So, then, I suppose you don't pray for it, do you?
We all pray "about" things we are sure of, but I can't remember a recent specific prayer about this. Of course, one could try to include it in the Lord's Prayer. Is that where you're going? I do say the Lord's Prayer. :)
Why not just say "God" and not have to "worry" which Divine Persona is accomplishing the task?
The Bible does it both ways, why should there be a prohibition against that? This started with your assertion that the Bible was "wrong" for saying that God raised Christ. I maintain that the Bible isn't "wrong".
Kosta: "Whether a pilot is a rotten character and a wife abuser does not invalidate his piloting skills. he may be a rotten human being but he may be a perfect pilot."
FK: "Why does the year 1998 immediately come into my mind after reading this? :)"
1998? No idea.
It was just a reference to the Lewinsky scandal. All the Dems ran around defending Clinton by saying everything was OK because he was such a wonderful President. :)
To us a priest is an icon of Christ; to the Latins he is an alter-Christ. ......
Thanks for the explanation.
That's silly, imo. If you can't change anything why not just say "Thy will be done" and be done with it?

Well, if He couldn't raise Himself, but needed outside help, then He is not God. Clearly, when +Paul says Christ was raised by God, he puts Christ outside of God. If I say FK was rescued by a police officer, clearly the rescuer is not by implication FK but someone other than FK. If I say FK rescued himself leaves no doubt that it is FK. +Paul never clearly says Christ is God. He says Christ is an "image" of God (but so are we as well!).

Pope Alexander VI was a wonderful pope as well. His private life wasn't much of a life of a priest, but like I said, being a good pilot, president oir pope doesn't come with specific character features.
In fact, one's character does not take away from the skill of an individual. You can have a pedophile physician who is a top-notch doctor.
