Does it matter how we praise the Lord?
 
Friends, it is very common to hear hippy-dippy false Christians claim that all prayer is equally good to God, or that it doesn't matter how we live as long as we live morally, or some such similar nonsense. This is a very dangerous myth. The Lord is very particular about how He wants to be worshipped.
Leviticus 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

The sons of Aaron offered incense to the Lord when He hadn't asked them to, so He burns them to death. Got that? You praise the Lord when He tells you to, how He tells you to, and if you get it wrong, He'll kill you. Leviticus 10 also carries another good moral message for us:
Leviticus 10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.

Here, Moses (God's chosen emissary) tells Aaron not to mourn the death of his sons. If God kills your child for worshipping Him the wrong way, it is not your place to mourn God's decision, in case God gets offended and decides to kill you too. Praise!

The Lord is very strict about how He wants to be worshipped. Look at what happened to Korah:
Numbers 16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

So, Korah and his associates asked why, if all men are created equal, and God loves all His servants, why should some of them lift themselves up so much higher than the rest?

4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

So, Moses challenges him to a kind of "holiness duel". Essentially, he just tells him to worship God, and see what happens.
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

So God opens up the earth, and it swallowed up Korah, and all the men that appertained unto him, and everything they owned, including their houses. Then he burns 250 of Korah's friends who'd offered Him incense. It's important to bear in mind here that these folks weren't being killed for worshipping false gods; they were worshipping God, just not in the right way.
So, in conclusion, next time you think about disagreeing with me or any of the other Church elders, I'd urge you to remember the story of Korah, and then shut up.

PRAISE JESUS! (only in the way He wants to be praised, of course.)

Re: Does it matter how we praise the Lord?
 
Perhaps our little Catholic friends would do well to review what this all means to them!

Men wearing dresses - forbidden

Calling priests "father" - forbidden

Worshipping statues - forbidden

Praying to gods other than God ("saints" and the "virgin" mary) - forbidden

Putting "tradition" over Scripture - forbidden

All these and scores of other basic tenets of their faith condemn them to the same fate as Nadab and Abihu!

Then what does this mean to our Wicker friends, like Van Hellsmurf? Oh, dear. I do hope she and Lilith straighten up and fly right . . .

How dare you! We are full of Christian love and compassion. In fact, we have enough Christian love and compassion to tell people the Bible's truth about their sinful lifestyle choices and what will happen to them if they don't Repent® and become True Christians™.

Galatians 4:16: Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

If I were even half as deep in sin as you (although I have a hard time imagining how I could be), I'd certainly want people to show me how to avoid eternal damnation, so that is what I do for others.

Luke 6:31: And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

I suppose that in your sick and twisted secular conception of "love," we should be P.C., avoid telling the truth, and just let people slide into eternal hell. Yeah, that's really loving. :sarcasm: If that's your conception of "love," you prancing nancy, you can keep it.

My unsaved accountant told me that they worship something called "Share." He didn't explain what "Share" is, but if the homers are as obsessed with it as my unsaved accountant seems to think they are, then it must be a vile demon indeed.

Amen, Brother! It's about time someone stood up to those sissy, mamby-pamby fake Christians and told them to get in line before God knocks them into hell. It's them spreading blatant lies about Christianity that has the world in shambles and so many Christians confused about who God is. Take parrotlover for example. Linda is so deluded she wants to leave. What a shame.
