For the record . . . there is only ONE God, period.
There are MANY gods in the Bible.
It's a simple undeniable fact. Every claiming otherwise should consider reading the Bible.
Everything not of this world is a god.
Sure there is just one Supreme God, just one Creator God, just one Yahweh, but that doesn't mean there aren't any others.
The fact that you are human doesn't mean you are the only one.
I quoted a few verses but there are lots and lots more.
But, yes, when a Christian prays to God it's clear it's the Supreme One. That's why I wrote God looks at the heart and fully accepts the prayer.
Let me quote a couple of verses to you: Mat 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Faith was the key in their healing.
Simply stated by none other than the one who knew: Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Having faith in God means trusting, relying and being comforted that God will come through, as promised.
Act 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him (meaning Jesus) hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Absolutely not!! Jesus' faith was unwavering to the bitter end making your and mine as His.
Should find comfort in the following verse: Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
God, by which ever name one may know Him is not foreign to our hearts, but is ever ready to listen to us and give us his ear and heart.
There are many more I could quote you but let me end it with the following verse which is the product of faith once gained: Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Close your eyes, envision God looking at you, and pour out your heart to Him for He has promised to hear you.
I am reminded of the words of the blind man who had been healed by Jesus in John chapter 9:[30] The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. [31] Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Acts chapter 10 tells how the prayers of the gentile, Cornelius, came up as a memorial to him, leading the Lord to contact Peter to go to the gentiles.
Jesus said in Matt. 5:[6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [with the Holy Spirit if we have a mind to obey God (Acts 5:32)]
If God hears the righteous(love how some of you are accusing me of being sinful,or it doesn't come from the heart,but whavever) then how come everyone says their prayers are answered by God?
Muslims say their prayers are answered by God.
Baptists,JW,and so on.
Each call him different names,so what gives?
Plus,what does this mean"our father who art in heaven,hallowed by they name".
Exactly whose name is jesus referring to?
It's a simple undeniable fact. Every claiming otherwise should consider reading the Bible.

This is what I always thoought too.
How do we distinguish Jesus 's father God from other gods?
By other gods,we don't mean good either.
Isn't the god of this system Satan?
Yes. By serving Him. "Worship God alone. Him alone shall you serve."
That is why so many so called prayers are not answered.
"The Lord hears the prayer of the righteous but He is far from the wicked."
So, obviously the righteous call on the name of the Lord. Problem is people think His name is like a human name but as God said His ways are not like mans ways.
If that's the case,then we wouldn't need Jesus.
I thought Jesus came for sinners?

Jerseygal4u, what do you believe about the God you pray to? Do you believe this God is love and desires for you to experience that love, and to love God, to love others, and to love yourself? As I see it, anyone who prays to that God is praying to the God that is Jesus' Father, the God who is the Father "from whom every family...derives its name".
