If you are God, will you tell me how you wish to be worshiped, or will you leave it up to me?

Assuming I had created humans with an almost infinite level of individuality and creativity, I would leave it up to them.

I think he had done both

Read the Bible.

He gave you free will. Choose wisely.

I'm not asking for me I'm asking a simple question - does God have a way he wishes us to worship him or does God want us to do it our own way.

his way or our way

please back up what you believe

not meant to be controversial

The Greatest commandment answers that.

God has outlined a way for us to worship him in the proper way through his word Bible. Not for selfish reason but because he created us and knows what will benefit us the most and make us happy.

Silky if you dont mind could you please point out where God gives us those instructions - the Bible is a big book

I thank you

When you read an article or a book, so you read one sentence, paragraph, or chapter and know the answers or outcome? There’s no one specific reference, read the entire book and you’ll find the answer.

What about the followers of the Apostles, first-century Christians - the Bible was not "in print" until approx 350 AD - did they, in their writings describe how they worshiped?, I would assume they "got it right" being they were very close to the Apostles. has anyone read the writings of how the early Christians worshiped?

thanks for the responses - greatly appreciated

John 4:23-24

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

If people are serious about finding out about God find a Bible believing church and ho there and ask the pastor questions.

As K-zoo showed above. Get to know what truth is as outlined in the Bible. So, our worship must be based on God's word. Jesus said at John 17:17 "Your word is truth". Make sure it can be backed by scripture. Some places teach tradition rather than the commandment of God.

Ex. 20: 4, 5 / Isa. 42:8 - Worship God only, without the use of any idol, image, or icon.

Rom 12:1 - Our worship must be holy and acceptable. We must live by his moral standards.

Heb. 10: 24, 25 - You're to gather together.

I would leave it up to you.

There 1 thing a person has to get to worship God in Sprit is the baptism of the Holy Sprit.

God made everything and everyone on the planet. He made everything else too. If he cared how people worshiped him, he would have absolutely no trouble making sure that everyone knew the right way to do it. I highly doubt God needs or wants us to worship him at all. If he did, he would have been absolutely clear about it. He is greater than we are. People can only partially comprehend God. None of us know his true nature or what he truly wants.

Probably no two people on the planet agree 100% about the nature of God and what he wants. Many Christians will tell you to look in the Bible for your answers, ignoring the fact that the overwhelming majority of human beings, created by God, never heard about the Bible and didn't and don't believe in it. That is very strong evidence that the Bible is not important to God.

Creation is overall good. God is therefore likely overall good. I believe we are made somewhat in God's image. I think it likely that God is in everyone and everything. I think he wants us to be good and creative, as he is. I think helping other reach there full good potential, would please God. I hope to some day know what God wants.

When u get to the pearly gates and God shows you a thousand ways he has revealed himself and what he wants and says man has chosen to reject it because of there self centered nature what would you say?

I believe God will say I showed myself to the world a thousand times over and most chose to disbelieve.

If the Bible is God's word and I fully believe it is the vast majority of the world won't have any better of a chance of getting off the hook than telling the judge we didn't know the speed limit and getting the ticket dismissed

Like myself at one point, I think a lot chose not to believe because deep down inside we don't want to live by those values. We are stubborn and self serving.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Here a few facts

Rom 1:20 ever since God created the world his invisible qualities,both his eternal power and his divine nature haveneen clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God makes. So these people have no excuse at all.
