Bible Question:
Since we are to worship God only and not man but Jesus Christ is both God and a man how do we worship properly? Is bowing and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord the same as worship? Matt 4:10 Then Jesus *said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'" Dan 7:13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. Dan 7:14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. Dan 7:15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. Phil 2:9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, Phil 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Phil 2:11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Matt 2:2 "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him." Matt 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. Matt 28:17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. John 9:38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him Heb 1:6 And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, "AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM." |
Bible Answer: Word study ... worship - shachah, c@gid, proskuneo ... I have post on worship (7734). I think the church refuses to consider prostration as worship, even part of it. Study proskuneo outside John and Revelation ... to see the lack of the word. We are to worship God alone. I have another post on the difference between worhip and praise (120794) |
