You pray to a man? Is that like praying to Mary.
Yes, I pray to a particular man....


For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;


...don't skip the mediator in your prayers.

You cannot bypass what God has put between us and Him.

God is telling us here that we can only come to Him though this mediator.

We are too filthy to go before Him without His human son in the process.

So Catholics pray to a woman and you pray to a man. Hmmm.
I pray to God in Jesus/Yeshua's Name.
You skip the mediator.

Bad idea.

I pray to Jesus and his inner God honors my prayer.

How can anyone pray to God and not Jesus, realizing that all of God is inside Jesus, bodily?

That is flat out rude to Jesus.

I said, "I pray to God in Jesus/Yeshua's Name." How is this "skipping the mediator"? I don't think you have a clue.

His "inner God"? He is God. You don't seem to believe much of the Bible. Why is that?

You don't understand the Godhead.

Col 2:9 explains that all of what God consists of is inside the body of jesus.

So, how do you pray to God in the name of the man that God is inside, and ignore speaking to the man that houses God?

That makes Jesus God.
Precisely. it makes Jesus God by default.

And he is still a man that is an independent individual man with a God.

By default, the man Christ Jesus was made God after he resurrected.

Irony?

I don't think you have a clue what you are saying. Jesus is God! It's quite simple.

Then why can't you just say "Jesus is God"?

God was made God? Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, man was made God by default.

All of God is inside the man bodily.

It's not complicated.

If Col 2:9 happened to your resurrected spirit body, you would be God by default too.

Big stuff(Col 2:9).

You don't understand John 1 The Word was God.
Sure I understand the spoken word of God that made everything in verse 3(Gen 1) is God.

You think Jesus is God's mouth?
