Ohh how holy ! (is that what I am supposed to say??)
I guess if kneeling or being prostrate is good enough for Jesus Christ, it is good enough for all
The scripture posted says nothing about kneeling.. Where does jesus teach that kneeling is the proper position for prayer.
I can tell you where it comes from..tradition.. God is not interested in our posture, or He would have addressed it
We think that we can commend ourself to God..He is just notthat easily impressed :)
In the Garden during His prayers to God. Also; it is the traditional posture for supplication throughout the OT before God and before the king.
Psalm 95: 1 Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; cry out to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us greet him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms. 3 For the LORD is the great God, the great king over all gods, 4 Whose hand holds the depths of the earth; who owns the tops of the mountains. 5 The sea and dry land belong to God, who made them, formed them by hand. 6 Enter, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
“Ohh how holy ! (is that what I am supposed to say??)”
Nope. I just posted at what I do. I don’t particularly need your approval or disdain or comment or any humans for that matter.
The only one I want to please and adore is God.
Read it again. He knelt.
“We think that we can commend ourself to God..He is just notthat easily impressed :)”
I’m a creature. A created thing. The only mind I have is Christ and the only commendation is to adore the One God.
The idea that God is “impressed” is such an alien thought to my mind, it must be the domain of the “elect” Calvinists thinking that the Holy One could be “impressed.”
