[quote:Anonymous Coward 80582752:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODU1MTI1XzI2ODNDREEw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78782711:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODU0NjU3XzNBM0Y0QkFC] I’ve struggled with this idea of worship myself. However, it’s a requirement to be United with him. There are dozens of Bible verses in the old and New Testament commanding us to worship Him. Questions like: why would he create us to be worship slaves etc…? Are irrelevant. He did and his wisdom is beyond our understanding. Something like an ant trying to understand an iPhone. He created us with free will knowing full well that without him we would be finished quickly. He is many levels above us cosmically speaking, and worship is the only way for us to communicate with him, Dogs try to communicate with you by bringing you things and pleasing you. It’s like that on a cosmic scale. The primary satanic ploy is trying to get people to believe we can be god or his equal. Manifest this and that. Bullshit. This is how the serpent tricked eve. The reality is, we are separated from Him by sin. We are not his equal and we are not one with him. Inviting the holy spirit to live inside you is the only way to connected with him. And that’s done through worship and accepting Jesus Christ. Once you feel His power guiding you and helping you, you will know the truth. [/quote] :hf: [/quote]

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.
