross initially. HE asked His father in heaven that if there be another way to let this cup pass. So that tell you that the will of man is not perfect. God knows to do what is necessary even when we want to do what we feel.

Fair!!!!!

Answer 3

I think the answers to those questions are not too difficult.
"holy" or "sanctified" means "set apart". We sanctify His name when we use it respectfully.
In the original Greek New Testament, the Hebrew tetragram (without vowels) occasionally used in the Old Testament the Old Testament is consistently translated Kurios ("the Lord"). So Christians today feel they can't do any better than imitate the Apostles. It was a descriptive name referring to God's absolute sovereignty. "I am that I am", or, in other words, "the Absolute".
Most times that word is used in the Old Testament, it refers to a description fulfilled in the person of Jesus.
He said "Your kingdom come", which could also be translated: "may your kingdom keep on coming" - continuous present. God's kingdom came in Jesus Christ. May it fill the whole world!
He said "your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven" - showing that His will is always done in Heaven. We want His will done on earth, implying that we want to actively and joyfully submit to His will. God's will is not always being done on earth, even though in His sovereignty He takes everything into account as He accomplishes His greater will. But, for instance, can I pray: "your will be done on earth..." and steal form the grocery store? Can I pray: "your will be done..." and hate my neighbour? Can I say: "your will be done" and oppress the immigrants and refugees that come into my country, and yell at the politicians to "do something about them" (meaning "get rid of them")?

Answer 4

Satan sullied God's name by accusing Him of being a liar. Genesis 3:4.
God's name is (in Hebreux) Yahweh.
(in English) Jehovah.
It is found time and time again in older versions of the Bible, but in the last 100 years, there has been an effort to play it down. Strange, eh?
Jesus said 'come' in the sense of 'arrive', come into existence.
BTW we don't go to heaven.
According to Psalm 37:29, where is our future?
The greater influence on the earth, at the moment, is Satan's.
That's what 1 John 5:19 says.
God has actually stepped back. He is quite active at this time, but in a 'behind-the-scenes' manner.
Jesus said it best:
"Broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." Matthew 7:13,14.
So, don't look for satisfying answers in the major religions.

Answer 5

You are using a modern version of that prayer, which doesn't quite convey the original intention. The most well-known version from the King James Bible reads like this.
"Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come; thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."
In the Old Testament, the name of God is said to be Yahweh, which was anglicized to Jehovah.
The second sentence is a plea for God's Kingdom to come to Earth so that man will have everlasting peace.

Answer 6

you need to read the rest of the passage , Jesus was asked if it was right to ask for things in prayer ,

Jesus said do not concern your self with such things , are you not worth more then a sparrow , and yet god provides for them .

Jesus said you should pray like this ( the lords prayer )

howled be the name ( your name is holy )

gods name is Jehovah's
god tells Daniel my name is Jehovah god

because the kingdom of god is not here on earth , look at all the sin in this world nd man kind has fallen from the grace of god , this is why Christ came to earth , to offer him self as a path back to god

remember what good Friday is truly about

Answer 7

1. You are giving God praise in that part. Saying that He is holy.
2. God needs no name for He is THE God.
3. One day Jesus will come for us. Jesus is "the kingdom".
4. Man's will is what is being done here. In that part you are saying you want to follow God's plan.

That is my personal interpretation of the Lord's Prayer. Of course, it is very much a possibility that I am wrong but that is the way I see it.

Answer 8

The name of God was never sullied. Sanctified can also mean "set apart as sacred." This is like Jesus saying "may your name continue to be set apart from all others, as sacred."

The name of God consisted of four consonants in the original hebrew, YHWH, translated in the modern day as Yahweh, and in English as Jehovah. Most Bibles keep this name in a few key places still, such as Psalm 83:18.

Jesus asked for God's kingdom to come, and for his will on earth to be done, because God's plan for mankind is not life in heaven for all of us, but rather to restore the earth to his originally planned condition, and for humans to live on it forever. (Psalm 37:11,29)

Answer 9

-Gods name needs to be sanctified because Satan challenged his authority in the garden of eden.He made it seem that God was unfair to with hold the fruit and the knowledge for himself.

-Gods name Jehovah is in the original text some 7000 times, superstition on the part of early translators took it out.

-The earth will be made new and the meek will inherit it and reside forever upon it...the government ruling over these people on earth will be gods kingdom.Rev 5:10" and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God,and they are to rule as kings over the earth"

- Satans will is being done right now 1 John 5:19 "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one"

Answer 10

1-It means that you, as the prayer sayer, realize that his name is holy.
2-The old testament did not name God, in fact it was a sin to try and name him. Yahweh is the common name used but he really was not given a name other than 'I am'
3-Kingdom come means when the kingdom of God returns to earth.
4-May God's will be done
