The Bible teaches that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same God that Jesus said we should pray to when we pray, "Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name".
True. You are correct, here, in saying that the Bible teaches that Jesus is the same God that Jesus said His people (which excludes genuineoriginal) should pray to when we pray, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name".
So, yes the Bible does teach the doctrine that we are to worship "The Father" as God.
Again, you use a phrase--a formula, in fact--found (as far as I am aware, at least) nowhere in the Bible:
"worship [ ] as [ ]"
What (if anything) would you say it is to worship someone/something AS someone/something? I ask you because that is
your formula, and not the Bible's.
What (if anything) would you say is the difference between worshiping the Father, on the one hand, and worshiping the Father AS God, on the other? What motivates you to choose to say "worship the Father AS God" over saying, simply, "worship the Father"?
Oh, also, when you say "worship 'The Father' as God", to what/whom are you referring by your word, 'God'? Are you referring to the Father? Are you saying that we are to worship the Father AS the Father--that is, that we are to worship the Father AS Himself? If not, then AS
what or whom would you say we are to worship the Father?
John 4:23-24
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |
See: absolutely nothing there about worshiping the Father AS ______. That's
your formula, not the Bible's. Do you even mean anything by it?
Instead, what we
do see in the text you included is mention of worshiping the Father in spirit and in truth. No mention, though, of worshiping the Father AS ______.
However, the Trinity doctrine is not taught by the Bible in any form.
You've already asserted
that falsehood, over and over and over... Simply more vain repetition from your anti-Christ, satan-enthralled mind.
So, it is not the phrase that I am opposed to, it is the false claim that the Bible teaches the Trinity.
Here, you've just reworded, yet again, the falsehood you've already been asserting, over and over and over.... Simply more vain repetition from your anti-Christ, satan-enthralled mind.
If you choose to refuse to worship the Father as God despite the teaching of the Bible, that is your choice, and your final destination will be the lake of fire.
The Bible never says anything about worshiping anything, or anyone AS anything, or anyone, and thus, the Bible never says anything about worshiping the Father AS God. That's your own, nonsensical, extra-Biblical formula; nobody's going to the lake of fire on a charge of refusing to be an ignorant cluck in the manner that you are, here, manifesting yourself to be an ignorant cluck. Back to the drawing board for you.
