Janosky:this is incoherent, moses asked God what to do and God told him. The Israelites never told moses to save them unlike Stephen that prayed to Jesus to recieve his spirit. |

DappaD: it doesn't matter what greek word is used, stephen on earth dying and asking the Lord Jesus in heaven to receive his spirit, is praying to Lord Jesus just like asking Father God for something is praying to Father God, praying to God = talking to God part of praying to God is to supplicate - to ask: prayed προσεύχομαι proseuchomai pros-yoo'-khom-ahee to pray to God, that is, supplicate, worship: - pray (X earnestly, for), make prayer. and i'm sure stephen was earnest in his prayer request oh duh you false jw's are twisters/liars 1 Like |

Emusan: According to Mr LIENUS & Mr Barnes, Jesus is God the Father they pray to. @ Matthew 6:9, the injunction for praying ; "Our Father who art in heaven" No dey Mr LIENUS Bible Mr LIENUS & Barnes FALSELY claim @ Acts 7:59 means that @Acts25:11,12,25 ,Paul was praying to Roman emperors. Greek 1941 EPIKALEO is the same meaning. Not prayer to Jesus. Who was your Almighty God Jesus praying to? Emusan: Mr LIENUS in sifia pains.. The word "God" is NOT in Acts7:59, cry me a river.

Janosky: Janosense the royal ranting... Mr LIENUS & Barnes FALSELY claim @ Acts 7:59 means that @Acts25:11,12,25 ,Paul was praying to Roman emperors. To call upon is to get the attention of that person. Apostle Paul appeals the Roman Emperors for their attention. Stephen APPEALED to JESUS Christ to receive his spirit, which is what ONLY GOD can do. Deluded Greek 1941 EPIKALEO is the same meaning. So what was Stephen doing? Who was your Almighty God Jesus praying to? The Father!
And the same Barnes said: They stoned Stephen, invoking, or calling upon, and saying, Lord Jesus," etc. That is, he was engaged "in prayer" to the Lord Jesus. The word is used to express "prayer" in the following, among other places: 2 Corinthians 1:23, "I call God to witness"; 1 Peter 1:17, "And if ye call on the Father," etc.; Acts 2:21, "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord," etc.; Acts 9:14; Acts 22:16; Romans 10:12-14. This was, therefore, an act of worship; a solemn invocation of the Lord Jesus, in the most interesting circumstances in which a man can be placed - in his dying moments." ----ALBERT BARNES NOTE Mr Janosense hasn't proved that the word wasn't used as prayer in 2 Corinthians 1:23, 1 Peter 1:17, Acts 2:21 e.t.c |

Do you read your Bible out of one corner of your eye or you're just trying to be mischievous here? Because whenever issues arose, it was always Moses they were pointing fingers at and it was always Moses and Aaron they were complaining to but Jehovah took it personal that it was him whom that they were disrespecting. Numbers 14:2,11; 20:2-5 Moses was the person the Israelites could relate with easily that's why they pleaded with him to approach Jehovah on their behalf. Exodus 20:19 Even when the Israelites in later times requested for a visible king and complained bitterly against Samuel, another of Jehovah's representative, Jehovah said: ““Listen to everything the people say to you; for it is not you whom they have rejected, but it is I whom they have rejected as their king” 1Samuel 8:1-8 So Jehovah has been the one who takes responsibility even though he gives authority to his subjects, that includes Jesus Christ. livingchrist: The bolded is a misconception. Because Peter and Paul said quoted Joel 2:32 which said: “And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved” Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13 1 Like |

Re: Stephen Prayed To Jesus Christ, Who Else Do We Pray To But God! by johnw47: 10:11pm On Dec 06, 2020 |
AntiChristian: the Word(logos) doesn't mean Jesus in greek it means: something said however the Word became man - the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. |

DappaD: you false jw's love to twist and lie about the things God inspired to be written Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” paul was clearly talking about calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you only have to go back a few verses: Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. and just as stephen called out to Jesus and confessed that Jesus is Lord: Act 7:59 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” |

MaxInDHouse:owning a house, having your name written on the document instructing people on how to build it, does not translate to building your house by yourself. Note the whole creation was created for Jesus also and for a fact Jesus is also the owner of all things. Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:. For you to do something yourself mean you actually participated in the action. Job 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Job record that God alone created the heavens, no other being was with him doing the work. Both Isaiah and Job corroborated with each other. God alone actually created things by himself with no other being with him. |
Re: Stephen Prayed To Jesus Christ, Who Else Do We Pray To But God! by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:34am On Dec 07, 2020 |
I'm not doubting the fact that Jesus created everything else, Verse 15 says "Jesus is the image of God (just like Adam) and the FIRST BORN of all creation" compared to Proverbs 8:22 So evidently Jesus was the only creature God made by himself that's why he is called God's only begotten SON {John 3:16; 1John 49} God has many sons {Genesis 6:1; Job 1:6} but all of them came through the handwork of his first born whom he created alone! Please we've been through this countless times so if you feel you know better, go out there preach and teach those who listen to you just make sure a family of Peace loving worshipers is formed {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} that's the purpose of Jesus' work, God is about to destroy all enemies of Peace {Psalms 37:9-11} so what really matters is a global family of peace loving worshipers not worthless arguments of no benefits!

Re: Stephen Prayed To Jesus Christ, Who Else Do We Pray To But God! by livingchrist: 4:55am On Dec 07, 2020 |
MaxInDHouse:quit perverting God's word. Jesus didnt create everything else rather he made all things. What is the greek word used for first born? It denotes preeminence not created first. David was called the firstborn king over kings of the earth it doesnt mean david was the first to be king. Proverb 8vv22, is only a poetry it does not literally mean God created wisdom. That is the reason why the word possessed was used The second line of proverb 8 vv22 made the first line very clear by saying was ordained from eternity. So evidently Jesus was the only creature God made by himself that's why he is called God's only begotten SON {John 3:16; 1John 49} God has many sons {Genesis 6:1; Job 1:6} but all of them came through the handwork of his first born whom he created alone!your submission is contradicting to Isaiah, job , John and paul's teachings. Jehovah formed the heavens alone, he did it himself means he did not instruct another person to carry out the action, John said nothing that was created could exist without Jesus meaning Jesus was never created. Please we've been through this countless times so if you feel you know better, go out there preach and teach those who listen to you just make sure a family of Peace loving worshipers is formed {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} that's the purpose of Jesus' work, God is about to destroy all enemies of Peace {Psalms 37:9-11} so what really matters is a global family of peace loving worshipers not worthless arguments of no benefits!

MaxInDHouse:John 1:1-2 first of all the word was God according to John 1vv1 not a God, this is plain and enough to convince the listener that the person with Jehovah is Jehovah also, so no other being was with him. |

MaxInDHouse: I've always told you people to stop using this line of argument, it's pure ignorance and fact lies. No LANDLORD who is not an Engineer will ever CLAIM "I built MY HOUSE ALL BY MYSELF" It's a shared ignorance and intellectual dishonesty to see a clear statement like that of "ALONE and ALL BY MYSELF" NLV: The Lord, Who makes you, bought you and saves you, and the One Who put you together before you were born, says, “I am the Lord, Who made all things. I alone spread out the heavens, and I alone spread out the earth. If God says "I ALONE...." And went further to explain what He did by "SPREAD OUT THE HEAVENS" Even Prov 8 supported this because the speaker clearly stated that it is God who was actually doing the work of creation and not THE SPEAKER. To claim other being helped God in creation is to give God's glory to a mere creatures. 1 Like |
