worship of angels in the church?”
Glenda/ Venice, Italy
Bible Answer:
Angels are a part of Gods great
creation, not eternal, created.
Colossians 1:15-17 NLT
15 Christ is the visible image of the
invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme
over all creation,
16 for through Him God created
everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things
we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones,
kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything
was created through Him and for Him.
17 He existed before anything else,
and He holds all creation together.
And although it is true, angels have
more power than mere mortal man...
Hebrews 2:7 KJV (The Apostle speaking
of man stated...)
"Thou madest him a little lower
than the angels..."
Yet, they are not God, and “not,”
to be prayed to or to be worshiped. Who said so, why the very angels
of heaven have said so!
Revelation 19:9,10 NLT
9 And the angel said to me, “Write
this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the
Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”
10 Then I fell down at his feet to
worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant
of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about
their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy
is to give a clear witness for Jesus.
Revelation 22:8,9 NLT
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw
all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to
worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.
9 But he said, “No, don’t worship
me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the
prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book.
Worship only God!”
Our God told Israel...
Exodus 20:3-5 KJV
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before
Me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to
them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God..."
Exodus 34:14 KJV
For thou shalt worship no other god:
for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Deuteronomy 4:24 KJV
For the LORD thy God is a Consuming
Fire, even a jealous God.
Isaiah 48:11 KJV
"...I will not give My glory unto
another."
No one, be he angel or saint, is to
usurp the position of almighty God!
As the angels of heaven told the
beloved John...
Revelation 19:10/ 22:9 “...“No,
don’t worship me (Angels of heaven...Worship only God!”
