Bible Question (short): Time for Worship? |
Question (full): Hi Steve! 1) Words. From your two posts, I'm assuming that you feel that worship should be done in a certain position. I will grant that many of the words for worship included the idea of bowing or prostrating one's self before someone or something else. However, is this an essential part of worship or a cultural part of worship? In other words, does the fact that most people then bowed to worship mean that we must as well? Are there any Scriptures that proscribe the way in which we must worship? 2) Translations. I really didn't see any problems with the tranlations that I checked. Do you have any specific examples? 3) Teachings. You lost me on this one! You saw only 2 of what 200 teachings? Who are they? I have enjoyed the study I have been doing of some of these words. However, the biggest problem I see in worship is simply that we don't allow ourselves enough time to really experience God's presence. We rush through our worship services. We rush through our devotions. We never (or at least seldom) slow down enough to worship. Tim Moran |
