What would a 14th century church do with a person like me?

You're on the right track.
Jesus said that it is only God, his father, whom we should worship and to whom we should render sacred service. (Matthew 4:10)
However, Hebrews 1:6 says "But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all God’s angels worship him.” Does that contradict Jesus' statement?
To know, we must learn that the original greek word used in the scriptures... Proskyneo is a word that could be translated as worship and obeisance (giving honor). Many bible translations render the verse with 'worship' but if we look at other verses...it should rightfully be used as 'give honor' as other verses like Philippians 2:9-11, Daniel 7:13,14,27 shows that Jesus is given honor...by knees bending before him, every tongue acknowledging him as God's son...and so on.
To give honor to Jesus means acknowledging his ransom sacrifice for us...which is a step in knowing his Father, the only True God.

No.
Jesus wants you to love and respect his Father, just
like Jesus does himself.
And "hell' is just man's grave. that will be eliminated along with its 'partner', death. Hell=Hades.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

You're making the fallicy of assuming that They are different beings and They aren't. Jesus said "He that believeth in Me believeth in the Father; he that believeth not in Me believeth not in the Father; I and My Father are One." I don't know, and don't care, what a 14th century church would do with you for your lack of knowledge, but in the 21st century I will simply state the truth in love and trust God to reveal to you that it is, in fact, true. Whether you believe after that is up to you.

Jesus is not only way, you can find God from any thing that lead you to him, The only thing that you need to inter heaven is pure heart.

You can not know the Father without the Son.
Your still in trouble without Jesus.

14th century...Those were very dark times and I hate to think what might happen to you. To answer your question about going to suffer eternally in a fiery hell, the answer is 'no.'

If God told you to love Jesus and that proves you love Him would you?
God loves you!

I think 99% of people on this forum would be burned at the stake.
All the non-believers.
All the pagans.
All the Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists.
All the Protestants too, don't forget them, and not just the JW's or the Mormons, but Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, etc, etc.
Even most of the Catholics. Their ideas would be far too liberal to Medieval Inquisitors.
That leaves only a handful of ultra-conservative Catholics.
Don't you just love Christianity?
