Do all prayers go to the same place, regardless of who is being addressed ?

    Pestie! How you doing? :)

    No, all prayers do not go to the same place regardless of who is being addressed. Think of it this way: the Bible speaks of a channel of communication, yes? Proper channels must be acknowledged and respected. Of course, scripture teaches that prayers must be addressed TO God THROUGH Jesus Christ; like a letter must be addressed properly to reach its intended destination. If I send an e-mail or letter to 'maters Granny, but the letter is addressed to Pestie, you are not going to get it, are you? No.

    So it is with our prayers. If they do not follow the standards set out by Jehovah God, they do not reach Him. Some may point to what appear in scripture to be direct addresses to Jesus Christ. That is for another post and time, as this one is already too long! :)

    No. Unless Jehovah is expressly addressed then they fall to Satan. Prayers must also be asked in the name of Jesus for no one comes to the father except thru the son.

    EDIT Prayer must be asked in the name of Jesus and addressed to Jehovah.

    Nah probably not, i imagine that a god would ignore the prayers that were meant for him/her. Like if you prayed to Jesus, i doubt Allah would acknowledge you. And same with the other way around. That is, if these gods existed. I don't know if they do.

    There is only One God, so yes, our prayers go to His throne. God searches all hearts and answers according to His will.

    All prayers go to God. If one prays to saint this or saint that, the saint hears it by the grace of God, but so does He. God is omniscient.

    I sort of think they don't "go", God simply hears them. God comes to the prayer.

    No,

    Jesus informs us that if we don't petition God in his name he is not obligated to answer.

    We see in the Bible that God did not hear the prayers of the pagan gods and idols. He says He expects to be worshiped in Truth

    Joh 4:22-24 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
