There is another group! Matthew 7:22-23 New Living Translation
On judgment day many will say to me (to Jesus), 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (i.e., like building huge edifices, administering huge converts, becoming powerful and influential, etc.)
But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.'
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me….
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: ….(Worship service is only once a week)
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you….
Matthew 4:10 New American Standard Bible
'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'
The argument is over! The self-proclaimed spiritual Judge has admitted that the worship of Jesus as lord/man is not written in the Bible! It is nowhere in the Bible that God Himself through His own words commanded men to worship Jesus whether as man or god or lord! It is also nowhere in the Bible that Jesus himself through his own words commanded men to worship him (Jesus!)! The worship of Jesus according to the self-proclaimed spiritual Judge is allegedly based on what his disciples did and said as contained allegedly in the Bible!
Since when can a very important religious practice (like worship of the man Jesus) be based only on what Jesus’ disciples did and said as contained allegedly in the Bible but not commanded by Jesus himself through his own words? And also not commanded by God Himself through His own words? Worship of lord/god/man other than God Himself is in violation of the above God's laws.
It is really the pride of man that causes his blindness! But in truth and in fact, according to the majority, worship of Jesus is based on the belief that Jesus himself is God! But that is beyond the scope of this post, which is, the worship of Jesus as a man is idolatry!
