Hi Irene,Do you remember the great commission that Christ gave to the disciples…to go into the world teaching them and baptizing them? Well, would you agree that they obeyed that commission? It was very important for the teaching of Christ to continue on and I have found it very interesting as to their perspective on things like the Son being…[Read more]

I'm tired now and will check it out tomorrow probably.

Mike,Sorry about the link…I fixed the link to Eusebius statement as to worship the Son as God. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf201.iii.vi.iii.htmlThere…happy now, probably not considering what Eusebius says that you don't want to accept.

Well Mike (Pierre and Keith and JA might want to read this too),This is something I just came across from St. Chrysostom (i luv him whoever he is…we would 'get' each other's understanding). This sums up so much of what I have been trying to say but he says it better. See if this helps:Quote “And every tongue,” should “confess that Jesus Chris…[Read more]

Pierre,I understand that all praise and worship that we give the Son as the Son of God, gives glory to the Father.

Quote (JustAskin @ Sep. 12 2010,01:29)LU,As you stress your definition of “Worship” by Angels of Jesus – does it also occur to you that the Term “Worship” can also be translated as “Obeisance”.Check also that “Kings” are given obeisance by their subjects. And what is Jesus in Heaven – A King – and who are his Subjects.Also, Worship – ONLY GOD…[Read more]
