If you do then you may as well adore the sun or moon or that rock at your feet. "
No the moon or rocks didn't create us. They are lifeless creations. God we come from.
He deserves honor which is all worship is. Infact God stated himself that he wants a intimate freindship type of worship.
and whynot honor that which we come from?
Can I walk all over God just because he can't help being him?
right?
Can I do that to my parents?
Can I say.
" dad you're who you are, I'll show you no respect because I don't have to "
No ofcourse not.
I came from my dad, and I still honor him which is all God wants.
Yet my dad didn't even create my soul.
peace greatestI am.

A major league baseball player becomes a professional baseball player through years of hard work and a strong vision in addition to being gifted. We humans rever professional athletes because they are born with talent and use their talent in a way that entertains us. We exist because God put in a lot of hard work and had a strong vision for us. We adore God because he was naturally gifted with all powerful abilities and used them for our good. So I would not say a professional athlete cannot help being a pro, and I would not say God cannot help being God, the athlete was not always a pro, and God was not always our God.

Respect and love are to be shared. To just waste it when you do not know if it is reaching a destination is silly.
All you have is hear say and Bible says and you are willing to believe in the important issue of finding God on scanty and improbable fantasy hear say.
Give your head a shake. "
Yea I will shake it because I didn't understand a word of that. You made a mistake.
the thread is (assuming God is real)
so assuming that, it's not improbable fantasy hearsay consdiering it's assuming God is real. Which we believe and have 2,000 years of miracles for a testimony.
That's what belief is.
peace.
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
I've never told a mountain to "be removed". ...Never felt the need to. But a friend of mine has. He was driving cross-country and pulled the car over to eat a sandwich his wife had made for him. He found himself at the foot of a mountain. He felt somehow he should command the mountain before him to be removed. He couldn't get this thought out of his mind, so, feeling foolish, he did just that. A year or more later, he happened to return to that very spot and discovered....yes, there were a couple of a new houses, built on nicely leveled ground, right where the moutain had stood. I won't try to find a lesson in this, but it sure is interesting.
