What is the real definition of worship?

Answered by BibleQ . June 12, 2014 - 12:14 am

Romans 12:1-2 has a very good definition of worship: I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. (2) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, […]

Why were people with defects not allowed to offer sacrifices (Lev. 21:16-24)?

Answered by BibleQ . February 24, 2013 - 12:24 am 13

One of the things that the Law taught was that God’s people should be holy because their God is holy (Lev. 11:44-45; 19:2; 20:26). As one commentator writes, ‘Be holy, for I am holy’ ‘could be termed the motto of Leviticus’.1 In truth, God wants his people to be morally holy: Peter explains God’s call […]

… and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Rev 1:6) This is just one of a number of passage which speak of the God of Jesus: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” […]

What is the difference between “build an altar” (Gen 12:7) and “call on the name of the LORD” (Gen 13:4)?

Answered by BibleQ . December 27, 2012 - 11:39 am

Genesis 12:7-8 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and […]

What does John 4:23 mean by praying in spirit and truth?

Answered by BibleQ . November 13, 2012 - 9:57 pm

John 4:23 actually says “worship in spirit and truth”. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John […]

Should we worship Jesus?

Answered by BibleQ . April 14, 2012 - 10:52 pm 1

It seems to me that the best way to approach this question is to look at what the Christians at the time of the apostles did. If they worshipped Jesus then we should probably do so too. If they did not worship Jesus then we should not. In recent book entitled Did the first Christians […]

Why did God command carved cherubim on the ark when he also said don’t make carved images?

Answered by BibleQ . August 31, 2010 - 7:47 pm 1

God commands the Israelites not to make carved images (Exodus 20:4), but also commands the Israelites to carve images of cherubim on the Ark (Exodus 25). This would appear to be contradictory. However if you read the context of the command, it seems that God is not forbidding images of any sort but forbidding images […]

Answered by BibleQ . June 5, 2010 - 3:29 pm 1

What day is the Sabbath?

Answered by BibleQ . April 17, 2010 - 9:57 pm 4

The word sabbath means “rest” and the practice of resting on the Sabbath is modelled on creation where God rested on the seventh day. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day […]

Should a man wear a hat during worship service, prayer, or in the Sanctuary?

Answered by BibleQ . April 6, 2010 - 7:59 pm 16

The only relevant passage is 1 Cor 11:4-7 containing some comments from Paul: Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a wife […]
