[quote:danielbarzohar:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxOTIxOTE4XzhCMTIyQjg0] [quote:Servant-of-the-LORD:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxOTE0NjQ0Xzg0RjE1RTM1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80643217:MV80OTMxNDUyXzkxODk0MjQ2Xzk2REEwRkEx] 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] Actually there's a LOT more. Nehemia Gordon found partial manuscripts of other books at the Vatican. And other researchers are finding them elsewhere. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message3896927/pg1 https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4864640/pg1 [/quote] Manny suspect that the Vatican has not released the original language manuscripts because they conflict with the Church approved translations of today. Israel on the other hand has made the Dead Sea scrolls publicly available to everyone. Something to think about. When the unveiling occurs, we will find that we have been lied to for hundreds if not thousands of years. The only way to really search for truth is to go within as Jesus advised for the Kingdome of Heaven is within. In the New Testament in Luke 17:20-21 it states “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, [b]“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (NKJV)[/b] So what exactly does it mean when it says that the kingdom of God is within you?

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.
