[quote:Anonymous Coward 80643217:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODk0MjQ2Xzk2REEwRkEx] [quote:Servant-of-the-LORD:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODkzMzcwX0M4ODFBQkQ5] [quote:danielbarzohar:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODgzNDE5X0RGMjg4QkNF] I totally agree. It is just different ways of explaining things. Jesus spoke Aramaic 2000 years ago so he did not even speak English words. The English bible translations are just that ... translations. To get the true meaning of what was said you would have to have the words of Jesus in the original Aramaic and understand that language. [/quote] 'Jesus spoke Aramaic'? Says who? What proof is there? The 'schlolarly' claim that the Hebrews language was 'Dead' in Jesus' time has been falling apart for the last 10 years'. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message3896927/pg1 A good portion of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including cave documents found concerning the Bar Kochba Rebellion are in the Hebrews language. Coins from the period have the Hebrews language on them. The synagogue scrolls were in the Hebrews language. The KJV New Testament even mentions the Hebrews language. Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him [b]in letters of[/b] Greek, and Latin, and [b]Hebrews,[/b] THIS IS THE KING OF THE Je-ws. John 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called [b]in the Hebrews tongue[/b] Bethesda, having five porches. John 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is [b]called in the Hebrews[/b] Golgotha: John 19:20 This title then read many of the get lost: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and [b]it was written in Hebrews,[/b] and Greek, and Latin. ...... Acts 21:40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, [b]he spake unto them in the Hebrews tongue,[/b] saying, Acts 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. 2 (And when they heard that [b]he spake in the Hebrews tongue to them[/b], they kept the more silence: and he saith,) Acts 26:14 [i]And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and [b]saying in the Hebrews tongue[/b][/i], [color=red]Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.[/color] This is a reasonable read http://healing2thenations.net/papers/hebrewmt.htm [/quote] Today's bibles are still translations. Most of the New Testament was translated from Greek. Matthew is the only surviving book in the original language in the New Testament. [/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.
