If Jesus was GOD, Why did he worship God?

Question

(Psalm 95:6) O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker

Answer 1

No where in the Bible Jesus (pbuh) claims himself as God. In fact it is the leaders after Jesus (pbuh) who created some stories of trinity. How can one become equal to three. Logically it is not true. Refer the website for more details. www.irf.net

Answer 2

How funny that you bring up Psalm 95:6.

You WILL bow the knee and kneel before the LORD your MAKER.....

10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

You will bow to GOD and His name is Jesus.

Answer 3

Heavenly Father was the God of the Old Testament, not Jesus . Jesus, the son of our Heavenly Father, became the God of the New Testament when he atoned and died for the sins of the world - see the many scriptures in the post above.

As you note, Jesus prayed to God, our Heavenly Father. Also, the Holy Ghost descended in the form of a dove when Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. For these reasons (and more, found in the scripture) I don't believe in the trinity but rather in the Godhead. God, our Heavenly Father, his son & our savior, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost - three distinct personages united in purpose.

Answer 4

Philippians 2: 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 5

Psalms is generally believed to have been written by David, not Jesus. Christ said in his Gnostic Gospels that the true God had no need or desire to be worshiped or obeyed.

Answer 6

The first chapter of John says Jesus was our maker, By Him were all things created. The text you have quoted is referring to Jesus.

edit: for those who gave me thumbs down, please read the following...

John 1 : 1-3, 14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Answer 7

Because God is all things in one and one thing in all. Kind of like the sum being greater than the total of the parts.

Jesus was part of God, but God was greater than Jesus alone. Read some about Lakota Sioux spirituality, they have a great way of explaining the concept of God.

Answer 8

Jesus was human, having given up His throne in heaven. He was worshiping His God just as we all should. By the way, the bible quote you gave was written either by King David or King Solomon.

Answer 9

Hence the teaching of the Holy Trinity...

Answer 10

Even Mathematical geniuses like Einstein have never been able to figure that one out. Somehow many claim to know the answer. Now if we could just figure out what they are saying. But then, I'm not sure they know.
