The "Lord's Prayer" was given by the Lord Jesus to be a pattern of prayer, not a prayer in and of itself (although there is perfectly nothing wrong with praying it). Jesus said, "pray in this way," or "after this manner."

The Lord's Prayer is a pattern for us, consisting of some basic elements of prayer:

First the acknowledgment of the divine Trinity: "Your name be sanctified" is related mainly to the Father; "Your kingdom come," to the Son; and "Your will be done," to the Spirit.

Second is the element of caring first for God's name, then for His kingdom and his desire, then third is our petition for "daily bread" which takes care of our basic need. Our need for "daily bread" is not only for today, right now, but tomorrow as well.

Third is the element of dealing with offenses before others. "Forgive us our debts" is related not only to personal debts but personal offenses with others. This not only takes care of our offenses before God but also with our peace with others.

Finally, there is the element of deliverance from evil, or "from the evil one." In our prayer we should pray that God keeps us from the way of evil, from the path of the evil one.

I use the NLT. I grew up with KJV and NKJV...I prefer the NLT. :emot-shakehead:

There is a great book that I'm reading right now called the King James Only Controversy ~ Can You Trust the Modern Translations by James R. White. It's really wonderful. Easy read but packed with information. I love information.

FYI, it's not a book for or against the KJV or the new translations, just information about how they came about...I've only begun reading the first few chapters and what I've found is....we do not love our Bibles as much as the early translators and scribes did. Not at all.......

Welcome Catholicgirl02! That is an interesting read in Wikipedia. Usually, though, when I'm looking for answers to Biblical questions I look to http://www.blueletterbible.org or http://www.gotquestions.org. There are some good Christian encylopedias online, too, such as http://www.conservapedia.com or http://WWW.creationwiki.org or http:www.christiananswers.net

Just thought you might be interested in those sites.

I personally prefer the KJV, but I have been told that the NASB is as close as you can get overall acording to messianic jews. I have another translation that I love and keep next to my bed to read but I forget which translation it is. I think it's called the New Living Translation.

Thank you all...

I added those sites to my favorite places and will use them for references. I am going to stick to reading the God's Word Bible for now, since it is the one I started and I am halfway through it!

There is nothing wrong with reading the version that is easiest for you. If, like me, you want other translations I would recommend e-sword. It is a downloadable bible with many free translations, dictionaries and commentaries. I use it all the time. http://www.e-sword.net/

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
