Where in the Bible does it say we can worship God however we please?

Question

Melynda, excellent point! Not many will admit that.

Answer 1

It doesn't.

What it does say is not to worship YHVH as the pagans worship their God. Sunday worship, Christmas, Easter are all pagan days including all the abominal practices that are associated with them, that have been borrowed by "Christians" and sanitized by putting Gods name on it. He specifically said not to do this. Duet 12

What it does say is to be careful to keep all of His commands and His statutes including but not excluded to, the Sabbath, His Holy Days (annual Sabbaths) and the food laws. He specifically singles out the sabbath as important above all his other commandments. Why do "Christians" insist this is the one we should not keep? Isaiah 56 (and a host of other places) (pay particular attention to the warning at the end of this chapter)

To those who said we can worship Him how we want because we are to worship Him is spirit and In truth, What do you think the truth is? John 4

The truth is the word of God, Old and New testiments and the truth is embodied in the person of Yahshua and he wouldn't and couldn't nullify cancel out His own very words since He (Yahshua) was the manifistation of God that so many of the Patriarchs and heros in the Old Testement saw, including Moses, because Yahshua himself declares that no man has seen the Father except He who was sent by the Father. In otherwords the very person "Christians" claim nailed the law to the cross was the very one who gave the law to Moses. It is He who made a covenant with and renewed that covenant with those who trust (have faith in or believe in) and OBEY him. Pslams 119, John 17, John 1, John 14, John 6,

Or do "Christians" forget that Yahshua Messiah is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Of course They do, Its inconvenient for them to acknowledge the truth and admit they are yet in their sins. Hebrews 13, 2 Thess 2, 1 Tim 6, 2 Tim 3, 2 Tim 4,

Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand!

Answer 2

I do not believe the bible says this in those words.
Matthew 25:32&33 talks about a seperating, the results of our choices are explained from verse 34 t0 46.
Joshua 24:14 & 15 offers a choice.
2 Peter 1:10 urges us to make the sure of our choice.
Ephesians 4:4to 6 & Matthew 7:13&14 both indicate one path or way . This would lead to the assumption that people may follow or worship many different ways, but if it's not aceptable worship there would be no reward.
Ephesians 5:10 make sure of what is acceptable.
Romans 10:2&3 show it is not good if worship is not in line with God.
I guess we are all free to choose our own path but we must accept the results of our choices.

Answer 3

See, the problem lies in the fact that times have changed dramaticaly since the Bible was written. People used to honor God by burning sacrifices such as animals and whatnot. Such a practice has all but disappeared nowadays.

If nothing else, you can worship God by merely being the person He called you to be. Practice acts of kindness in His name and you'll be surprised at how much of that blessing will come right back to you. Ask God for ways to be a blessing to others, especially at this time of year. (Luke 6:37-39)

I realize this may not have answered your question definitavely, but I thought it would be a good place to start. Good luck!

Answer 4

It doesn't, even though most churches think it does.

Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

For example Easter, Christmas, Sunday worship, etc. all have pagan worship origins.

Even Aaron and the people worshiped a molten calf unto Elohim and we all know what happened after that.

Hosea 8:12 Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law, They are regarded as a strange thing.

Answer 5

It doesn't say that, however it does say that God looks for people who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth and that God looks on the hearts of people. Therefore believers have a certain leeway in what ways they choose to worship God. If a form of worship is not prohibited in the Bible and if it is offered with a reverant heart then it isn't up to other believers to come along like the Pharisees of Jesus' day and claim that their man made traditions are the only acceptable form of worship. When it comes to disputable matters in the faith the Bible says:

Romans 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

Answer 6

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Answer 7

well, the Bible is full of rules and descriptions of the horrible things that will happen if you fail to follow them. since the rules were written for ancient Hebrews by ancient Hebrews i guess it's up to you to decide for yourself which of the rules apply to you. good luck with that. your god has a nasty temper.

Answer 8

Where in the Bible does it say that all Christian teaching MUST be found in the Bible?
IT DOESNT

Jesus didn't establish a Bible, He established a Church. Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). Among the Christian churches, only the Catholic Church has existed since the time of Jesus. Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The heretical protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. Only the Catholic Church existed in the tenth century, in the fifth century, and in the first century, faithfully teaching the doctrines given by Christ to the apostles, omitting nothing. The list of popes can be traced back to Peter himself, the first pope. Here is a list:

Jesus’ Church is called catholic ("universal" in Greek) because it is his gift to all people. He told his apostles to go throughout the world and make disciples of "all nations" (Matt. 28:19–20). For 2,000 years the Catholic Church has carried out this mission, preaching the good news that Christ died for all men and that he wants all of us to be members of his universal family (Gal. 3:28).
