“Or did Christ tell us specifically to address our prayers to the Triune God?”

Alright Sugar, this came up in my class on Romans this morning (I think it was a diversion so as not to deal with “bless those that curse you”)so I will ask you the same question I asked them; Where in scripture does it give us leave to pray to anyone but the Father?

Interesting. But since the Father is the Son is the Holy Spirit, I win.

"Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates." -- 2 Corinthians 13:7

Is "God" always Triune?

. . . IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT . . .

I don’t recall a specific such command. I think it’s clear that Paul addressed The Father, The Son and Prayed IN The Spirit.

Using the Biblically defined means and method certainly can do no harm, which is why I pray only to the Father, in the Son's Name.

God Himself saw fit to define Himself as Father, and to place Christ in the form of an everlasting High Priest and Intercessor - Why wouldn't we use the means He has provided?

But then again, I am less concerned with abstract concepts, and tend to follow the Bible's instruction... At least where it is explicit and without question.
