if christians ask something of the Father in Jesus' name, is that name "Jesus" or is that the name by which a prophet was sent and which comes from exodus 3:14?


John 10:25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.


John 5:43
I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.


Exodus 3:14
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

I don't know. I think Moses was probably a literary device.

I had always understood it as being the name of Jesus (as per John 14:1-15) which had already been exalted by Paul in his Epistle to the Philippians roughly 30 - 50 years prior (Philippians 2:9-10).

and why would that be; if god the Father is greater?

I don't know, honestly.
Theologically, I'm a little rusty as it's not my scripture anymore.

It seems to be a bit of a mixed message.
I will say that when I was Christian, I was Trinitarian, and so I viewed them as ultimately the same.

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

And the Lord 'WHO I AM,'[The Son of Man and only begotten Son of God] said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18-19; "I will raise up for them a prophet just like you from among their own people, I will put 'MY WORDS' into his mouth and he will tell them all that I command him. And I will punish whoever does not Heed 'MY WORDS' which he will speak in my name."

GNB Catholic Study Edition, John 3: 13; 'And no one has ever ascended up to heaven except he who came down, even The Son of Man who 'IS' in heaven.

John 8: 28; The Lord through his obedient host body says, "When you lift up 'The Son of Man, you will know I am 'WHO I AM'

Hebrew 10: 5; For this reason, when the Anointed one was about to come into the world he said; "Sacrifices and offerings you did not ask for, but a body you have prepared for me.


The body that the MOST HIGH in the creation, had already prepared for his Son, was that of the man Jesus.

Hebrew 5: 7-10; “In his life on earth, Jesus made his prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God who could save him from death. Because he was humble and devoted, God heard him. But even though he was ‘A’ son of God, [Not God’s son or THE Son of God, but ‘A’ son of God, check it out in the appendix of Strong’s Concordance, or The King James translation, the Amplified translation, or The Revised Standard translation. All Israelites are sons of God according to God’s word, see Psalms 82: 6; ‘You are gods,’ I said; ‘all of you are sons of the Most High.’) he learned through suffering to be obedient, when he was made perfect he became the only source through whom salvation could be gained from our Lord God and saviour, who rose Jesus from death and will raise all they, who are united to him also.

god created all of mankind in his image. he didn't just create one man in his image. this is why you are to call no man on earth father, because you have one Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:45
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 5:48
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.


Matthew 6:1
[ Do Good to Please God ] “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Matthew 6:9
In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.


Matthew 6:14
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Matt 5: 16--5: 45- 5: 48--6: 1-- 6: 9-- 6: 14. Are the words that the Lord put into the mouth of his servant, the man Jesus, which he commanded him to speak in his name.

And the Lord 'WHO I AM,'[The Son of Man and only begotten Son of God] said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18-19; "I will raise up for them a prophet just like you from among their own people, I will put 'MY WORDS' into his mouth and he will tell them all that I command him. And I will punish whoever does not Heed 'MY WORDS' which he will speak in my name."
