When Jesus gave the Lord's prayer, he said our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified?

If Jesus was God he would have taught "Let MY Kingdom come"

Logic shows he was not talking about his own Kingdom but the Kingdom of someone greater , his Father & God , Jehovah.

No it is not true, and yes, they are taking Jehovah Gods name out of the Bible. And people will argue until their faces turn blue that there are 3~1. How silly is that. But, they believe and read the Bible. Great question by the way.

Plus, may I add that in those verses it also says in Heaven as on Earth. That does something to the all going to heaven too!

(Matthew 6:9)(NWT) “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.

English word sanctified translated to Greek reads : αγιαστεί

English word hallowed translated to Greek reads : καθαγιασμένη.

Sanctified is then the accurate translation.

Of course Jesus was talking about His Father and our Father.

(John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

(Proverbs 30:4) Who has ascended to heaven that he may descend? Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of both hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is his name and what the name of his son, in case you know?

When Jesus used the word Father, he was referring to Almighty God.

Proverbs 30:4 asks "DO you know the Name of God AND the name of His son".

Psalms 18:3 (KJV) gives us the answer:

"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH (Capitals from KJV) art the most high over all the earth.

So now some of us may have learned something new.

Here Jesus is showing the disciples how to pray. This prayer is not a prayer that we should be doing religiously it is showing us more than that.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. This is simply stating that God the Father is Holy and recognizing Him as our Father. Why make it anymore difficult than that?

Psalm 83:18 says: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. All this is saying is that there is only one Jehovah. Not even Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew of this name (Exodus 6:3). They knew Him as the God Almighty. He has many names because He covers so many things.

What you wrote doesn't prove at all that Jesus is not God. Read John chapter one.

In the minds of Jesus and his contemporaries a person's name stood for the person themselves. What Jesus is teaching is that the first principle of prayer is reverence for God. The focus is not on a word (name) but on the One behind the name. He's laying down the attitude we should have toward God and applying it to prayer. This was not a new idea at all. The same principle is taught many times in the Law and Prophets.

How can Jesus be God if Jehovah created Jesus? People have no idea what Jesus was saying ,for that reason many people don't read careful.

I'm starring this because it is one of the BEST questions I have EVER read on Yahoo Answers.

And answered by some of the brightest minds on Yahoo Answers.

CLEARLY Jesus was talking to SOMEONE ELSEabout THEIR name. Whether the person that says the right word was used or not you cannot deny he was speaking to someone else.

Someone HE revered.

And he set an example for us to follow!

Brilliant question.

Don't mind me if I follow his Example,

Jesus was talking about his heavenly father

JEHOVAH GOD.

I would say "our Father in the heavens" as that is to whom he was praying.

And, "our Father in the heavens" IS Jehovah.

John 20:17, Psalm 83:18

Let your name "Jehovah" be sanctified. Jesus was speaking about his father Jehovah God.

** For those who say the name is Lord, Lord is a title, not a name**

God's name is found at Psalms 83:18 and a few other places in the KJV, it is Jehovah.
