Core Christianity: Tough Questions Answered

If Jesus is God, Why Did He Pray to the Father?

host Adriel Sanchez aired August 10, 2022

Episode 1029 Show Notes 

From the Show

The Son, Jesus, prays to the Father. Think of his earthly ministry in his humiliation, in his incarnation. This doesn’t take away from his glory or deity in any sense, but he is distinct from the Father. God is not one person who wears different masks.

  3. Did Mary live a sinless life?
  4. I struggle with psychotic delusions and they prevent me from having an assurance of salvation. What can I do?
