Bible dogs. What does it really mean to worship God. Well, dogs provide us important insight. Moreover, many scholars affirm that the Greek word for worship is actually based, in part, on the word ‘dog’. This video discusses the symbolic meaning of dogs in the Bible. Although dogs are often used in a negative sense in the Bible, there is a beautiful spiritual meaning of dogs in the Bible, which includes true worship. In fact, dogs teach us much about how it is to worship God in spirit and truth. Dogs provide an important symbol of faithfulness and concern for their masters. We find that Christians are commanded to worship in spirit and in truth. The ‘spirit’ is our connection to God and is opposed to the ‘flesh’. Therefore, we should be cautious about getting too excited over worship that emphasizes the involvement of the flesh (e.g., music).
This study investigates the Biblical mean of ‘worship’. Examples of dogs as referring to people who become Christians is included in the video. Just as Bible dogs wait for the crumbs that fall from the master’s table, so too do Christians in faith wait upon Jesus Christ. This is seen in the story about the Canaanite woman found in John 4 . Just observing dogs can give us great insight on how we are to worship. Worship does not mean excitement and wild music. As Bible dogs, music is important to the Christian, but nowhere in the Bible is it directly related to worship. Rather, worship is better defined as waiting upon God in serious, continual prayer and study of God’s Word. Christians, as Bible dogs revere the master and obey the master (Jesus Christ). It is no wonder why dogs provide such a tremendous witness as to how a Christian bible dogs are to worship.

“Take Me to Church” is the debut single by Irish recording artist Hozier . It has become an international hit, reaching #1 in 12 countries, and has been certified five times platinum in the US. “Take Me to Church” was nominated for a Grammy Award for “Song of the Year” in 2015 .
Despite its widespread and international success, Hozier was a struggling musician when he recorded the song. And in fact, it wasn’t until the music video — a critique of Russia’s anti-LGBT+ policy , which some audiences have found controversial — went viral that the song attracted attention.
“‘Take Me to Church’ is essentially about sex,” Hozier said in an interview with New York Magazine in March 2014 , adding that “it’s not an attack on faith.”
It’s about sex and it’s about humanity, and obviously sex and humanity are incredibly tied. Sexuality, and sexual orientation — regardless of orientation — is just natural… The song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love.
The song has also garnered attention from musicians around the world — it was, for example, covered on The Voice , and director David LaChapelle released an interpretive dance video of “Take Me To Church”, featuring British Royal Ballet veteran Sergei Polunin performing choreography by Jade Hale-Christofi .
The cover art for the Take Me to Church EP as well as the artwork for both Hozier’s albums and all his EPs are made by Hozier’s mother Raine Hozier-Byrne . She is described as an artist whose work is
An examination of the contemporary sublime, subjective perception, memory, and loss

The Greek word commonly rendered “worship” in English translations of Bible is the verb proskyneō . It is sometimes claimed that proskyneō means to kiss, like a dog licks the hand of his master. This misconception stems from the dictionary entry for proskyneō in Strong’s Concordance :
4352. προσκυνέω proskynéō , pros-koo-neh'-o ; from 4314 ( pros ) and a probable derivative of 2965 ( kyōn ) (meaning to kiss , like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to , i.e. (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage ( do reverence to, adore ):—worship.
The entry states that proskyneō is made up of two parts:
However, this entry is mistaken. The second part of proskyneō is not derived from the noun kyōn “dog”, but is actually the verb kyneō , which means “to kiss”. Thus, the idea of a “dog” is not at all a part of the meaning of proskyneō . In 2001, Zondervan published an updated and revised edition of Strong’s Concordance , in which this mistake was removed:
4352. προσκυνέω, proskyneō , v. GK: 4686 [→ 4353 ( proskynētēs ); cf. 4314 ( pros )]. to worship, pay homage, show reverence; to kneel down (before):— worship [35], worshipped [24], worshipping [1]
The following is the entry for proskyneō in a scholarly lexicon:
προσκυνέω (κυνέω ‘to kiss’) ... (... Frequently used to designate the custom of prostrating oneself before persons and kissing their feet or the hem of their garment, the ground etc.; the Persians did this in the presence of their deified king, and the Greeks before a divinity or something holy.) to express in attitude or gesture one’s complete dependence on or submission to a high authority figure, (fall down and) worship, do obeisance to, prostrate oneself before, do reverence to, welcome respectfully, (BDAG)
As one may observe, proskyneō comes from the verb kyneō , which this scholarly lexicon gives the definition: “to kiss”. There is no mention at all to any relation to the noun kyōn “dog”.
The Greek verb proskyneō simply meant to bow down; to prostrate oneself before someone as an expression of submission. There is no evidence at all that the meaning or origin of proskyneō was in any way related to the noun kyōn “dog”, much less that it means to kiss like a dog licking the hand of its master.

In Hozier's famous song "Take Me to Church," there is a phrase called "worship like a dog," which comes across as a metaphor to me. However, I can't understand the meaning of this sort-of-metaphor because dogs can't worship. So, how does Hozier express his disapproval towards the Church through this phrase? Please tell me the meaning of the phrase. Thank you!
Hi In metaphor, dogs tend to have a reputation for being very loyal, faithful and obedient toward their owner So far as we know, they don't do this because they have made a reasoned judgement about whether their owner is a good person or not - they just seem to do it because they are pack animals and group themselves around a leader. You could say, then, that they 'worship' - as a matter of faith - rather than in a rational way I don't know the song well (I listened to it just now). But I'd guess that's what the singer has in mind Dave
Never mind...I found the annotation on the internet!
