Matthew 6:6-13
`But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly. `And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard, be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him; thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who [art] in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name. `Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth. `Our appointed bread give us to-day. `And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors. `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory -- to the ages. Amen.
2 Kings 2:23-24
And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, `Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!' And he looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the forest, and rend of them forty and two lads.
Was this ordained of God, or Elijah? Even evil spirits use His given authority, both cursing and blessing. And that authority answers to God before it is used. Everything- every noun, and every verb has already been foreseen and judged/answered. There is no ignorance whatsoever attributable to God, at any time.
Is the above prayer ordained of God, or man? Everything is known before the prayer is spoken, so who benefits from speaking and hearing? And from believing? And doing? God creates no vanity.
