The Lord's prayer is recorded twice in the New Testament. The passage most commonly memorized is Matthew 6:9-13, often in the King James Version. The version in Luke 11:2-4 is shorter.
What rule has God given for our direction in prayer?
The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer, but the special rule of direction is that prayer, which Christ taught His disciples, commonly called the Lord's Prayer....

Prayer is an offering up of our desires to God, for things agreeable to His will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins and thankful acknowledgment of His mercies. (1 John 5:14; 1 John 1:9; Philippians 4:6; Psalm 10:17; 145:19; John 14:13-14)

Resuming posts in 2023
I haven't been working on my blog much over the past year due to health reasons. I'm planning on resuming the series What are Catechisms?, but I don't expect to post regularly. The Catechisms series was originally intended to be something short while I was researching my next topic, but it turned into a much more time-consuming project than I had expected.
The next series will probably be about is the history of English Bible translations, hopefully...
How Can I Pray?
Since the beginning of the year, I haven't been able to spend the time I would like working on posts for BibleQuestions.info. I have had shorter amounts of time to work on the blog, so I decided to review prayer apps. I have been using the app Echo Prayer, and I created some public prayer and devotion feeds. Some of the feeds are Breath Prayers, which are...
What is the Judgement of non-Christians?
What are we to believe concerning the resurrection?
We are to believe, that at the last day there shall be a general resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust: when they that are then found alive shall in a moment be changed; and the selfsame bodies of the dead which were laid in the grave, being then again united to their souls forever, shall be raised up by the power of Christ. The bodies of the just, by the Spirit of Christ, and...
What is the Resurrection of Believers?
Shall all men die?
Death being threatened as the wages of sin, it is appointed unto all men once to die; for that all have sinned.
Death, being the wages of sin, why are not the righteous delivered from death, seeing all their sins are forgiven in Christ?
The righteous shall be delivered from death itself at the last day, and even in death are delivered from the sting and curse of it; so that, although they die, yet it is out of...

- Christ will return visibly and with great glory on the Last Day (Matthew 24:27; Luke 21:27; Acts 1:11; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 1:7).
- Christ will return to judge the world, not to set up an earthly government (Matthew 25:31-32; John 12:48; John 18:36; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
- Christ will return on a specific day known by God alone (Matthew 24:44; Mark 13:32; Acts...
What is the Church?
What is the holy Christian church?
The holy Christian church is the communion of saints, the total number of those who believe in Christ. All believers in Christ, but only believers, are members of the church (invisible church) (Ephesians 2:19-22; John 10:16; Romans 8:9).
Why do you say, "I believe" in the church?
- Because faith, which makes people members of the church, is invisible, the church is invisible to human eyes...
