…I bow my knees before the Father…

So writes Paul in Ephesians 3.14. Are we Protestants known for doing this?

Kind of odd: If a zealous Protestant talks about other traditions (Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglo-Catholic) and their practice of kneeling toward images or objects, he will (accurately) see the danger in it. The Bible clearly condemns such practices.

But ask that same critic why we never kneel in prayer in Church (or any other time in most cases) and suddenly posture doesn’t matter at all and you are guilty of “externalism” for caring about what the Bible teaches on such matters.

If the issue is what is in the Bible, then the situation makes no sense at all.
