Lol, your passive agressive jabs weren't necessary brother grin.

Just because Angels were asked to worship Jesus doesn't mean WE are expected to do so too. If I remember correctly, Angels and humans serve different purposes to God. We are made in HIS image and are basically sons of God, little wonder why a certain Angel got jealous and was determined to cause man's downfall. If I may refer to the Quran, it is even mentioned that Angels were instructed to bow down to Adam too.

Also, I note how you failed to address my last paragraph concerning Peter and Thomas. Your insight here would be appreciated if you're still up for it, but please let's be civil wink

Seems you are a Muslim. But u r using the scripture to deny the deity of Jesus.

First of all, you are wrong in your initial assertion inferring that angels are inferior to man. In God's hierarchy angels are superior beings to man. Let me prove it from scripture.

Hen 2:7You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor.

So you see Christ becoming man made him a little lower than the angels or angelic beings.

So u say u r not meant to worship Jesus..another lie....To not worship Jesus is not not believe in the one who sent him. Let me prove it again with scripture.

New International Version
John 5:23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

My brother you are to honor the Son just as u honor the Father. That is what Yahweh commands you to do.

So my question for u which is rhetorical is how exactly do you honor Jehovah?

1. Is it in prayer, praises, worship and what have u ?

Jehovah wants u to honor Jesus in the same way. For if u don't honor Jesus in the same way u would honor Jehovah, then u don't honor Jehovah.


My brother them lie give u oh...go and read your Bible. Jesus is God because Jehovah is not in the business of idolatry

Now that you believe you are the wise prophet who can prophesize that I am a Muslim when I tell you I am not and have no reason to lie to a nobody about a religion that I have no connections with, this discussion is over. Continue with your false prophesizing.
Did you have anything to discuss before, you just want to run because i have turned the floodlight on you

So, if you are unable to approach questions asked of Him, then it is OK to remove yourself from this. undecided

I've answered your questions, in short, there is only one Yah and you Jesus was a prophet.

Have you seen Christian that want to talk about Jesus and start saying he is a prophet and messenger

This is not a matter of debate in Christianity

Unless the Muslims that their can't hide their leopard spot

Worship means to serve, to obey!. When you submit to and obey the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, you worship Him as the one who is Master over you, the one who is God's eternal Law in the Kingdom of God. undecided

Your definition of worship is interesting grin but you're entitled to it.

Listening to the messenger's teaching and obeying their commandments (not originally theirs even) makes you a 'FOLLOWER' of that messenger. You're not supposed to worship them (the messenger), you're meant to worship the ONE who gave them the message.

My definition of worship, you say. So, what other definition of worship is there, given by God? undecided
Once we establish this, then we can maybe move forward in this. undecided

Out of curiousity, when God created Adam and commanded Adam to obey Him, was God simply a messenger to Adam , and Adam simply called to be a follower of God then? undecided

Also, when Jesus Christ proclaimed that He was the Truth of God - the very Words out of God's own mouth, are we to assume here that Jesus Christ lied ? undecided

There you go with your man made religion "Christianity" that didn't even exist during the time the scriptures were written. The scriptures were written for mankind not you followers of the Christ so get your head out of the sand and learn something.

Don't mind Reno and Daddy Freeze put their teaching under the light and truth of the gospel and it falls flat.

Ask him now Y YHWH ask everyone and angels to worship Jesus if Jesus is not God, he would not have an answer but yet he still keeps spreading a perversed gospel from the pit of hell

Ah ahn, was God teaching anything? undecided If someone 'teaches' and you follow that teaching then you're a follower.. that's what I said na tongue

So, when God gave Adam the command in Genesis 2 vs 15- 17, God wasn't teaching Adam to follow that command at all? God was talking for the sake of talking? undecided

You think sin can happen without temptation? What do you really think temptation is? And does temptation even provide justification for any sin? undecided

I am curious to know!. undecided

Ehm, how was Peter tempted that he denied Jesus three times? How was Thomas tempted that he didn't believe Jesus had resurrected.

In case you don't know the backstory to those comments, I questioned why those two men were so hesitant given that Jesus was supposed to be God. If Jesus was God then surely Thomas wouldn't have doubted Jesus's resurrection given that he had resurrected Lazarus and done countless other miracles before

Let me put it this way, everytime you have have choice to obey, you always have the choice to disobey. Those choices together are what amounts to what is called "Temptation" , the one to doing good, and the other to doing bad. undecided

Peter had the chance, each of those 3 times, to do the right thing but he instead chose 3 times to deny Jesus Christ, hence the regret that came upon him when he realized his error. undecided

Andrew had the choice to believe that the one who stood before him was Jesus Christ but instead his doubt overwhelmed Him - this is not to declare doubt a sin by the way. undecided

As for the portion I marked in bold, recall why I dragged the story of Adam into this? undecided

Second question
Wikipedia has a great definition here: Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity. For many, worship is not about an emotion, it is more about a recognition of a God.. you should check out the section on Christianity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worship
