Yahweh is said to be Omni whatever you can think of. All powerful all knowing and on and on.
What does such a God have a need of me or you falling to our knees in adoration to assuage?
He pretty much tells us himself:
quote:
...I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God...
-Yahweh

I am not sure what you mean. If God is a jealous God, how does that force you and I to our knees?
Well, if you read what I wrote you can see that I was replying to the question of why Yahweh would need us falling to our knees:

.
He can be whatever he likes and that forces nothing onto me.
Why are you talking about being forced into worshiping?
