He was emphasizing the fact that God is his father, as he is ours. He is the father of our spirits, just as Jesus Christ is our spirit brother. Everyone who has lived, lives now, and will yet live is our spirit siblings. We are all one big family.

What is the prayer of the publican?

The prayer of the publican is found in the Bible in Luke 18:13. It is a humble prayer where the tax collector acknowledges his sins and asks for God's mercy, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner." This prayer highlights the importance of humility and repentance in one's relationship with God.


Do all the Gospels record Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane?

A:In the three synoptic gospels, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He suffered alone and in agony, asking God that, if possible, he take this cup (his destiny to be crucified) away. In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, his last words on the cross, when he finally realised that God had not heard his prayers in the garden, were, "My God. My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?" Luke's Gospel has the prayer in the Garden, but not Jesus' later realisation that God had forsaken him.For theological reasons, John's Gospel does not have the unanswered prayer in the Garden, rather a triumphant prayer before reaching the Garden.

No. ANSWER: God has no reason to answer an unbelievers prayer UNLESS it is a prayer for salvation. After salvation God will answer your prayers. You do not have to be baptized to have your prayers answered. Your prayers are addressed to God in Jesus' name. If you do not belong to God through Jesus Christ God will not hear you.

Who is Jesus praying to if he is God?

Everyone's religious beliefs are different. At least as far as I can tell from the teachings of modern Christian churches, Jesus isn't God. He is the Son of God. Note how he begins his prayer in the Garden of Gathsemone with "Father..." My church has taught me that we are are all children of God. Jesus isn't special. He's DIFFERENT. He was selected by God to go on an errand and perform a task similar to that of a prophet, to preach the word of God to the people of Israel. To this day, he is by many as, "God's Only Begotten Son."When Jesus was asked directly who he was ,he replyed"before Abraham was, I am". They immediately tryed to kill him. Why? Because when moses asked God who he should tell the people sent him,God replyed, tell them " I AM that I AM" sent you.
