Ephesians 6:12 KJV [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. bible.com/bible/1/eph.6.…

I appreciate the question! 2 Peter 1:20 isn’t forbidding private interpretation by believers. Its saying prophecy didn’t originate from mans own ideas (see verses 2 Peter 1:16-21). God revealed it; we don’t get to make it up. This is common misperception that I see a lot. Every believer is part of the royal priesthood (1 Pet 2:9) and is commanded to rightly handle Scripture (2 Tim 2:15). We all interpret when we read. The Holy Spirit teaches us, and God gives teachers to equip the church. But Scripture alone is the authority, not a central body that dictates the only “correct” reading. Context matters. Sola Scriptura doesn’t mean “no interpretation or even only scripture”. It means the text itself is sufficient and clear enough for the priesthood of believers to understand. I hope that answers your question. Thank you for your response. It is most appreciated.

@RedTailHawk03 @Protestia I appeciate your response and for guiding me to that part of the scriptures wasnt aware it was that direct on what worship looks like. I did have one question after reading what you linked you believe in scripture alone but say that we shouldn't interpret it who should?

This is some of the finest pew walking and pulpit stomping we've ever seen. 🤌🤌🤌

Agreed it is disrespectful to Sacred Space. I do understand this and do understand Sacred Space. How this particular application of worship is unbiblical though not the worship style. The only real issue here is the chaos and disorder that goes against 1 Corinthians 14. Other than that there is freedom in the Body of Christ to worship how we will so long as it is biblical, reverential, and done faithfully. Here is some of the same argument already done on another post similar to yours. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and be blessed. Solei Deo Gloria x.com/i/status/20383…

@RedTailHawk03 @Protestia The reason its hard to watch is because its disrespectful to God's house I feel part of you knows that and is why you feel this is wrong despite it not going against the Bible. If thats the case then we cant argue everyone can worship however they want because then this happens.

@F1ashL1ght It was inspired by the new algorithm that has inundated us with Japanese posts. I felt I needed to share something.

@RedTailHawk03 really liking this theme😍🌱

Thank you for sharing that. Its most appreciated. Hallelujah that scripture is the authority we look to define worship. I agree that Sola Scriptura is the way to go. I agree with 2 Peter 1 that its shouldn't be from ones own interpretation of scripture. However you didn’t actually answer any of my points on worship you just restated sola scriptura and bounced. You responded with authority when I was looking for application. Let’s actually open the Book real quick: Worship biblically is both heart (proskuneo) AND whole-life service (latreuo-Romans 12:1). Jesus in John 4:23-24 said true worship is “in spirit and truth”: heart-driven by the Holy Spirit, lined up with God’s Word, not tied to one building, one style, or one culture’s rules. The Father is seeking people who do it that way. But Scripture never hands us a detailed checklist or says “your interpretation is the only one.” Romans 14 straight-up says on disputable matters (like days, food… and yeah, worship expressions) we don’t judge each other; each of us answers to God, not to the guy next to us. Psalms command dancing, clapping, loud noise AND quiet reverence. 1 Cor 14 says do it decently and in order so the church gets built up… but Paul didn’t ban the passion, he just regulated it. So yeah, to each their own-so long as it’s directed to the true God, in spirit and truth, builds up the body, and matches Scripture. That’s not “my truth.” That’s the Bible leaving room for freedom in the body while holding the line on the heart. You dropped the authority verse but skipped the actual application. There is freedom in the Body of Christ in the way we worship. We just need to approach the way others worship with grace and charity. Otherwise its just my way or no way. I dont believe God really meant it to be that way.

@RedTailHawk03 @Protestia Christ defines it. Regarding interpretation, Peter, taught by Christ, has an excellent and helpful guardrail for us in this matter: “…knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation…” (2 Peter 1). Thankfully, we have God’s word<3

See told ya so...

Thank you for the response. I agree with the verse you shared. I just have some points that need cleared up. If you would please: Define Worship Define who gets to determine what worshipping in Spirit and Truth means Define what Worshipping in Spirit and Truth is What is freedom in the body of Christ? Is your interpretation the only way? How do we know what is true and proper worship when its not fully and clearly defined in the bible? These are all great questions that many do not answer on their way of telling others how they must worship God. The way I see it everyone has a different way of defining worship. Everyone claims that their way is the only way to worship. There is freedom in the Body of Christ to worship God as one sees fit. So long as it is done biblically and faithfully. Each have their way of determining and defining this. Who am I to tell others that the way they worship (so long as it is biblically sound) is wrong or right? Some dance and sing praise Some pray and sing hymns. Some use the alter some don't. Some take the Eucharist/communion every mass/church service, others do it once a month. Its not about forcing others into one style of worship. Rather accepting that others worship differently and seeing that people are worshipping God. God knows who is genuine and who does it falsely. So why do we take it upon ourselves to tell others they are wrong when its God that ultimately determines what is right or wrong worship? Why do intentionally divide ourselves because of our viewpoint on a secondary issue? The key is not seeing that only "my" way of worship is what matters. Rather people giving worship to God in the way they are comfortable with and know how is what truly matters. Its not about man's way of worshipping God. Its about the fact that God being the true God is being worshipped as He truly deserves in a way that is honoring and reverential to the True God. If only people would have a more open heart and mind to see that their way isnt the only way so long as it is directed in the proper place. The biggest divide between fellow members of the Body is about worship. Why should it be divisive if we all are worshipping the True God whom is Spirit and Truth. So yes there really is a "to each their own". So long as we give others the same Grace and Charity that was given to us. Thats the beauty of the freedom Christs affords us. Instead we use it as club instead of receiving it and giving back in the manner it was given. Freely and openly. This is how I see things. Worship is not a black and white picture. Its a fully colored picture that only works when all the colors are allowed to be shown. The only way to do that is to allow God to be the artist and we just focus on blending the colors he uses.

@RedTailHawk03 @Protestia There is no “to each their own” worship. Rather, Christ Jesus says, “…the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23

No but really. Now do you see how easy it is to shift the mood and sow discontent? Using that force for good is a welcome change.

SECOND SPHINX allegedly found under Egyptian Pyramids Researchers say scans of Giza Plateau may have revealed a hidden second Sphinx buried underground, along with a possible vast ‘megastructure’ — Daily Mail reports

10 SUNSPOT GROUPS! DURING THE 10 DAY PORTAL EVENT???????? ☀️🔥 Suddenly the solar disK is absolutely peppered with sunspots. Including three new dark cores emerging over the eastern limb, there are now at least 10 sunspot groups on the Earthside of the Sun. This dramatically increases the odds of geoeffective flares in the days ahead as the PLAYERS make themselves known. The PLAYERS are arriving right in the middle of the 10-day portal window. Coincidence? The board is getting crowded… and the game is heating up fast. Who is coming??? Who is already here??? Stay tuned...

The Fed's worst nightmare is materializing in front of our eyes. What is often overlooked is that the Fed primarily controls demand-side inflation, not supply-side inflation. In other words, it can influence how much people borrow and spend, but it cannot directly increase supply, like producing more oil. This means that in the case of a supply-shock, as we are seeing now with energy prices, the Fed often has to overcompensate on the demand-side to contain inflation, and vice-versa. During the pandemic in 2020, this meant effectively cutting interest rates to zero, as lockdowns triggered a sharp collapse in demand alongside widespread supply disruptions. With oil and gas prices skyrocketing, our models suggest US CPI inflation is set to rise toward 3.5%, or 150 basis points above the Fed's long-run target. In a vacuum chamber, this means the Fed should tighten policy and theoretically hike rates. However, the issue becomes the fact that the US labor market is objectively at its weakest point in years, and it has not improved despite recent Fed easing. Therefore, if the Fed hikes interest rates now, the US is positioning itself for a full-blown labor market crisis. On the flip side, if the Fed does not tighten its policy stance, US CPI inflation could potentially even exceed 4.0%, depending on how long the Iran War persists, and how long the post-war recovery takes. In a sudden turn of events, the Fed is now forced to pick between 3.5%+ inflation or 5.0%+ unemployment. The Fed is in a very bad spot.

SOON.
