Then why dont we follow him and worship "The Father" "The Lord" that he used to worship.... Did Jesus Christ Go in the temple to tell people to worship him..... Never..... Then why worship him..... When he told " I am the way" he meant follow me..... Not worship me.

They worship Jesus Christ (the Lamb) in heaven:

"Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever."

And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen " And the elders fell down and worshiped. "

Revelation 5:11-14

This time, Ryan has spoken amiss, because he has overlooked the plain teaching in Scripture of the "kenosis" - the emptying of the eternal Word's divine prerogatives to take upon Himself the nature of Man, so as to redeem Man, as a man:

"Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,

but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. "

Jesus has been around from before the beginning of time. So your Jesus probably isn't wort worshiping. The one I know deserves more worship. In fact, God even told angels to worship Him!

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your Father"? Or again,
"I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son"? 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him." 7 In speaking of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire." 8 But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy." 10 He also says,
"In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end." 13 To which of the angels did God ever say,
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet"? 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?


So how come God told angels to worship Jesus? Why can't Muslims see this?

Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

The vast majority of people claiming to be Christian are not bothered by such truth when it is so much easier to believe the lie. They will not have to DO anything as they are too lazy. They never admit they might be wrong as that might mean work.

The truth that Jesus always only worshiped his Father and refused all who tried to worship himself matters only to those trying to honestly worship the true God.

It must be remembered that Jesus, son of Mary, was a "prophet" sent to the jews.He has also said that only when he goes away, another "comforter" or "Advocate" would come!Thus, his position as a "prophet" cannot be disputed.
A prophet is raised from thepeople by God to lead them to the straight path only. He is obliged to say what God has asked him to say!
How, then, could God ask him to tell people to worship him and NOT HIM?
That reveals that all the words in the Bible ar not of God but the writers also have found place in it!The writer's belief cannot be deemed equal to 'the belief envesaged by God!

Jesus never said he was God. who was Jesus praying to? not him self. when Jesus was baptized, Jehovah came down like a dove and said this my Son the beloved. Jesus always said that he cannot do anything without the Father in heaven. even the 12 disciples knew he was not God Almighty.read ps 83 verse 18. that is the name of God. when Jesus was on the stake, he said Father it is done. who resurrected him. you cannot resurrect yourself. to answer your question, Jesus worships his Father Jehovah

At Hebrews 1:6, the angles are instructed to 'worship' Jesus, according to then Bibles of RS, TEV, KJ, JB, and NAB. The new world translation says 'Do obeisance to' From the book' Reasoning from the Scriptures'. We do not worship Jesus. We must worship Jehovah God only. Jesus, however, is worthy of being obeyed. We must follow his teachings, believe in him and love him. We do all things through him. By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created.

The closest thing Christians have to a genuine mantra is the `Hail Mary´, and that´s only used by Roman Catholics. The `Lord´s prayer´ is sort of a mantra, but it´s a bit long. You could make up your own mantra.

A good question. That's why the Trinity is explained that although Jesus was human he was consubstantiation with the Father and the Holy Spirit. John explains this, in him through him with him.

Jesus was worshiped while he was on earth and he never rebuked anyone for it. In fact when the Pharisees told him to tell his people to shut up, he responded by saying, "If they remain silent the rocks will cry out".

I won't be replaced by any rock.

And when he said "I am the way", he meant that only he was bridging the gap between man and the Father. Only he stood in our place to take our punishment onto himself, and it only worked because he is the Son of God and he is blameless.
