No, I just want people to stop trying to convert me to Christianity, and I want people to stop spending my tax dollars to promote their religion.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

What that means is a person doesn't need a priest to make sacrifices for them anymore.

A person doesn't go to a man in a box and tell them how they have sinned.

You pray in Jesus' name but you are praying to God.

What tax dollars? You have curious choose to neglect that. Sure.

But for the rest, wah, wah, wah. I have Mormons and JW's knocking on my door. I have the DNC calling me and asking for money, blah, blah.

flan

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Yes. Jesus is God.

Part of the Trinity.

So who was Jesus talking to when He was in the garden asking God to let the cup pass Him?

Who was He talking to when He was on the cross asking His Father to forgive them of their sins?

Yes. They are three in one. But they are three.

I'm not going to get into an argument over this.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost.

Three in one.

And each distinctly talked about in the Bible.

Three in one.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I think Lilly is saying that Jesus taught us to pray. And, Jesus taught us to pray to Our Father.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I think the Trinity is one of the mysteries of God and His ways are higher than our ways. Yes, one God. Monotheistic. But, three in one.

Absolutely we are to pray that prayer--but it is far from the only example of prayer used in the Bible or Christianity.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

True but they prayed to the Father did they not? They didn't pray to the Holy Spirit either. Personally, I don't think it matters, but I understand the distinction that Lilly is trying to make.

Not necessarily--other than in the same way a prayer to God is a prayer to the trinity in its entirety. The Bible is replete with examples of prayers to Jesus.
