At church do you worship with arms in the air or at your side? [Spirituality & Religion]

all kidding aside, it doesnt matter as long as it's about worshipping and not about self attention.

I don't go to church. I worship god in my mind and heart every day :) when i'm alone in my room :) and I imagine my arms up in the air, like my profile photo :)

I guess. If it's from the heart than yes. ??? But if it's just for show ....

" In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. " - John Bunyan.

" And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they might be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. - Matthew 6:5

Also. It's a day of rest and in God's house. Doesn't seem .... respectful to makes too much noise. Sabbath.

I worship in spirit and in truth.....plus I raise my hands.

that is my point martin. testing god is not respectful if you believe in him.

If I do I usually listen and shake my head a lot

Duchess - Matthew 4: 5 Then the Devil took him along into the holy city,+ and he stationed him on the battlement of the temple 6 and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you,’ and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written: ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’”

As you see here, they're doing something very wrong, they're testing their own God :(

Neither, because I'm an atheist.

Well i dont really think much of it you see. If someone wants to do it then fine :) but i've never seen anyone do it at my kingdom halls ^^ i guess we dont put our arms up in the air or something like that, because we dont want to pull attention away from whats important :)

I tend to agree with Duchess. I agree with Martin but am not sure I understand the point you are making in regards to the question.

Well we usually just stand calmly and try to listen for a minute or two under the prayer. Then we sit on the chairs calmly (no arms in the air here...) and listen some more 😄

if you keep your arms at your side it's called riverworshipping.

What kind of post is this ?

I hate when people do that. 🙌

Yeah its a bit of a weird question but i guess he is referring to the more musical churches where everyone stand and sway side to side :)
