Bible Note: Truthfinder, I am glad that you realize that God had wisdom throughout all eternity. But, would God say things like: Matthew 4:10b ... "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'[ Deuteronomy 6:13] and then throw in "His junior partner"? Is He trying to confuse us? The answer is no. We can serve Jesus because He is also God. Notice that without recognizing Christ's full deity, you can not worship Jesus, you can not really honor Jesus fully, you cannot fully respect Him for who He is. I challenge you now to show me one scripture that warns us not to worship Christ, or to honour Him, or show Him too much respect. Deuteronomy 6:13 cannot be used since Heb 1 shows even the angels must worship Him. By your theology it seems that any angels could have stepped in and died for our sins. But what angel would have had power to get back up from the dead as Christ did by His own power? John 10 17"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." 19Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. |
