Do you have the text of what the young men are singing?
Want to make a bet that they are NOT singing a text that praises Jesus Christ?
Men genuflect before the Queen of England. Are they idolaters?
Oh, no, you might say. In that CONTEXT it is understood that bending the knee is not an act of adoration.
Just so.
Adoration does not consist in kneeling, bowing, etc. Adoration is an act of the INTELLECT and the WILL. I can commit idolatry while driving down the freeway or mowing the lawn. I can also offer God adoration while driving down the freeway or mowing the lawn.
Photographs show gestures or postures. The intellect and the will do not show up in photographs.
...”Photographs show gestures or postures. The intellect and the will do not show up in photographs”....
True worship of God is essentially internal, a matter of the heart and spirit ‘rooted’ in Jesus and in the knowledge of and obedience to the revealed Word of God by and of His Holy Spirit.
Worship is a matter of relationship....yet God tells us to refrain from all appearances of evil.....bowing to, dressing up corpses, digging them up and dismembering them and then displaying them before people in the church is evil...period.
