It is talking about the one God who is everywhere and yet invisible, who exists from everlasting to everlasting, who is eternal.

Re: Teaching kids to pray to Father, or always Jes
I usually start with Lord rather than Father, unless I am praying the Lord's Prayer. And end in Jesus name. Amen!!

Not to offer any critique or condemnation for the way anyone else prays. That is, beyond any doubt, none of my business.
But... if you don't mind... I'd like to ask a question.
Considering that the Lords Prayer was Jesus' instruction to the apostles on how to actually pray doesn't it seem odd that the only time you pray starting with Father is when you are actually praying that prayer while other times you deviate from that?

26The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
That kinda aloud prayer might get me crucified in my UPC church.
However, it is in there, so we should be able to pray that way, and even teach our kids to pray that way with a clear concious of not turning our back on what is supposedly "oneness", should we not?

Were they disobeying the clear teaching on prayer that Jesus had given them?
Was their prayer invalid?

Maybe they still just hadnt received the revelation of the oneness of God yet. Or should I say the revelation of "the oneness of Jesus Christ".  that aint it.
Im thinkin Peter STILL simply had the same revelation that Jesus had said:"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God".
