Be careful When you refer to the Father and the son. There was only one God (Jesus). The Father is spirit and heaven is in you (It's in the book)--also around you and through you. They became one in the flesh. Head (Jesus), Brain (Father, Spirit).
When Jesus prayed to the Father he was setting and example of how to communicate with him and maybe he was just listening to others plans for him by reading their minds. When he was tempted by the devil he was showing that in truth and the word of God you beat back the devil. Maybe it was Satan who didn't believe that Jesus was God. Satan doesn't know what God is doing he just knew that God was coming sometime in the flesh. Why 40 days and nights? Maybe God wanted to teach Satan a lesson and beat him at his own game and took His time doing so. We don't know exactly what happened.
Remember Jesus is God--there is only one God, not two--there wasn't a Father somewhere else guiding him. Maybe he refered to himself as a son because allthough his intelligence was all there--all that he is wasn't. He is everything and everybody.There are some preachers and teachers that refer to the Father and Son as two different beings. Can anyone refute or clarify these issues? God bless you
