I'm not saying God should answer all prayers, I'm asking why in the world he wouldn't answer this one. It came from Jesus, who according to mainstream Christianity, is God himself. So, if God prays a prayer to himself, for the express purpose of making the world know that he sent himself, why would God take that prayer from himself and not answer it?

But if Jesus is the son of God or God the sun, shouldn't his prayers be a slam dunk?

So, if God prays a prayer to himself, for the express purpose of making the world know that he sent himself, why would God take that prayer from himself and not answer it?

And what makes you think God did not or has not answered the prayers of Jesus? Because it hasn't manifested yet?

Spiritual realities are different from physical realities. It takes faith and patient to convert spiritual realities into physical realities.

Hebrews 6v12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

God has already answered the prayers of Jesus and made the church one in Christ and in the Spirit. But the work of maturing the body of Christ into the physical reality of what He has made us will take a while. Just as it takes a born-again christian a while to mature and begin to act like who he has become in Spirit.

God told Abraham;

Gen 17v5 -Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations I HAVE MADE THEE.

God said He has made Abraham a father of many nations. He said; "has made" (past tense).

Yet it took Abraham one year after that to become, a father of a child. It took Abraham 500 years later to to become a father of a nation under Moses. And it took Abraham 1500 years later for him to become father of many nations in Christ.

But when did Abraham become "Father of many nations"? From the moment God said He has made him a father of many nations.

It takes a while for spiritual realities to become physical realities. But if God has said and done it, it is as much a reality as any other definition of reality can be.

The church will indeed be made one physically before Jesus returns.

Eph 4v13 -Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Christ is coming for a glorious church, and a glorious church He will meet when He comes.. The church will be presented to Christ as a glorious church. The Holy Spirit will make sure of that.

Eph 5v27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

God does things spiritually first, in heavenly places,

Eph 1v3 -Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

... and then He makes them manifest physically. And mosttimes, the physical part has a process and takes a while.

Everything Jesus asked the Father has been done, and will be made manifest. The Father never says "No" to Jesus.

Shalom
