Exactly what I said in another thread before I read yours. I, like Paul (not comparing myself with him though but can relate to his experience) can only go by my personal experience as to why I believe God reached me and is there. The road it is said by Jesus to be narrow for those that are said...
The Bible describes 'how' to serve God.
The Bible 'claims' who is the God of the Bible and Creator, and Father ( our Life Giver )
Yes, with values (ethics) morality, meaning and purpose to God's praise - Ephesians1:12 - because Jesus is the means and meaning for God's purpose to undo ALL the...

Thank you for pointing out the word worshipers in the following Jesus' saying:
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Thank you for your reply. I don't see the connection between worship as the Pagans (non-Christians) do.
Ephesians1:12-14 is fulfilled through God's spirit to be for the praise of His glory who hoped in Christ.
Christ gave No non-Christians worship ideas, but Jesus instructed at John 4:23-24.
I...
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The Earth has been populated even to the point of...
Huh? to me God's purpose is clear at Genesis 1:28.
God has Not abandoned His purpose.
Jesus was clear at Matthew 5:5 when he referred back to Psalms 37:9-11,29.
Earth is to be filled with righteous people who will take care of the planet.

My opening statements. You can eithrr refute them, or you can't
Hint
You agreed with this, no real explanation why
You seem to be arguing about something.
Typical Pauline nonsense, imo
Christians should stick with what Jesus said.
And some 'salvationbyfaith' folks think they can do or say mostly anything in life. Not good.
You didn't answer the question.
You, basically, said a supremely powerful entity is worthy or deserves praise.
However, you didn't say why you think a supremely powerful entity requires worship or praise.
Notice the difference?
I find that our tongues are created for praising.
Jesus gives a clue as to why ' worship and praise ' at Revelation 4:11
The reason given is because the God of the Bible is also the Creator who created all things.
The word ' father ' means ' life giver ', thus our Heavenly Father (Life Giver) is...
