What does "Deity of Christ" mean?

[Runningman]

It doesn't say to pray "only" to the Father.

Next....

Jesus only taught his disciples to pray to the Father. In Acts 1 they prayed to the Father. Deal with it.

 

[Fred]

In John 20:17

That's not John 20:28.

 

[Fred]

Jesus only taught his disciples to pray to the Father.

Nope.

See John 14:14.

 

[Runningman]

That's not John 20:28.

??

John 20:17 is the context. How many times do you need to see this before it sinks in?

 

[Runningman]

Nope.

See John 14:14.

Jesus taught his disciples to only pray to the Father. John 14:14 doesn't say pray to Jesus.

Matt 6
6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
9So then, this is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

John 20:28 is found in the Bible.

You're welcome.

 

[Fred]

Jesus taught his disciples to only pray to the Father. John 14:14 doesn't say pray to Jesus.

For people to ask Jesus who is in heaven anything is a prayer to Jesus.

Simple.

LOL. Delusional. John 20:28 is about Thomas saying his God is the Father.

Simple.

If someone asks you for something they aren't praying to you. Get real man.

 

[Runningman]

Yet we still have Thomas' God being explicitly identified as the Father in John 20:17. Thomas has no other God aside from the true God.

Jesus only instructed his disciples to pray to the Father.

Matt 6
6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
9So then, this is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

I'm not in heaven.
Get a clue, man.

Moot point. Asking someone for something in heaven isn't praying to them. We only pray to the Father according to Matt 6:6,9. Got it?

In all of scripture Jesus is never prayed to. He isn't God. Get over it.

Yes, it is.

How's your communication with others besides God in heaven coming along?

 

[grace2]

Acts 1:24-25 is still there.

And your spreading heresies is still very much alive.

 

[Fred]

You dodged Acts 1:24-25 again.

It isn't going away no matter how much you try to ignore it.

The only "Lord" the disciples prayed to is the Father. Jesus never taught them to pray to himself. That isn't a Christian doctrine.

 

[Runningman]

Yes, it is.

No it's not. You don't have a single verse about "praying" to Jesus. This is getting hilarious. You've taken an embarrassingly indefensible position here. I am owning you.

How's your communication with others besides God in heaven coming along?

Great.

 

[Fred]

You are still in denial of the evidence.
Get help.

Jesus never taught them to pray to himself.

See John 14:14.

 

[Fred]

Great.

List some who you talk to that are in heaven.
