Mike-These are YOUR words:”And “worship” IS due him as THE SON OF GOD, not AS GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF. ” So if I worship Him as the Son of God why do you say satan is gaining victory through me and not Eusebius?

Mike,”Worship Jehovah your God and serve Him ONLY”Because of that…I worship HIS Son also.Because of that… I serve the Son also.Worshiping the Father is the driving force to worship the Son as the Son of God and not some of the bizillion idols that by nature are no gods at all.We are to obey the Father and that too is a form of worship.John…[Read more]

I agree with this:Quote (If any one say that the Father is greater, inasmuch as He is the cause of the Son, we will not contradict this. But this doth not by any means make the Son to be of a different Essence.) http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf114.iv.lxxvii.html
