[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 65527397, member: 261524"] I would say these are acts that usually demonstrate someone who is acting in worship. But worship must be more than performing these three things. Did Jesus build any temples, sing praises or praise His name? Did Jesus therefore worship God because He did these things, or are these things a result of His living in worship? Some gods can be imaginary though. Your understanding of the word seems to contradict Jesus' understanding of the word, unless you think that money is a "fundamentally concious, external, spirit-based beings, typically of unimaginable power and knowledge" ([url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A24&version=NIV]Matthew 6:24[/url]). I actually wanted to encourage you to understand the question you are asking, but if you don't want to, then I might indeed consider the conversation moot. Then is this what Jesus is saying in Matthew 6:24? No, it is a serious question. Is there no harm that comes from not worshipping God, or worshipping someone/something other than Him? Is there no benefit to doing it? I don't actually know the answers to this question, which is why I asked it on this thread. I do think that sometimes there is harm from worshipping someone other than Him. In fact, I think that every problem in the world would be solved if everyone did worship Him at all times. Which is a fantasy. It is every Christian's fantasy of heaven. [/QUOTE]
