Do you kneel before God literally?

What a ludicrous question. Do you imagine Protestants are adverse to kneeling to God?

Protestants kneel to none but Christ.

We do not make the mistake of the RCC which encourages falling down before wooden and gilded statues of men. There is so much admonishment in Scripture against what you do that most Protestants fear for the souls of our RC friends on this one subject alone. God does not take kindly to idol-worship. In fact, its prohibition is the second commandment. And with Mary fast becoming a co-redeemer, you're dangerously hedging the first commandment as well.

You kneel to graven images of human beings. Repent of it.

"But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." -- Psalm 115:3-8

It isn’t ludicrous. It is an illustration between our different performances of worship.

As stiff necked as you think that I may be, I will physically kneel before God. Or what you might say is my belief in what God is - the Eucharist. The Bible is full of the command to kneel. How much does the average Protestant kneel? How much do you?

I have asked in another thread about the practices of worship as it pertains to kneeling before God and I have had no good answer. I have had none here; I will rely on my time spent in Protestant services: none. Not only a little, none.

I am truly sad about this; I thought that Bible only meant Bible only. And that words meant specific things.
