AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God]. |
Bible Question:
I asked "Can you worship God if you don't believe in Him?" Worship is defined as To honor and love as a deity (something worthy of worship/ thought of as a god or higher above most things) To regard with ardent or adoring esteem or devotion To respect; to honor; to treat with civil reverence. Hank responded with Certainly not! .... "And without faith is is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) --Hank Okay so you can not come to Him or please Him without faith or belief. But can you worship Him? Can you respect, and honor someone you don't believe or have faith in? I don't believe you can, but I am looking for scripture and an easy way to explain this to a group of children tonight at church. I guess this is what Jesus meant in John 4:24 when he said "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." |
Bible Answer: Quote "But can you worship Him? Can you respect, and honor someone you don't believe or have faith in? I don't believe you can, but I am looking for scripture and an easy way to explain this to a group of children tonight at church. I guess this is what Jesus meant in John 4:24 when he said "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." end of quote. I think you are contradictiing yourself here. How can you worship the "someone you dont believe" if you dont believed on someone, how can you worship that "someone" which is for you is not existing? for example you dont believed in God, meaning you dont believed that He is existed. Now how can you worship someone you dont believed? If you worship Him you must worship Him in "Truth" meaning you believed on Him Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. |
