1 | Steve explain worship more? | John 4:24 | Searcher56 | 7804 | ||
EdB ... I do get flak for this view. One correction, is that we do not worship through service. They are separate. I think you are saying we worship becuase of music. But, that is dangerous ... you used the word "feel", which has caused problems, even in love. Both are facts and a commitment. As far as translations, I pointed out the disparity on the translation of the word worship. I look at other languages, Japanese, Arabic and others. I ask how a verse is translated. They do a better job in my view, since they did not use English as part of there translation process. Now to your question ... We need to correctly know - what worship is. The dictionary definition does not match the words in the Bible. - who we worship. While God may be our Friend, we need to worship Him with the names associated with worship. We need to see the wide gap between us and Him. - why we worship. We do have commands and warnings. It also brings us into His majestic presenece and changes us. - how we should worship. We call many activiies worship. But, they usally are not. Some are associated with worship, like singing. Others are not in the context of any worship example, in the Bible - like dancing. - where we should worship. As Jesus said, it is not a special place, but in spirit and truth. I see most churches not set up to have people fall on their faces. I have done it there, I sit up front or along the aisle. Also, I've done it at home. - when we can worship. It take preparation. We need to prepare our heart, soul nad mind. |

Steve your response fascinates me. You need to expand on the names of God. If we look in the Old Testament we see the people call God various names at various times in various stages of worship. If we read the Bible we know God considers names to be important, yet we seldom use the names scriptures give us for God. Steve as far as bowing or laying prostrate before the Lord you are absolutely right, but in most churches outside charismatic any form of outward worship is frowned upon. Most people view it as an attention attracting attempt to get oneself recognized as more spiritual than they. No wonder God calls us stiff necked. Steve you said to worship properly it takes time. Isn’t that a problem in our society we are instant people we don’t have time. We rush to work, rush at our work, rush to get home, rush to get supper, rush to get the kids to bed, rush to this, that, or another thing. Taking time??? Boy that is deep I wonder how God would react if His people started taking time for Him. That last sentence was tongue in cheek for those that want to get mad. :-) Steve I read your other response on the same subject I will request a copy of your document. Thanks for the offer Ed |

Time is amazing. With the improvement in how fast we can get to work and elsewhere, we are spending less time with our family, much less, with God. I sent you a copy of my paper. | ||||||
