Pretty sure I know who that is..... don't be a coward, say what I posted is deserving of a one star? [/quote] Hey I don't mind telling you that I gave you one star! I'm telling you right now that you better Worship the Lord if you want to make it to heaven and knock off all foolishness and sinning [/quote] What is your definition of worship? And the Creator knows we can be very foolish in this hard ass world and that we make mistakes ( sinning?) all the time. It's how we learn. A loving all knowing father doesn't want us being in fear of him. He wants us to learn and grow and become more like Him and we do that slowly and by making mistakes. All of which can be overcome. Sometimes it's tough love but that's how we grow stronger. The one wanting is to live in fear and needing worship is not our true Eternal Father. But he poses as such. Becoming still and silent and listening within to the Kingdom is how you know the difference. Also, you can ask for help anytime anywhere. [/quote]
Original Message
Is that what you want? to be separate from God .. . For purposes of this thread, assume that God is the Eternal One, the Creator of all... the one Source.
Who wants to be separate from God? When you worship, you are separating yourself from God, by placing "him" in a place higher than yourself. You place a distance between you and "him."
While this applies to any and all religions, I'll focus on the book I am most familiar with.... and in that book, Yahshua says do not look for the Kingdom outside of yourself, for you can find it only within.
And in that book, does Yahshua ever say to worship either the Father or Himself? No.
