The Bible does not teach to pray to Jesus

[Runningman]

See Luke 9:40 and Luke 10:2 for help.

what about them.

 

[Runningman]

You are somewhat correct. But you have to consider to whom Jesus speaks words. For example, we are not to suppose that Christ's telling them to tithe herbs means that should do that too.

??

no idea what you're talking about.

So you don't have any teacings about praying to Jesus in the bible?

By the way, this is a Christian thread. If you don't have Christian teachings then don try to mislead us.

@Runningman and @Fred

Instead of laughing and mocking at each other, why don’t you try something more exciting?
For example… praying for each other. Look:
Tonight @Runningman could ask The Father to give @Fred one million dollars this Monday
By the same token, @Fred could ask Jesus to give @Runningman one million dollars this Monday.

If @Runningman gets the money, it will mean that @Fred was right. We must pray to Jesus.
If @Fred gets the money, it will mean that @Runningman was right. We must pray to The Father.
If both get the money, it will mean Jesus and The Father exchange classified information about the prayers They get.
If no one gets the million dollars, perhaps we must start praying to Virgin Mary.

I would have a hard time misleading beyond what you believe now. But I did edit that Jesus was talking to the Pharisees about tithing herbs. That does not mean we should grow herbs so we can tithe them. Scripture passages have context and that means we can learn from Jesus but not every teaching is too us. That can apply to Matt 5-7 too.

A terrible way to test what truth is.
See John 5:39 and Acts 17:11 instead.

God does unexpected things and generally does not like riches in my experience. What is important to God is the kingdom of heaven and righteousness. After that the money may or may not flow.

You have singled out a word that you propose means a prayer to Jesus but when it applies others you change positions. I think no one believes you.

When applied to Deity, it is prayer. However, in modern parlance, the phrase “pray tell” can be used in casual conversation toward anyone.

That is just begging the question. Where was it taught to pray to Jesus in Scripture? if it doesn't exist its's ok so say so. We are 109 pages of this and I am still waiting for someone to confess the truth.

Jesus is the Son of God, one of the Trinity, who incarnated and dwelt among humanity and became a sacrifice on our behalf. Someone who denies that will also deny the passages where people prayed to Jesus. We are taught by example in that case. If someone does not like that Jesus did not teach you a daily schedule and rules for daily prayer in a catechism for you, find yourself a religion that tells you everything to do.
your question has no merit in an honest discussion exploring the deity of Christ in the Godhead.

You will need to do better than that. How do you account for the fact that Jesus spent his time on earth telling people to pray to someone else?

You mean like praying to God when He is God, the son?
