Jesus was never prayed to once in the Bible

[Runningman]

Jesus before coming to earth existed eternally as God in heaven... made himself become as a man ... as the means to die for all mankind.

What you are describing is called an incarnation. The word for incarnation doesn't exist in the Bible. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary according to Matthew 1:18. What your describing isn't Scripture.

So? What is your problem with all the nit picking of certain words to drag out such a controversy?

Words and their meanings are important for an accurate understanding.

Jesus said.....

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? ​

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:9​

What are you trying to achieve?

In Trinitarianism, the Son is not the Father. Jesus was not saying he is the Father, but referring to knowing the Father. "Seeing" vs. "Blindness" is often in regards to knowing/understanding and not understanding and that's how it would be in this context.

There is no so-called "truth" that contradicts Jesus' teachings. He only taught about praying to the Father. Find a different interpretation that aligns with the Bible.

Yet, what you say does not prove that Jesus is God.
We are also not to pray to God the Holy Spirit.

We do not pray to the Father because He is the only one who is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God.
We pray to the Father because we are mere humanity. God established a protocol for our limited minds a way to pray.

What you are describing is called an incarnation. The word for incarnation doesn't exist in the Bible. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary according to Matthew 1:18. What your describing isn't Scripture.

Chapter and verse was not found in Scripture.
Your quoting using chapter and verse is not Scripture.

How's that for hindering progress?

There are also verses about saints being glorified with not mention of God.

Saints are not the proper recipient of a doxology.

Your comparison fails.

There is no so-called "truth" that contradicts Jesus' teachings. He only taught about praying to the Father. Find a different interpretation that aligns with the Bible.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 is still there.

And?

Christ does!

Of course! The Son is not the Father....

Why are we arguing over this?

Some just NEED to argue, and will find something to argue over.
