10061 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5001 | ||
The tongues gift is speaking in a known language It did start in Acts 2 ... verse 6 says they heard them speak in their own tongue. Yes, 1 Cor. 14 is a great passage. Prophesy is a better gift. It is a sign for unbelievers, not us. |

10062 | Persecution through tithing? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4946 | ||
I do not know of any specific passage about being persecuted when we tithe, or give. We can be presecuted when we do good ... which could include giving. But, that should not be the only good thing we do. |

10063 | Do We Worship On Our Knees Only? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4944 | ||
I agree ... what David did may of been praise. We do need to behave and not cuase offense. It is a fine line. At times, I want to pray in Japanese, but refrain because it could make others think wrong thoughts. I let the Holy Spirit control mine. On the other hand, I think of Daniel 10:7ff, where there may of been worship ... but, the presence of God caused Daniel to faint and others to run away. |

That depends on your definition of both. I am not sure we do either. I see very few Christians get on their knees. I get on my knees for prayer, one of many positions for prayer. At that time, I am not in worship. The reason I say we do not praise much, is because of what I see on the faces. I am not judging, but wonder why there is so little joy when we praise God. When we praise someone else, we beam ... I am thinking of when I praise my daughter. But, God is our Father ... so why don't we beam when we praise Him? Steve |

The question was what is the Difference Between Worship and Praise, by Jim. | ||||||
10066 | Do We Worship On Our Knees Only? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4927 | ||
Using English dictionaries is sometimes bad. We get our word worship from Middle English worshipe, which means worthiness, respect, reverence paid to a divine being. This word is from Old English, weorthscipe, which means worthiness, respect, from weorth worthy, worth -scipe -ship. There are some that say worship is showing God his worth. To be it sound to close to praise. You have got a good handle on the difference. Congrats to your daughter and praise to the Lord. I think of Hannah who worshiped after she was told she would be with child. There may of been praise as a related, but separate activity. Contrast Job who lost it all, and worshiped, as well as David, who lost his first son by Bathsheba. Worship does not always happen in conjuction with praise. |

The only reason I could think of is that he is retiring and does not want to move on. Howver, I see that as being dangerous. I think he should go to a church that he has never served. Yes, it would be tough in a small town. | ||||||
10068 | Time for Worship? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4917 | ||
Hi Tim ... 1) Terms a.k.a. Words. It is not cultural. Most, if not all, cultures give worship in the same way. It is true for most of the Bible. Some cultures, like the Eskimos, do not have lambs, so there must be a subsitute. The Scriptural basis is the words in the original. 2) Translations. Exodus 3:12,12:31 is translated abad by the NAS. The same phrase, or something very close is seen again in Exodus (4:23; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3, 7, 8, 11, 24, 26). It is translated serve in the NAS and most translations. Romans 12:1 says, "spiritual service of worship". The words service and worship in the NAS are 'abad. It does not make sense, since it only appears once in the original. The King James Version translates the last phrase, "which is your reasonable service." Which fits better. The rest of the chapter, even up to Romans 15:22 is about our service. 3) Teachings. I hope you want the correct ones. John Hubley and Roy Davison are the only ones I have found. 4) Time. I agree with you that we do not spend enough time with God. But, not just in our corporate time, but our private time, too. Not, just in worship, but, in prayer, praise (singing), peruse (reading throughly) the Bible. Steve |

Difference Between Worship and Praise Praise is a celebration, can be many activities and continual. Worship is getting prostrate before our God and is a specific activity and is for a moment of time, though in Nehemiah 9:3, it lasted three hours. The only other activity in worship is saying something, as seen in Rev. 4:10-11, 7:10-11, 11:16-17, 19:4. Some the words for praise are: - Halal (to shine, to praise, boast, be boastful) is used 140 times, but only eight times in context with worship - T@hillah (praise, song or hymn of praise) is used in 1 Chronicles 16:35; Nehemiah 9:5; Psalm 22:3, 66:2, 8., in context of worship, of the 57 times it appears in the Bible. The root is halah. - Yadah (to throw, shoot, cast) has the idea of thanks, is used in 2 Chronicles 7:3, 6a; Psalm 99:3, in context of wor-ship. It is used 109 times outside the worship context. Its root is yad (hand). - Zamar (to sing, sing praise, make music) is used twice in context of worship (1 Chr. 16:9; Psa. 66:4), of the 41 times it appears in the Old Testament. There are several Greek words, too. But, only two are associated with worship. - Aineo (to praise, extol, to sing praises in honor to God or to allow, recommend or to promise or vow) is used once, of the nine times in context of worship (Rev. 19:5). The root word is ainos (praise, laudatory discourse) and it not used in context of worship. - Hallelujah (praise ye the Lord) is used in Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6. It comes from halal and Yahh. The latter is contraction for Yahweh. We better not confuse or fuse these differences or diffuse worship. |

- What words for worship did you study? I looked at them all, including Today's Engligh version. I came up with one word in each language, that should be worship. The primary Hebrew word, for "worship", shachah, is a powerful one. It describes the physical act of actually prostrating yourself on the floor before a sovereign, someone who has complete control over you. It is translated bow, homage, prostrate, worship, weighs it down or a similar words. Daniel wrote in Aramaic. The word he used, 12 times, is c@gid, pronounces segeed. It is translated to prostrate one-self, do homage, worship. It is related to the Hebrew cagad The primary Greek word is proskuneo. It means to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence. Westerns may not understand this. It is not a romantic or family kiss. I doubt many of us kiss with reverence, even if we kiss the ring of the Pope. There were ancients that kissed their idols. - What translations are in error? I think they all add, or take away from these words. They are nor consistent in their translation. I used the NASB because I thought it was good and the tools I had. - What teachings have you heard that were in error? I saw only 2 of the over 200 teaching to be correct. Again, they added or took away from what I see the Bible says to be worship. Steve |

10071 | Do We Worship On Our Knees Only? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4853 | ||
Do we worship on our knees and face on the ground? Yes, like the Muslims do. I do not know if their heart is in it. We need to bow our heart, in reverence, too. Have we added - praise halal-Hebrew and hallelujah-Greek - service abad-Hebrew-, latreuo and latreia-Hebrew and other words, to our definition of worship? Do we include reverence sebomai-Greek without the phyiscal activity of prostration? I think we have. Not only because of our English definition, but, the translations we have. I see very few preachers and authors teach correctly. I rarely see anyone on their knees in worship. They may be praying, not worshipping. I can say this because I have spent six months on the study of worship. I forgot all I knew, then opened the Word without any study notes. I then looked at a lexicon and concordance to help, since I do not know the original. |

10072 | what is praise and worship | Psalm | Searcher56 | 4851 | ||
What is the Scriptural basis of your defition of worship? Worship, by what the Greek and Hebrew says, it bowing low before the Almighty in reverence. We may say something or be silent. | ||||||
10073 | Should the Bible be taken literally? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4850 | ||
The Bible must be taken literally, unless there is a figurative word used ... words like as and like. Does it all apply to us? NO. Mark 16:18 come to mind. I am not going to pick up snakes or drink poison. However, we cannot theorize that the Holy Spirit wants us to change the Word, so we do what we want. For example, I believe we do not worship as God wants - on our knees prostrate before the Almighty ... focsing on Him alone. We add praise, giving Him worth, service and other activities. |

You do bring up a good point. No matter what happens we must be willing to do as He bids. The more important question is what is your final destination? At least one group could be wrong ... maybe all are. Each can point to a passage, supporting their view. |

10075 | Can elders be divorced and still serve? | Titus 1:6 | Searcher56 | 4844 | ||
YES. This also is seen in 1 Timothy 3:1-13. Some will say that just as long he does not remarry, he may still serve. There are some who say, if he is single, he may serve as an elder/pastor or deacon. But I see the Bible as being very clear. It is not just the divorced man who is disqualified. | ||||||
10076 | Church Leadership in Crisis | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 4843 | ||
When a leader steps down they can influence the people. There may not be any specific Bible passage, but it is wise not to have a former leader attend the same church. Even an interim pastor, should not be a member. | ||||||
