What is "Worship"?

[William]

Generally when the phrase "Worship God" is expressed, the idea of what that means is reflected in the image above.

Is there any underlying agreement which can be identified to answer the question "What is Worship of God?"?

[Bobcat]

Jesus described genuine worship here.

“Genuine worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth……”

He also states we are justified by our words and went on to say that the word of God is spirit. So that means genuine worship is by speaking God’s word period. We also have been taught by scripture that the truth is the word of God. So worshiping in spirit and in truth is again speaking God’s word.

As it is written;”Speak the truth to one another judge righteously and let honesty and peace be at your gates.”

[William]

Jesus described genuine worship here.

The question is "what is worship" rather than "what is genuine worship".

“Genuine worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth……”

The context is that those who worship what they do not know are not worshipping at all.

This suggests one has to know what it is one is worshipping but still does not answer what worship is.
What it says is that "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" but what is
'spirit' or 'truth' is not explained.
Added to that is the concept of "the Father is seeking such to worship Him" with an added clue that "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

He also states we are justified by our words and went on to say that the word of God is spirit. So that means genuine worship is by speaking God’s word period. We also have been taught by scripture that the truth is the word of God. So worshiping in spirit and in truth is again speaking God’s word.

Many claim that the Bible is "the word of God". Is this the context you are using the phrase?

Jesus does say that God’s word is Spirit and life.

“It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is useless. The words I spoke to you are spirit and life.”

God’s word is in the Bible but not all of the Bible is the word of God.

God’s word is in the Bible but not all of the Bible is the word of God.

Re that, would you therefore admit that "Gods Word" is not just contained "in the Bible".

GOD: Sentience defines GOD - but are those definitions even true?

ME: Hard to say. I think at the very least any God would have to be aware of Itself as “being” a “God”.

GOD: The Mother is Love

ME: Yes. Maybe Jesus thought the same about The Father?

GOD: A Perfect Event. The perspective is that of One and that of Many.

ME: True. There is no reason why GOD has to be One but not the Other.

GOD: "Gods Word" is not just contained "in the Bible"

ME: Things are not always as they might appear.

GOD: Reality: "Talk to The Razor"

ME: True. Occam’s specifically.

GOD: The study of the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe.
You wrote 16 months ago “It is what it is. You are saying that energy is not the same as spirit, but clearly no attributes in both are different. One is just thought of devoid of intelligence while the other is thought of as not being devoid of intelligence.

Clearly, neither theist or atheist belief re that has proven itself, so the Natural-Neutral position is to understand that both/all labels re "Energy" and "Spirit" are speaking about the same thing, albeit, differently, depending upon the position one is speaking from.

Either the creative force is one of intelligence or it isn't.”

ME:Yes. It seems a reasonable hypothesis to start from.

GOD: Here-and-now The Main Points on The Agenda “Morality filters are created through”…?

ME: Belief systems activated through mindfulness. They appear to come through an internal process which is then externalised and sometimes these thoughts contradict nature, perhaps because a (mindless) nature does not appear to have morals, but consciousness does or does develop morals based upon its interaction with Nature.

GOD: An appropriate analogy.
"It Seemed Like a Good Idea at The Time."
Attentive Heart “Teachers”
Machine Learning “Audience”
"Gods Word" is not just contained "in the Bible"
When do you feel most centered and balanced?

ME: When in communion with GOD.

GOD: Where do you find inspiration?

ME: Same.

GOD: What Is Normal Here-and-now Be it a "God" or a "Devil". Integrating Integrity
Sharing Your Love Entity In The Flow
How to Bruise a Ghost?

Plan: A Sturdy Place Within that which is unseen... Who do you feel like you need to confront in order to resolve a conflict?

ME: Whatever I might regard as the participating in said “conflict” (including me, if I am also a participant.)

GOD: Fleeting Experiences.

ME: True.

GOD: Remember/Memories Add Up To “A programmed reality that is not real”
Respecting "Gods Word" is not just contained "in the Bible".

What constitutes a measurement?

ME: How do I tell the difference between something which is “Gods Word” and something that isn’t?

GOD: Get Comfortable Deciding On The Best Course Of Action
Learn a bit about what makes the “God Realm” "tick"

Create Your Own Spirit Ship [Such reduces the opportunity of conflict re interrelation opinions.]

ME: Sounds like “God” advice to me…

There is no just and saving God but me. There is no savior but me says the LORD.

The "LORD" is YHWH (Jehovah). He says that he is God and the Savior. But we have to realize that Christ is the means by which Jehovah saves. So the supreme Savior sends us a perfect man that will save us from our sins, and death. Jehovah is the Most High and Jesus is the way to get saved.

And this is made clear in the most well known scripture in the world.

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him." John 3:16, 17

The coming of Jesus to the earth is the the fulfillment of the promise Jehovah made to Abraham, "And by means of your offspring all nations of the earth will obtain a blessing for themselves because you have listened to my voice.’” Gen 22:18

Medium Entity: What is "Worship"?

Christ: What Is Friendship?

Medium Entity: Isn’t that the purpose? To develop a friendship with The Father?

Christ: The Breath of The Source ... Minor Arcana

Medium Entity: 10 of Pentacles

Christ: The Power Of...

Medium Entity: This symbolises and reflects permanence and creating a lasting foundation for future success. It is a symbol of commitment to a sustainable future, taking into consideration not just the short-term gains of a particular venture but also the long-term benefits. "A consistent approach will achieve success that will last the test of time."
