Christians: How do you interpret the gospels' account that Jesus prayed to god?
Christians: How do you interpret the gospels' account that Jesus prayed to God, that he referred to God directly as "father," calling him "father," and that jesus seems to be petioning god and asking questions of god as if the two have distinct intellects, in light of the doctrines that Jesus was fully god, and that Jesus was fully man, that god is one, that both jesus and the father are omnimopent and omnicient, etc. If god knows everyyhing and is all powerful and is incapaple of deception, etc. and is singular and so forth, why does god pray to himself, petitioning that the cup of suffering and death might p by him, or praying to himself, asking "why have you (I) for saken me (myself). The gospell themselves seem to cry out that Jess and god are not of the same mind, and that neither is Jesus omnipotent, but rather prays to god as we do. Personally, I am more inclined to deny the accuracy of the gospels than deny the divinity of Jesus and the singularity of god. How do your reconcile this satisfactorily?
