[quote:Heyoka The Naked Emperor 81891265:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODU1MTc2X0MyRkQ2ODVG] Me?, you know I love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my mind and all my soul, don't ya?. Have you not forgotten your spiritual brotherly love?, for love is what we are.. did you just blushed?. But I didn't ask you to take your clothes off.. :eyeroll2: [i]And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.” - Matthew 22:35-40[/i] [/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.
