Why is worshiping Creation considered evil by some Christians?

Question

I read about a Natural Man and it has nothing to do with worshiping nature or Gods Creation. Yet, there are those who confuse the concept of a Mother Earth as sacred, and praying for her protection and OUR home as evil. While others claim that man shall have dominion over the earth as evil and responsible for pollution and desecrating the environment. Jesus prayed in a veil of nature as did Mohammad and other biblical Prophets and earth spirituality people, could it be that radicle right religion has it wrong?

Answer 1

Don't panic, i am having to go through my answers page to get to my 360 for some reason.

Saw this and thought i would give my view, 'thats all'.

The way i see it is !!!.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter which part of the world you live in or what religion or beliefs you follow.
Man is on a path of destruction.

Always has been and always will be.

Your home is what 'you' make it, for we are all responsible for our own actions.

No 'True of Heart', would use thier belief system to inflict harm on Mother Earth intentionally.

Sad fact is. The only ones on this earthly planet that i find to treat it with the respect it so rightly deserves are the four-leggeds and winged ones.
For they have not been corrupted by falsehoods.

Humans think they are the superior race!!. No chance!!!

I don't care what religion/belief they have, or how they follow this.

Answer 2

I am not a real religious person but I do know that praying for and worshiping are to completely different things. I think some Christians get hooked up on "You shall have no other gods before Me." You shouldn't worship anything other than God, but you can pray for anything or anyone.

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God has given us dominion over the earth - we are responsible for it. God created it.

Revelation 14:7
and he said with a loud voice, " Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters."

There is no creature or any other part of His creation that is greater than God or deserves worship. Mother earth is not "sacred".... It is an important responsibility and deserving respectful consideration for all of life. What becomes of it is determined by us all while we are here.

Answer 4

Islam isn't a faith in any respect. it incredibly is a totalitarian political ideology that makes use of theology to justify itself. It instructions that each and all and sundry governments interior the worldwide enforce sharia regulation, and seeks to impose itself international efficiently snuffing out another way of existence, faith, and custom in the worldwide, and is going approximately winding up this activity via utilising the main underhanded approaches which you could think of. Muslims have no quarrels approximately mendacity, enjoying on people's sympathy, and choking those with their stable intentions to learn potential. Islam does no longer mean "peace", it capacity submission, renounce. the reason people say "islam is a faith of peace", is by way of the fact islam seeks to weigh down the different ideology or faith in the worldwide, subsequently combating conflict. the subject with it is that it is not peace, it is enslavement. the unhappy concern is that maximum women in islamic societies do no longer even comprehend that they are no longer something better than slaves. it quite is why we hate islam, because of the fact it is tyranny.

Answer 5

because there is a saying which goes like this:

Thou shalt not have any other gods before me. and should not make for youselves anything in the heavens, not of anything that is in the earth, or in the waters beneath the earth.

Between heaven and earth that covers everything that could enter the sight of imagination.......

there is only ONe... He is unseen, and He cannot be formed with the hands that one should be inclined to honor with their hearts... such a thing is called "idolatry"... and we dont worship idols!!!



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

Answer 6

Jesus never worshiped creation. At one point he actually destoryed it to prove a point he pointed to a tree and said "Be thou withered up!" Jesus prayed in a garden, but we shouldn't consider the garden as significant as the prayer itself. Worshiping a creation sounds rediculous as a sentence and as a concept. A "Creation" must naturally have a "Creator" we are being foolish to worship anything we realize is lower on the totem pole than something else. Don't you agree?

Answer 7

Elohim, my GOD, declares:

"Romans 1:25 :Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

There is NO "mother earth", GOD created the earth, and GOD sends forth lightnings and thunders from the east to the west, GOD is in control of "nature"....not some unreal god concept.

Have no other gods.....GOD ALONE IS TO BE WORSHIPPED!

Answer 8

Please see the book of Romans, Chapter 1.

You're not giving credit where credit is due. God created nature. Why worship a creation just like yourself?

EDIT - Ah, and there's Romans chapter one right down there in case you don't have a copy of the Bible. Cheers brothers and sisters!

Answer 9

ROMANS CHAPTER 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
