Mr anony:
My dear frosbel, you are yet to answer my question:

This is interesting: Now here's what I want to ask you: Where do you draw the line between [b]worship and obeisance? What is the difference?
Once you tell me, we will check to see if Jesus was worshiped or paid obeisance to.[/b]


It is still waiting there for you whenever you choose to answer it.

John 4:21-25

New King James Version (NKJV)

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”

Read carefully this english words and see who the isrealites worship, who Christ said we should worship, who is seeking true worshipers, who reconciled us to himself through Christ-Col 1:19-20, 2cor 5:18-21(do you know what this means?), who we all go to through Christ(Jn14:6). It is either you obey Christ, through whom God has called you for reconciliation and while doing so you are obeying the will of the Father cos Christ brought the will of the father to us. Do you disagree? Don't deceive your self by running around these things. you are not doing it for me.

Look! see! they also know about the coming Messiah-Christ.
You have heard from the Master...Worship God

Unfortunately, frosb will ignore such questions that can help him until time 'covers' it, I wonder how his conscience copes.

Have you also wondered if the isralites were taught by the prophets to worship man when you see things like " a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died" what did he actually said while worshiping him?

Definition of worship
noun

1 the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity:the worship of God ancestor worship
2 the acts or rites that make up a formal expression of reverence for a deity; a religious ceremony or ceremonies:the church was opened for public worship
3 adoration or devotion comparable to religious homage, shown toward a person or principle:our society’s worship of teenagers
4 archaic honor given to someone in recognition of their merit.
[as title] (His/Your Worship) chiefly British used in addressing or referring to an important or high-ranking person, especially a magistrate or mayor:we were soon joined by His Worship the Mayor

Compare these things to the worship given to God which must be in spirit and in truth.

No matter to what any Israelite did, he knows that there is a temple in Jerusalem where God Yahweh receives worship.

That israelite will still carry his animal to the temple and offer it to the one true God the father.

They had no idea of a three in one God. QED.

really? What does the word "god" mean?
it means deity. How does that relate to "God is just a title"


Am I not? But wait, is a belief in the trinity a prerequisite for salvation?
No you aren't. A knowledge of Trinity is not necessarily a prerequisite for salvation, however a good understanding of the nature of God is important for one to grasp the significance of his/her salvation

If you cannot understand, it makes it impossible for God, right? Why don't you worry about how the sun seem to hang in the sky amongst many other divine works visible to you? JESUS IS GOD.

It seems you find it difficult to say that the Father anointed Jesus. He even said that the Father SANCTIFIED him and sent him into the world, Jn 10:36.

This bible truth is no where near what you believe-that he is the Father in the flesh.

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

Has it now come to this ? Taking random verses out of context to prove a PAGAN creed.

If I was you I will revisit this doctrine and do some real Berean study, I was like you a few years ago and fought Muslims atheists and others to death on this topic , until I decided to perform a study and wow !!

Philippians 2:5-8
New International Version (NIV)
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

I am not here to argue, I am quite sure you saw the verse where it says Christ humbled himself as a man like you and I. He constantly reverenced with God who remains a part of the Godhead.

But the verse was not addressed to Jesus as the Son of MAN for the sake of argument, it was addressed to Jesus as GOD , so back to my question how can GOD have a GOD ?

Let me give you a clue : no capitalisation in the original Greek or Hebrew.

You left out Rev 1:1a

"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him "

So tell me , did God give God revelation ?

How absurd if this is your position.
