It's respect, for two reasons, accordingly:
1. he is an elderly man. 2. a man of God.
Men and Women, don't be deceived, whatever is sown shall surely be reaped.

Oga no gain spelling out the hypocrisy of this people. A pastor once knelt down praying for a standing governor.

Not to argue cos religion is flexible and they twist it to whatever suits them

Jesus Christ taught His followers to bow to now man. undecided

In fact He commanded them against clinging to the traditions and rules of men as they serve to invalidate the power of God over the lives of those who practice them.

Kneeling to greet is a traditional idea created by men, just the same as the traditions/rules of men which Jesus Christ preached against.

You have to learn to listen and obey what Jesus Christ says over what men command of you, even in their traditions.

You are right about the traditional ideals held by those of the Yoruba culture but these people are supposedly followers of Jesus Christ, are they not? undecided
And according to Jesus Christ, those who follow Him ought to reject all doctrines and traditions of men as they are nothing but lies meant to deceive and nullify the power of God in the lives of His followers. undecided


Mark 7:7-13(King James Version)


7. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11. But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
By following after the commandments of men(traditions they are called), you deny the rules of God, and so refuse Jesus Christ. undecided

So can one live in disobedience of Jesus Christ and still be of Jesus Christ, I guess that should be the main question here if anything. undecided

Are you seriously trying to compare bowing in worship of God to bowing in worship of man-made rules/rules of men(Traditions\cultures of men)? cool

Well, it does not matter what you think... What matters is what God has decreed. And since God, through His Son Jesus Christ decreed that it is a sin to follow the traditions of men, it is wrong. undecided

The commandment to avoid the doctrines and traditions(commandments of men) states that the very Power of God is rendered void in the lives of those who chose to follow the traditions of men and that their worship of God is made meaningless as a result. undecided

So, if even after 40-something years of supposedly walking with Jesus Christ, these folks do not even know this, what you should ask yourself is if these people whom you have placed above you even know Him, Jesus Christ, to begin with. undecided

was there ever a place Jesus preach against d place of honour?

Honor in what sense and of whom? undecided

Jesus Christ taught His followers to honor no man above others. This can be seen in the way He dealt with the Priests, Teachers of the law and everyone He met... Even they commented on this aspect of His person. He taught His followers that all men were indeed created equal and they remain so in the eyes of God. So as far as the teachings of Jesus Christ, there is no place for the sort of honor that is the tradition of men.

i see you care more for your traditions(commandments of men) than you do the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ which those who chose to believe in Him are required to obey regardless of parentage. undecided
