The Request (pray)

First wich Lord ?  (Because my tablet write what it wants)

We call Jesus Christ the Lord as taught in the Bible.   He is Lord with a capital "L." Jesus is not only our Savior if we truly believe on Him as our personal Savior, but He is also our Lord.

May I ask which country you are originally from so I can perhaps understand your thinking more?  Thank you!

Ok. But if I am in a meeting (anywhere) and are a lot of people and I want to request at Holy God I have to find a bathroom or a closet ?

No, you do not need to always pray alone, you can pray with the others at church or elsewhere.   Jesus talked about praying in private in that section of Matthew because in those verses Jesus was saying some people just like to be seen as praying....that is, having pride about praying.  So He was warning us to not put on a show that we are praying.

When we pray at church or elsewhere, we are not doing it to be seen by others.  We are simply joining together in prayer to God.   God always looks at our hearts....He knows our hearts, the thoughts of our hearts.

Again, which country and religion are you originally from?   Knowing this will help us to understand you more.  Thanks.

Arguing with God's word is not wise.  It is there to help you.  Call Him Master if you would rather.  But Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  He is the big boss, the highest authority.  You  would not land in jail for calling Jesus "Lord" in most countries.  

Rom 10:9  that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

If you can't call Jesus "Lord", you are not a Christian.

I don't argue, in general with the words of Holy God. But I have questions at what I have to have answers.

Holy God is not against studying. How I can find the truth, not by studying ?

I come from former Communist Block, and because I studied their ideology, I did not believed in Communism or Socialism.

Do you can walk or drive on two different roads in some time ?

For that I have to study, for I know what road I take.

I don't have country and neither religion, because I don't believe in religion (s).

Do you can to walk or drive in same time on two different roads ?  - like on I95 and I35 ?

For that I have to study to see what road I take.

Emil, I see you come from a former Communist Block country.  That's good to explain why you are asking questions.

The difference with our faith in Christ (Christianity) is this:  with other religions a person tries to be good enough so they can earn their way to Heaven.  But the problem is no one can be good enough to be in the presence of the absolutely holy God.   We are sinners....this is why we all need the Savior Jesus Christ.   Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross so we can be reconciled with God.   Jesus rose from the dead.  He defeated sin, death and the devil.

When we realize our sins and our need for the Savior Jesus Christ, and we confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness.....then a miracle happens in our hearts/lives.  Jesus called it being born again in the Gospel of John, chapter 3.  God, the Holy Spirit, comes to dwell in our hearts....so we now also have a spiritual nature.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Romans 6:23

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.   Ephesians 2:8-9

In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; Ephesians 1:7

According  with the teachings of Lord Christ from Matthew 6:6 we have to go in a closet and shut the door.

It is some one who can to explain it ?

The verse is explained by the verses around it.. If we pray to God secretly then God will reward us openly..   We should not make prayer a public show of our religiosity.. Some people make a big show of their prayers to try and make others look upon them as being better or super Christians.. I can only imagine how this would provoke Gods wrath upon the person doing so..

Right today I was at a meeting, and before the meeting they prayed and you could hear everything, and they tanked for the food too before they started to eat, because someone brought food.

According with Deuteronomy 8:10 you have to tanks Holy God after you eat and you are full.

Them are Baptists, Catholics, and Calvinists (Methodists).

How is in secret when I could see and hear too ?

Then, what I can to believe ?

Believe Jesus.. Become a follower of Jesus.. Do not become a follower of other people..

 

Also people can pray in public without anyone knowing they are communicating with God.. God can read our minds and knows our thoughts.. So all we need to doi is just think our prayers and God can know them..  Actually God knows what we are going to pray before we even think about what we are going to pray ..     God is Awesome in that Way..

Who is this "Jesus" that you tell for I believe him ?

I, personal, believe the teachings of Lord Christ, who was 2000 years ago and had the name Jesus, and is the Son of Holy God that created us. Matthew 14:33;16:16;22:41-45

We are speaking of Jesus Christ, Son of God,  Savior, who is written about in the Bible, God's holy Word.

It is just referring to having privacy with the Lord in our devotional times.

The understanding: that which is flesh is flesh and that which is s/Spirit is Spirit
John 3:6

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
KJV

Starting here the reasoning of trying to bring s/Spiritual aspects to things not being kept is error
knowing that the flesh passes away as all forms of first created things
2 Peter 3:7-13

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
KJV

So the question really lies in this manner: that which is s/Spirit does not form a foundation upon that which passes away but on the eternal not yet revealed unto us
1 Cor 2:9

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
KJV
1 John 3:2-3

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
KJV
This is the faith... is it not? Heb 11:1

Pertaining to physical room  I think not for the above and referenced possibility of other which extends into the New Heaven and Earth of the eternal state...
Rev 3:20

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
KJV
