How should you address God?
This is interesting...
Quote:Has the KJB kept Christian language stuck in the 17th Century? "We thank thee, O God, for the manifest blessings that thou hast vouchsafed unto us," is one example of such a passage. "It doesn't help to wear a hat on your head if your posterior is exposed." ~ PW "Don't make crazy your normal and then wonder why nobody agrees with you." ~ EC |

RE: How should you address God?
Generally when I pray, out loud or privately I address God as a friend... I don't over-formalize it, because I don't think that's what He wants. He wants us to have a personal, close relationship with Him, and if I have a close relationship with someone, I am not going to say their name 1000 times or over-formalize a conversation or greeting.

Try this for an address:
God 1 Avenue of the Saints New Jerusalem, Heaven. I haven't figured out how to send an email to God yet. God has been faithful and loving me for over 18000 days. I think that He will be faithful and loving to me today. |

RE: How should you address God?
Dearest thou Lord, we justeth ask...
I sometimes pray to Jesus, or God, and sometimes, when I am not thinking about it too much, I say dumb things like "Jesus, thank you Father". I think He what I mean. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; - Titus 2:11-12 |

RE: How should you address God?
I kid you not and I know there are those on here who will know who I am talking about when I say this. There was a guy in our bunker who prayed thusly:
"Father, Lord God we just...(supplication)... Father God. And Father Lord God we just...(request/praise/short account tally)...Father God. Thank you Father Lord God...(blessing)..Father God. Father Lord God...(short account verification) and Father God....(apology) and Lord God... and Father God we just...(supplication) and Please Father Lord God we just....(praise/short acount verification). In Jesus Name Amen" If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. "There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” -from Lord Acton's Axiom “Yippee ki-yay, Mother Fundamentalist” |
