Yet it does matter, in more severity then most imagine.
My definition of worship is to put anything or anyone in front of ones eyes to view it as powerful or able to explain, reveal, express, define, seek advice from or inundate as Truth. Those elements can range from ego to books. More especially the text because since its compilation in the late 14th century, has become god. As you said, and many others, it is the word of god. Not a word of or even some words of. No, emphatically it is the word of god. Ironically, the text says something altogether different. One point, misinterpreted is the Moshaich is the totality of all Creators word or was himself the word. Which then, immediately dismisses the text being the word of Creator because apparently just one human being is claimed to be that word.
Let me explain, again, what the term word mean in Hebrew. Because it does not imply what most have come to believe and worship above Creator. The term word appears in genesis many times. The precise translation is: ruach. Ask a Hebrew what ruach is and immediately they say: "The Breath of Life. The Force of Creator which makes a man living. It is the word of God. It is the power to create and the substance that is all creation."
A conversation,
"Well, that is odd. Hmm, let us match that to what Yon says:
In the beginning {genesis, @the moment of creation} was ruach. Ruach was with Creator and was/is Creator. All things were made {imagined, fashioned and formed} through ruach and without ruach nothing exists. In Ruach is Life and Life IS the light in man.
Wait, wha-? Hold up. So you are telling me that the ruach -the word of Creator- is that light in man?
"Yes."
So then it is true, the word IS in us both to hear it and do it?
"Yes"
What is ruach then?
"It is Spirit -the very essence of Creator"
So Creator, at the beginning used his power and put that power into humans and humans alone?
"Yes"
Every human has the Spirit or just one -even just Moshaich?
"Every human, else they could be exist -nothing can exist without Creator who is his own spirit, especially Moshiach. Every human was formed, fashioned, designed and made alive by ruach. What's more, they are also enabled with the same power. Designed this way to know, understand, interact, manage the very creation around them. That was their purpose -to be a complete reflection of all of creation combined. They were created by, with, through and in ruach to be the ruach of Creator. They are his glory. As it is said,the earth shall be filled with his glory and his angels testify to it."
So what about the bible, the preachers, churches, religions, sciences and such? If Creator himself is in us, the Word is in us, do we need these thngs?"
As Adam put his ego ahead of the One within, many put objects in front of them. These can be sacred, mental and physical objects too. They are all idols and cause man to worship them or worship themselves --and seek the advice or comfort of these objects; to seek information, assistance or wisdom from them. In short, humans lower themselves, bend their knees to something beneath them, and become enslaved by those objects, even as they became slaves to reason {good-evil}.
Creator designed humans to understand Him and be his reflection --and put in them that information, else humans would be no greater than a tree or crab or blade of grass. So remember, the Kingdom of Heaven is not a place you should look forward to, but is that place inside you, where the ruach is, where the dwelling of the Spirit -who is Creator- lives. Else you deceive yourself and others.
James.
