The way Jesus prayed/formal prayer and petitions or supplications in some translation. Why can't you not accept this truth? why are you looking for loop holes?? If you belong to the church then you would be subject to the teaching of Paul. Subsequently when Paul says there are only two forms of speaking to God, prayer and supplication then that is it.. why are you looking for answers where you know the bible is silent? why not use what the bible does say? do you think God is obligated to 'fund' you just because you think you found a loop hole using broken logic? No. Jesus was directly asked How do we pray. He gave only one example. No other examples were given. However Paul when telling his church how to go before God He mentions not only Christ's prayer but... also granted us permission to also petition God. Meaning prayer is what Jesus taught, everything else we ask for is supplication.
Yeah, I read Phl 4:6. I read the surrounding passages, and I have no idea where you're getting the idea that Paul was telling people the only two ways to pray.
This kinda gets right back to what I said about interpretations. There's nothing in there explicitly limiting the types of prayer. So, maybe this is less of an issue of you not getting set theory, and more of an issue of you thinking you can infer implied meanings into the Bible.
