Re: Are we all praying to the same God?
GBU, I think there's something missing here. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. All the so-called gods that men believe in and worship, are not gods at all. Some time back on some Christain broadcast a friend heard this and related it to me. "We need to pray so we can counteract the prayers of Islam". False gods are dumb, deaf, and blind. Does Christianity believe in any truth anymore?
Read the whole account of 1 Kings 18:
1 Kings 18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Evidently the Greeks were so superstitious that they didn't want to neglect from worshipping all the gods there was, or could be, so they erected an altar to one they may have left out! Man can worship anything he chooses, but according to God's Word there is only ONE that hears prayers.
And His name is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
