Why would Jesus have to pray? Could it be that he had a earthly body and mind, and that that was praying to the "God mind " that he had?
Blessings:
Jesus praying, is the topic, correct?
Jesus, CHRIST or the WORD who became flesh and dwelt among us and SOME of us behold HIS glory, was a WAYSHOWER or a Prime Example. an Instructor, Master Teacher!
The Wayshower was showing the WAY!
The Teacher was instruction HIS WAY by HIS WORD to those who want to be HIS CREATION!
So the WORD became as like us to give us the Keys, HIS WORDs, to HIS Kingdom, so we could "follow" the WAY back to the RULE and Reign of HIS WORDs, as HIS "restored" CREATION!
BUT, in order to stay on Topic, Christ the WORD, said Joh 9:31
"Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth HIS will, him HE heareth.Since GOD, the SAVIOR, the JUDGE, the Example said
"Now we know that God heareth not sinners," and ONLY the prayer of a righteous man avails, who is doing the will of the Living WORD, than the question is not WHO is GOD, but are you doing the WILL of GOD for HIM to "hear" your "prayers?
Since GOD does NOT hear "sinners," who do you think is answering their prayers?
NOT the GOD of CREATION? HUH?
And since the WORD, WHO is GOD, stated only they who do HIS Will, are they HE "hears" and just ONE mention of HIS Will is 1Th 4:3
"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification . . " Since GOD inspiried these WORDS, for HIS followers which state. . .2Th 2:13
"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth."With to Prime WORDage of
"salvation through sanctification" being the Will of the CREATOR!
So it is really not What is GOD, that is more important, as are you doing HIS WILL, HIS WAY for HIM to "hear" your prayers?
Hope that is more on Topic to your question!
Blessed are they who the WORD Rules!
