Alot of persons & even so called men of God direct their prayers to Jesus, i think it's wrong cos wat d bible teaches is dat we should only direct our prayers to God thru Jesus. Not to Jesus. Wat do u think?

Bit of a minefield there - wasn't there a major schism over the nature of Yeshuah and whether he and Yahweh are the same being or something like that?

well, the bible make a it pafectly clear dat the 2 are very distinct persons. Jehovah is the God of Jesus Christ, dats y even Jesus prayed to him. John 17:34, 20:17: Jesus hv limitation matt 24:36. Jesus have a beginnin, but God does nt, collosian 1:15-16, Rev 3:14.

God is greater than Jesus, 1 corritian 15:24-24. The bible then instructs us to direct our prayr to God Jehovah, Thru only Jesus. John 14:6,14. 1 john 5:14, luke 11:2.

Yes... According to St. John 10 vs 30 says I AM MY FATHER ARE ONE, that means the are one. Remember God sent his only son (JESUS) to die bcos of our sins.

yes dear, like u said God sent His son. So jesus is God son, not God himself.  & they're one in dat Christ is totally submissive to God will, so they agree perfectly. Matt 26:39.

We were brought to God through Jesus. When Jesus died, he descended into hell and wrestle against principality and power. He paralyze the devil and make a public spectacle of them by triumphing over them in it. After defeating Satan, God gave him a name above every other name; At the name of Jesus every kneel should bow.

It is not proper to pray to God through Jesus, We can only pray to God using the name of Jesus. One of the wrong prayer is...... through Jesus Christ We or I prayed. The proper way to pray is FATHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS..... ask God what you want and end it by saying... in Jesus name We or I prayed.

Jesus...being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God; but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant" (Phil.2:5-11). Jesus said I and my Father are one, anyone who has seen me has see the father. The book of John 1:15 will give you a better understanding of Jesus.
The Bible said three bear records in Heaven: Father, word, spirit and this three is made up of one God. The book of john said;
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
4 Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.
5 That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome.

If you Jesus is not God as you claim, What else is Jesus? The Bible said; The totality and the deity of God rested upon Jesus.

i tink Phil 2:4-11 xplains it all. Tho he 's Godlike, he did nt tak dat as an xcuse to count himself as equal to God. But ge submited himself to God's will. Pls tak time to read all my cited scriptures. The bible is very clear on it. Jesus is the powerful mighty Son of God. Unlike satan, he subjected himself to do his God will. God created all tins' includin Jesus 1st, then other tins thru him. God is d highest Being so he alone is to be worshiped, even by Jesus.
