Thread Name: The Lord's Prayer wording
Subject: RE: The Lord's Prayer wording
I understand that the word Jews use for father (and presumably Jesus used) when referring to God is abba, which means, more-or-less, Daddy, that is to say, it's the same word one would use when addressing one's own father, rather than a formal form.
