Does God Accept ALL FORMS of Worship?

[@TitusWestMusic]

1 hour long episodes are not a bad thing at all.

[@hector_silvera]

I like this podcast format. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@calebjames7444]

This is one of the best I've heard yet from you guys. Thank you for keeping the thoughts centered on scripture.

Psalm 150:3-5 - "Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals." I know it says praise, however praise is an expression of worship. Furthermore, if you look at synonyms of praise worship is included as one of those synonyms.

[@eliphasphiri4090]

I can praise God using an instrument and God will accept it because he looks at the motive of the heart not the physical thing, instruments are neutral, they neither make us more holy nor less holy, it's mind boggling how Alexander Campbell could be decievesd like this and continue decieving, use your beautiful brain

[@austinholland8470]

Does the use of instruments aid or change the worship? It changes the worship. We have no commandments from God to use any physical instruments for worship, only singing (Col. 3:16; Eph.5:19). We are told in Rev 22:18-19 that if we add or take away from the scriptures, we are to be condemned, and we will be removed from the book of life. Pretty simple understanding. Denominationalism wants to add to what the individual wants to do and not what God wants.

According to faith doesn't mean according to rituals, faith is of the heart , the ritual was not important

[@elizabethhill9580]

Good teaching!

[@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295]

Aaron how about doing an episode on the System of Faith (the Apostles Doctrine) to show how one Truly comes to Christ to be saved? Thanks.

[@Pickup_man_1973]

Do you mean the oral traditions they taught to the 2nd generations of Christian’s? If so you’ll love the info from these writings! 😳👉 practicalapologetics.blogspot.com/p/255-pages-of-early-church-fathers.html

GOD'S Plan For Our Salvation...(Short/Condensed Version) The Holy Bible definitely teaches that there are steps that a person must take in order to be Saved and to come to CHRIST. We Must Hear the Gospel of CHRIST, for Faith comes by Hearing the Word of GOD (Romans 10:17). A person must Hear. The fact that we have sinned, GOD loves us, and CHRIST died for us is learned when the gospel is preached. In Every case of conversion found in the book of Acts, people first had to Hear...Romans 10:17, John 5:24, Acts 2:37, Acts 8:6, Acts 8:35; Acts 9:6, Acts 10:33, Acts 16:14, Acts 16:32, and Acts 19:5. As we Hear we learn that we have sinned...Romans 3:23, that GOD loves us...John 3:16, and that CHRIST died for us...Romans 5:8. Without Hearing the Gospel Of CHRIST, we Cannot come to CHRIST...John 6:44-45. Upon Hearing GOD'S Word, we must Believe...Mark 16:16, John 6:47. We Must All Believe in CHRIST, for Without Faith it is Impossible to Please GOD (Hebrews 11:6; John 8:24). This is another way of saying we must have Faith. Our SAVIOUR in John 8:24 said, if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins. Some denominations teach that a person is saved the moment he or she believes, but that is Not true. If that was true, then why was king Agrippa just almost a Christian? He believed...Acts 26:27-28. Why aren’t the devils saved? They believe...James 2:19. No, it takes More than just Believing and Faith only to be saved...James 2:24. A person must also Repent...Acts 2:38. We Must Repent of all of our past sins, for GOD Commands all men, every- where to Repent (Acts 17:30-31; Luke 13:3-5). Our LORD taught that Repentance was absolutely Necessary in Luke 13:3 and 5 or else we will perish. That is why Saint Peter commanded people in Acts chapter 2 to Repent. Repentance is a Turning...a Turning From Sin and Turning to GOD. If, upon Hearing and Believing GOD'S Word, and we are willing to Repent, then we all Must then Confess that our MESSIAH and CHRIST is the Only Begotten SON of GOD...Matthew 10:32, Matthew 16:16; Acts 8:37. Confession is made with the mouth unto (in the direction of) salvation as stated in Romans 10:9-10. Again, We All Must Confess our Faith in CHRIST JESUS as the Only Begotten SON of the Living GOD and our LORD (Romans 10:9-10). For HE said, He that Confesses ME before men, him will I also Confess before MY FATHER who is in Heaven (Matthew 10:32). Confession of our sins (1 John 1:7-9) After Confessing CHRIST to be the SON of GOD, then we all Must be Baptized...Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27. Baptism is the another step that helps to save us...1 Peter 3:21, because Baptism in the Holy Bible is for (in order to have) the Remission (Forgiveness) of our sins...Acts 2:38. Let our salvation be patterned after those we read about in the book of Acts! Again, We Must All be Baptized into CHRIST for the Remission of Sins, for saint Peter said, Repent, and be Baptized everyone of you in the Name of YESHUA CHRIST for the Remission of your sins (Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16). Now these first several Steps (Hearing, Believing, Repenting, Confessing and being Baptized) are only for Qualifying for the Race and now We All Must actually Run the Race that is set before us all...1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Galatians 2:2, Galatians 5:7, Philippians 2:16, Philippians 3:14, Hebrews 12:1-2, 2 Timothy 4:7, 2 Timothy 4:8. Running the Race is actually the very difficult part after becoming a christian or disciple of CHRIST. You know that in a Race all the runners Run, but only one gets the prize. So Run to Win! All those who compete in the games use self-control so they can win a crown. That crown is an earthly thing that lasts only a short time, but our crown will never be destroyed. So I do not Run without a goal. I fight like a boxer who is hitting something-not just the air. I treat my body hard and make it my slave so that I myself will not be disqualified after I have preached to others. Let us Run the Race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back and entangles us, and let us Run with endurance the Race that is set before us. After Baptism, then We all must Live a faithful godly Life in CHRIST and Live a Faithful Life for CHRIST. We all need to walk in our CHRIST’S Light...Revelation 2:10, 1 John 1:7. We also need to be CHRIST like in all we say and do, and in CHRIST church we must worship GOD in spirit and truth, partake of the LORD'S Supper every first day of the week, Praise and Glorify HIM and be a Servant and a Disciple of CHRIST. One must Live Faithfully as a disciple of CHRIST, Live for CHRIST and stay faithful to GOD...We Must Have Love For GOD and Everyone. We are all Blessed If we keep and do our GODS commandments...Revelation 22:13-14. We must encourage and edify others to stay faithful and fight the good fight faith until the end of our earthly lives. We must rightly divide the words of GOD and put them into practice what GOD teaches us from the words of life. We must also test the spirits of mankind in order to see if they really are from GOD or if they are from the evil one. We are saved by continuing in true righteous obedience to our only GOD, for this is showing that we truly Love our GOD if we obey HIM and keep HIS commandments...Revelation 2:10 Faith alone without works will not save us, for our GOD said faith without works is dead as per James 2:14-26. There is no such thing as once saved always saved, because anyone can fall from GOD’S Grace and be eternally lost. Once Saved Always Saved is False Teaching and False Doctrine and it is Only Wishful Thinking. We all should be willing to Suffer like and for CHRIST. A woman cannot speak or teach men in church meetings or church assemblies or congregational church service meetings as per 1 Corinthians 14:33-37 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Women must remain or be Silent in the churches of our LORD and GOD. A man must not wear a head covering or a veil whenever he prays to GOD and a woman must wear a veil or head covering whenever she prays to GOD as per 1 Corinthians 11:1-16. Our GOD is Composed of Three Spiritual Divine Beings...our Heavenly FATHER, HIS Only Begotten SON and our LORD and MESSIAH and CHRIST, and our HOLY SPIRIT. They All make up One GOD in Unified Oneness or One in Unity, One in Purpose, One in the Way, One in the Complete Truth, One in Patience, One in Meekness, One in Everlasting, One in Justice, One in Righteousness, One in Mercy or Mercifulness, One in Holiness, One in Hope, One in Perfect/Perfection, One in Harmony, One in Love, Etc.

Worship is sanctification as Romans 12:1-2, to do God's will in Christ, specified in Romans 12-15:19. By promise of faith, as Romans 10:10 and Deuteronomy 30:14-16.

[@eliphasphiri4090]

The example of Cain you using shows you didn't study it properly, one was accepted because it was given in faith, so it's about the heart not actions

[@sammysneed6679]

Any man who is in transgression of Gods word should be a man full of fear. Gods word is Gods word. Nothing else matters.

My worship involves eating the body of Christ because that’s what the Bible says…. 1 Corinthians 11:27 “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord”. 👈😳 Holy Moly! John 6 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever." This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Caperna-um. Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?” Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father." After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;” 1 Corinthians 10:16-21. “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes”

Judgement decides the strength of worship and faith, this must match Gods will and your promise of faith. I have a Ytube video series 'Myths in so-called Christianity' for the NT truth.

[@eliphasphiri4090]

You are very mistaken, worship ia about rules and procedure which you church of Christ rigidly try to adire to, worship is about the heart, you attitude towards God, you respect for God your adoration of God hence Jesus s words, true worshippers will worship in spirit and truth, your rituals doesn't mean you're right and everyone is wrong, God looks at the heart, if I play that guitar for God out of my heart and genuine love for. God, he accepts it

[@Rbl7132]

Yea sure Church of Christ.....God changed His mind about instruments in worship.... Sureeeeee What a CULT!

[@austinholland8470]

@rl6985 Explain what a cult is… then explain what about considering all scripture, not just selected scripture, to source our faith and doctrine, defines the church of Christ as a cult? If we do not have a commandment/scriptural authority to use instruments in our worship, then we have no excuse to use them.

[@Rbl7132]

@@austinholland8470 if you would just live up to your profession of faith, everything would be fine! For you, the center of the universe are Acts 2:38 and the verses at the end of Mark. In fact , you elevated preeminent over all other scripture. There are many false beliefs that you hold at this moment and I would love to show them in the all scripture that you profess to be loyal to. Tell me when you're ready

[@austinholland8470]

@@Rbl7132 i already asked you a specific question, well 2 actually, and you answered neither. Instead of trying to accuse of false doctrine, how bout you provide scripture that contradicts what Christ commanded in Mark 16:16, and what the apostles preached in Acts 2:38,42,47. Explain 1 Peter 3:21, Explain Christ speaking in Matthew 7:21-23. I’ve already said, we dont believe baptism alone saves, it’s fullfilling every step of the gospel to become saved: Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess, Be baptized, Continue to live a faithful Christian life.

do you burn incense, sacrifice animals, burn candles, have a holy of holy place behind a veil, wash before sacrifices, use instruments for music, give 10% of your earnings...this and more all practices of under the old covenant. If you aren't doing these things why not today...God didn't say 'not to' after all...right?
