    Wakeup is reluctantly learning these things in another thread……. which is why I won't bother to reply to his last post in this one.


    MikeB.

    THe whole host in heaven bowed diwn to worship God and the Lamb.

    Why would you seperate The Lamb from God,
    and only worship God?

    Excuse me Lamb,could you just stand over there
    so I can worship God only.

    wakeup.


    Hmmm………..

    So the whole congregation BOWED before God, and God's SERVANT, huh?  Very good.  That must have been one worthy and faithful SERVANT for everyone to bow before him and pay homage to him.

    But is that “worship”?  Or is “worship” something else, that is to be given ONLY to Jehovah, our God, like His SERVANT Jesus Christ told us?

    Consider 1 Chronicles 29:20 in the KJV.  Do you suppose the congregation BOWED before both Jehovah and His SERVANT David, to pay homage?

    Or does it make more sense to you that these Israelites WORSHIPED the SERVANT of God, David, who they knew was just a man?

    Let's put it this way:  If you believe the Lamb, who is a SERVANT of God, was truly “worshiped”, then you must also believe that David, the SERVANT of God, was truly “worshiped”.

    And if the “worship” of the Lamb is because the Lamb is God Himself, then the “worship” of David must also be because David was God Himself.

    See?  They are both similar examples of people bowing before God and one of His SERVANTS.  So if one of the examples means the SERVANT actually IS “God”, then so does the other one.

    And to answer your question, I would ABSOLUTELY worship ONLY God, and NOT His servant, the Lamb.  (His Lamb is the one who taught me this.)

    THAT SERVANT HAPPENS TO BE GOD, HIS OWN WORD.
    MY WORD IS ALWAYS MY SERVANT. IT OBEYS ME WHAT I WANT TO SAY.IT CAN NOT SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT MY
    PERMISSION.

    Plus, Pierre has a good question for you. I'll await your answer to how the Word OF God, who also happens to BE God – according to you – was tempted.

    God can't be tempted, can He?

    That's simple Mike,

    God gives the command, and his Word OBEYS.
    God's word has been tried and proven true.
    The spoken Word always performs God's instructions.
    His Word serves him, and is not opposed to him,
    His Word is true, and does not make him a liar.

    We do not have that same power. Our word does not always obey us.
    eg “Tomorrow I will mow the lawn” ….may not happen until next week.

    Our word does not serve us 100% of the time, but God's Word does. His Word is in subjection to him.

    But I believe that scriptures says about God ,that he commands and things are done ,just as the architect on the job does he commands how and what and when to do it but he also says who does  it and why ,

    So it is not his voice and the words that have power ,but his position in the project ,and so it is with God who his the master architect  builder of all creation ,and his millions of Angels that serve him ,we Know some rebel ,

    As I understand your view ,as no support in scriptures ,it is a made up explanation by blinded men .

    Does your word serve you Pierre?
    How many times have you said to us, “Bye Bye, I will not speak to you anymore, or ever again” and then you're back conversing very same day!
    Honestly, can we take you serious?  
    Did your Word prove to be true?

    When God was: before all creation started;

    LU,

    Jehovah called himself the first and last God. That means that only those that were either the only one or the complete of something would call themselves the first and the last. I cannot think of anyone that would apply to but only children and I am not sure of any instances of that but Isaac who was Sara's only child. I do know that first and last was commonly used for the works of kings.

    Hi Pierre

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say?
    What I was trying to say is that God's word serves him. Whatever God speaks, the Word does. It serves him.
    I was giving you an example of your word, don't get offended ok. We humans often say things that we mean at the time, but we do the opposite. That was my point. If I say, I am going to mow the lawn tomorrow, and when tomorrow comes, it rains, so I can't do it, ..then in the end, I didn't keep my word, did I?
    We are not “all knowing” like God is. Our word doesn't serve us, but makes us look like liars sometimes. We say things in anger like “don't ever speak to me again”, and then after we've calmed down we have forgiveness.
    We are not all knowing like our Father is, and our Word is not true like his is. We cannot even compare ourselves to him, but we can try to be like him the best we can, and either keep our mouths shut, or say I will do this tomorrow Lord willing.

    The Word WAS God. USED TO BE GOD. He brought his Word out and gave it a form, an IMAGE of himself.
    God didn't transform himself, but transformed HIS WORD into the man Jesus Christ when he came into the world.
