David did not pray "in Jesus name"

Post #1

Post by Elijah John »

We have many examples of the prayers of King David in the book of Psalms. They are all addressed to the YHVH God, and none end with "in Jesus name, amen".

For debate, in spite of this omission, did God hear and answer David's prayers?

If so, how important is it to pray "in Jesus name"?

And come to think of it, the Synoptic Jesus did not teach his disciples to pray "in Jesus name we pray". Only to hallow the Father's name.

If praying "in Jesus name" is actually something that Jesus actually taught, why did Matthew and Luke not record it?
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

God is called by his works. As we will be. He is Elohim, when he judges and Jehovah, when He heals. So, yes, the moniker is unimportant. Just wanted to get get that out there.
