Ok. The only reason I'm answering this is not because I know your listening or even in the slightest way wanting to learn the TRUTH, but I know there are a few others here that are listening and hopefully trying to understand this issue about who Jehovah is and who his son Jesus is. But no thanks to you and your mumbo jumbo and constantly trying your best to dilute the truth, it does exist.
What is Jesus saying here? What is Jesus's role between us and his Father? Is he not our mediator or ambassador and spokesman and the one who petitions God with our prayers? Is he not called the Word?
If you can comprehend those terms and apply them to Jesus then you might somehow get a clue as to what Jesus is saying by asking him the things we pray about.
At the end of our prayers do we not say " in Jesus's name, amen"?
So by praying thru Jesus, he then takes those prayers to his Father just as an ambassador would take a message to a President. We would not doubt use that ambassadors name in that process would we not? And as the only avenue to talk to God we would go thru Jesus to get that accomplished.
It is not Jesus that answers our petitions and does the action but he is the petitioner to his FATHER for us so that we may be heard.
Again if this sinks in at all, it is not Jesus we are praying to for answers but it is to his Father that we are speaking to by the way of Jesus.
I know this messes up your trinity thingy but that's the way it is...
