Worship based on emotions - true or false?

[tripwire]

---

In much of Christianity today there has been a shift toward a new center, which may loosely be described as a shift from mind to emotion. The modern demand is for a religious “worship” experience that stresses feelings above reason, logic and doctrine. Many have abandoned biblically-defined worship and adopted religious entertainment, calling it worship. They have a pretense of Christianity, but it is only a facade, as Paul wrote: “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (II Tim. 3:5). For many, the final authority in matters of faith and morals is no longer the Word of God, but the inner workings of the human mind. Some denominations view the Bible as merely a historical document requiring human interpretation to correct its “errors.” People can unknowingly worship in ways that are far different from what they sincerely believe or intend. Grasp what is at stake with another Jesus. With a different savior ultimately comes a different “mediator,” “high priest,” “shepherd,” “bishop of our souls,” “apostle,” “king of kings,” “lord of lords,” and all of Christ’s other titles and roles.

When one does not understand the “simplicity in Christ” (II Cor. 11:3) and allow the Bible to interpret itself, the inevitable result is to soon be unwittingly following a very different savior.

Hope this make sense here.

Yes you make sense but you must apply first or ask that first to your CHurch and assess if "have abandoned biblically-defined worship and adopted religious entertainment, calling it worship."

Did you follow what the bible says how to worship God?

Peace!

@Tripwire

because they think that emotions are confirmations that their experience is TRUE.

So makalikoy jud diay ning "allow the Bible to interpret itself" matud pa ni St Paul.

All for the sake of fairness.


I would like to give credit to CHET R. ECHELBARGER for the article in the head post above.


A Counterfeit “Jesus”?


"Worship based on emotions" is taken from that article. See the 14th paragraph from the top.http://www.realtruth.org/articles/523-acj.html.



I pmed Miss Tripwire about this and she admitted that the article was from the aforementioned author. Of course all this was just a mere oversight on her part and it is quite understandable. She did not intend to plagiarize.


P.S. for the article all credit goes to CHET R. ECHELBARGER

Nice article.

So makalikoy jud diay ning "allow the Bible to interpret itself" matud pa ni St Paul.

... I don't really get how some people think this way. I mean, for cryin out lawd... "interpret itself?". Ma-interpret kaha na ug walay mo basa? (literally speaking). I don't think this is metaphorical statement also.
