* Worship God in spirit and in truth.

 

(Comments by Joan Boney)


We do not worship God with our natural eyes, in the flesh of man.  (By looking at stained glass windows, or by hanging crosses on the wall, or by photos of a long haired man in long robe, or by lighting candles ... these are all fleshly.)


It benefits nothing to take trips to Israel and to walk on the streets where Jesus walked in Jerusalem.


This is fleshly and there is no spiritual power at all, it is all emotions of the flesh.


Jesus said:  John 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.


We worship God by "The Word."


The Holy Spirit brings the Word to our mind and we hear that Word and set about to do that Word, thereby following God by that Word.


We do not conjure religious emotions by doing fleshly things such as hanging wooden crosses on the wall, or by looking a figures which represent Jesus, or by lighting candles, or even by fleshly religious music which stirs up the fleshly emotions of man.  All this is religious witchcraft.
