I said I would write more on this subject, so here it is.     

     Someone said, “Do everything in the name of God and you will avoid Contemporary idolatry.  I hate to disappoint you but it doesn’t work that way. 

“ Mat. 7:21 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

Mat 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils?” (done this or that in your name) “and in thy name done many wonderful works? 

 Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

      Just doing things in his name doesn’t get it, and that is not worship.  It also doesn’t guarantee that you won’t worship something else.     

      Giving GOD worship, which is the contraction of two words (Worth Ship), is the most logical thing you can do.  But, to the world, it foolishness, which gives you a pretty good idea where the world gets it’s frame of reference from.  To worship GOD is to ship (show, give) worth to HIM.  Now, who do you know of that would not want you to show or give worth to GOD?       

      In response to what someone else said, your right.  GOD doesn’t need us for anything.  HE could wave his hand and terminate the existence of all of us faster than you can blink your eyes.  It is one of the great mysteries of the Bible.  Why HE would not bend down to help fallen angels, but bent WAY down for fallen man.  The angels in heaven could not understand this.  How could anyone expect man, who can’t even understand what is written for him to understand, to understand a great mystery like this.  HE created us for HIS purpose, and if you can’t understand what is written for you to understand, how can you expect to understand why HE requires worship?  And no, HE doesn’t care about the constant babble of vain repetition.  What HE does care about is honest, faithful, committed conversation, prayer, and worth ship.     

     Someone else said; “He is the greatest thing and therefore is the worthiest thing…” I am somewhat offended by you calling GOD a thing.  GOD is not a thing, HE is a being, the supreme being that Adam-kind was formed in the image of.  If you want to call a being a thing, call mankind a thing, (not Adam-kind).  Man-kind is an animated entity, All to often a partially-animated-entity, with not much more mental capacity than a stone, which JESUS said they would rise up and shout if His followers didn’t, incapable of to even the slightest knowledge of his creator.     

     It seams that someone is starting to put flesh and blood into his understanding of what he reads in the Bible.  He can actually read what it says.  It seams that the problem he has is that he still doesn’t understand the why’s and where fore’s.  You need to find a teacher of GOD’s word to explain what you’re reading to you.  GOD has HIS reasons for doing things the way HE does them, and for someone to try to explain them in any way other than making clear what is already written is like trying to define GOD.  And that is blasphemous, and deserving of a one-way ticket to the “Lake of Fire”.
