Gotcha. Are you saying

by Joel Richardson - 07/06/2006 - 13:32

Gotcha. Are you saying that it is actually wrong to pray to Jesus? Or just over-emphasized within evangelicalism?

Don’t forget John 14:14. The most literal translation would be:

“If you ask me anything in the name of me I will do it.” Jesus John 14:14

Or interestingly enough the NIV doesn’t miss the double Me that most translations leave out:

You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. NIV

I really appreciate Glenn Miller AKA J.P. Holding over at Tektonics or Christian Think-Tank He has a few relevant things to say.
