Praying to Jesus

[Runningman]

It is time for me to demonstrate what I am asserting.

There.

Just did it.

Goodness. You can't even explain what you believe. You're just making noise. When you have something let me know.

 

[Fred]

Goodness. You can't even explain what you believe.

I just proved there is another way to express a truth claim.

Scripture contradicts your claims.

The verses are correct but you're conflating one person with the other. That's a serious error. God is not named Jesus, Yeshua, Immanuel, etc in the Bible. Your argument seems to hinge on the word "Lord" which is a title. So you're conflating names of two different persons and titles when there is no relation one to the other.

I still have no idea how you can't understand that. It's a genuine marvel. Let's see if we can get to the root of it.

Why do you think Jesus is YHWH when Jesus is the cornerstone that YHWH laid? How did you get to that conclusion when Jesus' name isn't YHWH and miscellaneous other passages clearly place YHWH and Jesus beside each other and demonstrate they aren't the same person? Psalm 2:7 and Psalm 110:1 for example.

Read the text not your theology

Romans 10:9–13 (NIV) — 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
It's the lord Jesus you must call on
Acts 4:10–12 (NIV) — 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

The text is inspired scripture. Your theology is not.

I've already addressed these and don't agree with your interpretation. I have presented a counter in the form of some questions that should help clarify why you think what you do in a way that addresses the contradictions in your statements.

Here it is again:

Why do you think Jesus is YHWH when Jesus is the cornerstone that YHWH laid? How did you get to that conclusion when Jesus' name isn't YHWH and miscellaneous other passages clearly place YHWH and Jesus beside each other and demonstrate they aren't the same person?
