salaam to all,
i recently heard a christian prayer and i became confused. the prayer started off with " father " then the supplication came and the end was in " jesus' " name. the thing that confused me was, if we began the prayer with " father " how come it ended in jesus' name? isn't jesus the father too? you see, when you really study it, he can't be. if jesus prayed on the cross, who was he praying to? god doesn't pray to himself. if jesus was god and died for 3 days, was god gone from the world? who was running things? jesus broke bread and gave thanks. who was he thanking? god doesn't thank himself. he said that only the father knew when the end would come, so if he were god he would know when that time was. the beautiful thing about islam is that it is the confirmation of what the prophets taught. simple monotheism. inshallah many christians will see the light and embrace islam as the truth.
