RE: Why Jesus Is Clearly Not The Almighty God To Be Worshipped.

in #spirituality8 years ago (edited)

Jesus did not rebuke them when the worshipped Him which He surely would have done if it had been improper.

By comparison, look how angels react to worship:

Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” - Rev 19:10

And I am John, the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 9But he said to me, “Do not do that. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” -Revelation 22:9

(John was a slow learner.)

Look how Paul reacted in Galatia:

When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: "Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

If angels are this quick to decline worship, you can bet that a mere prophet would be even more quick just like Paul. Jesus never rebuked his disciples for worshiping Him. Q.E.D.

Read the book of Hebrews to get a comprehensive treatment of Who Jesus is.
