Zack, you said he prayed to HIS father. You know that's God, right? When Christians are praying and addressing the "Father"..it's God they are addressing, not their own literal fathers.
Something tells me you know this, but maybe you just mis typed something.
We pray to God, and to Jesus all in the same prayer, and end with making the prayer in Jesus' name (through Jesus to the father).
It's mind blowing for a witness to think of how we can do that, or even why.
"Father" is personal and loving, "Jehovah" is impersonal( and not a name he gave anyone to call him for starters )
I love using this argument with witnesses. I'd love to see them call their fathers by their names only, for a month. See how their fathers like it.
