Bible Question:
Re: Acts 17:25 (NIV) And he is not served by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. Does this refer to worship in that we shouldn't raise our hands or lift our hands during worship? |
Bible Answer: Dear Geebers50, Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord (G.supreme authority) of heaven AND earth, dwells not in temples made with hands. Ask yourself is there a difference between heaven and earth? Ask if there is a difference between The Spiritual things of God, and the natural things of mankind? The who, what, when, where, how, and why questions will be helpful in your search. John 4:24 tells us "God is a Spirit, and they that worship him MUST worship him in Spirit and in truth." Ask: How do I worship God in Spirit? How do I worship God in truth? One major clue is John 17:17, John 8:31-32 Psalms 149:1-9, Psalms 150:1-6...tells us exactly how to worship, where the praises should be, what the praises do, where the praises are done, what to praise him about, what kind of musical instruments to use, if you are supposed to move around when you do praise him, and how many things are to praise the Lord. This is spiritual praise, in the psalms, for God alone. It is not the kind that was afforded to human kings by servants with their human (or natural) hands and motives. After you read it, you decide. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
