LOGICAL QUESTIONS #part3# Question #: If Jesus is God, then why does he pray to God and call Him “the only true God” in John 17:3? John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. --> In this verse, Jesus Christ makes a clear distinction between “the only true God” and himself. Jesus called his Father “the only true God,” and that doesn’t leave any room for Jesus to also be “God.” Question #: If Jesus is God, why did he pray at all? Luke 6:12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. --> He would have been praying to himself, or another “part” of himself. Did he do it for our benefit alone???? To be an example for us? If Jesus were praying to himself, or another part of himself, then he was just “acting.” It wasn’t real prayer (the way we know it), because we don’t pray to ourselves, we pray to God. ;) Was Jesus just “acting” when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying to God that there be another way, that “if it is possible, that the cup be taken” from him? He was asking God if there was another way (i.e., another way beside dying a horrible death on a cross). --> So...If Jesus is God, then all of his prayers “to God” make him look rather ludicrous. Think it clearly :D
