@Jack the longer you avoid those questions them more you lose credibility in this discussion.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

Why dont you try and ask questions of the text:

Does God have a God?
Does God have companions?

F2F
There you go. God called His Son "God"!

Revelation 5:13 KJV
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

The same worship given to the Father is also given to the Son.

Much love!
Blessing, and honour, and glory - not worship, right?

@Jack You (Jesus) have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you (Jesus) above your companions by anointing you (Jesus) with the oil of joy.”

Jesus is God!

:jest: that's a knee slapper Jack!
Let's try again.

Hebrews 1
6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."

Amen Jesus!!! You are God!

Speaks to the Son's oneness with the Father doesn't it? -- Biblically understood, and properly limited -- is clearly implied.
He was exalted above the Angels which of course does not infer he is God only that his position as Son demands their worship.
It was a try..not a nice try though!

Of course, Father and Son are God. Only God is to be worshiped! Jesus is God.

John 14
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

Yes oneness in Character absolutely Jack...it will be amazing when one day the Elect will be as Christ in the earth, imagine that!

John 17:7 Now they know that everything you (God) have given me (Jesus) comes from you (God).

Jack....

John 17:20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. (character and purpose NOT person!)

Do you believe you are me and me you, Jack? Do you believe we will be Jesus? God?


Maybe there is another way to interpret these verses that you haven't considered?

Mad at you? I'm trying to pull you from the Kingdom Hall hallway to everlasting fire.

Matthew 25
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

You took the words right out of my mouth......no worship. Jesus rightfully received obeisance as the son of God, but he did not accept worship from anyone.....he told the devil that all worship was to go to his Father, Jehovah. (Luke 4:5-8)

@Wrangler...why didn't this ravenous lion (devil) just eat Jesus? LOL the fairy tales Christians believe is astounding!

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

I always wondered what happened to aunt Mary :jest:

@Wrangler @Aunty Jane

In relation to the Masters temptations in the wilderness the false accuser was clearly internal, based on the fact that Jesus was tempted in all points like are yet without sin.

Also, Peter understood this point when he penned "Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin."

Not the reference to attitude = mind! The arming of our defense takes place in the mind, the very location this battle between flesh and spirit takes place.

Rather obvious I thought....no need to invent a supernatural evil being!

After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry Matt 4:2

Talk about punishing his flesh and having the spiritual aptitude to endure it!

Adam had everything and still took of the forbidden fruit....might be a lesson in that for those who are glutenous!

The same worship given to the Father is also given to the Son.
As @Wrangler has mentioned, there is no “worship” mentioned there. “Blessing, honor and glory” can rightly be given to anyone whose position warrants it. “Worship” however, is exclusive to Yahweh.
You read into scripture what you want it to say. Try ditching false theology and allow the Bible to explain itself.
