Asking again...

If it was proven to you, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Jesus is in fact God, would you worship Him?

I've found healing from schizophrenia when I simply started to write praise poems, simply "trying" it without being so super convinced yet. I decided to try to accept christianity on faith, simply letting go of my doubts. My prime reason to worship God is the earth, the universe. The God who made it must be great indeed.

Although I must say that over time it turned out that I prefer quieter worship over the big contemporary praise songs.

Would I say hi? You bet. :)

Jesus was God. So are all of us. So is my dog. So is everything that exists. So is the universe.

[ex_restless]

So do you worship Jesus?

[ladyelaine]

Not in the way you mean. I try to follow his philosophy of loving others as I love myself. But I don't think he was more divine than anyone (or anything) else.

To expand on the OP's question, what if you discovered that Jesus was God and that the Gospel accounts of Him served as accurate portrayals of His nature and the nature of God. How would that affect your relationship with Him?

Other than adherence to what Jesus refers to as the second of the greatest commandments (meaning not even the most important one), and other than the fact that Jesus does not consider that a philosophy at all, but rather a commandment, is there anything else from the Gospel that you consider noteworthy? Or is it just that one line struck you and based on that line you decided to make a philosophy out of it?

Not an uncommon question:

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets...

[ex_restless]

Well, the OP isn't asking what that face would look like. He's saying specifically it would have the face of Jesus. His question is how, if at all, would you react?

I probably would, if I didn't have to also accept everything the Bible says. But if I did, I think I would feel similar to ladyelaine - I couldn't, with a clear conscious, worship a god which allows the existence of hell.

Thanks for your answer.

[empress544]

i guess the other possibility would be that, assuming Christianity is true and i did start sincerely believing in Jesus and praying, then maybe in regards to Hell or whatever i would achieve some understanding that i don't have now.

It sounds to me like being convinced of Jesus' divinity would cause you to at least be more open to other concepts found in Christian teaching. That is slightly different from ladyelaine's answer. She has ruled it out altogether. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would sum up your approach as "If this is true, the other things are worth looking into."
