You could also cite the many Scriptures that speak of those who fell down & worshipped Jesus. And this was not people doing obeisance to a 'mighty Prophet of God', but in recognition that this Holy One came from God & to be worshipped as they would God.

A few Scriptures: Matthew 2:10,11 (the magi from the East before the Babe). Matthew 8:2 (by a Leper). Matthew 9:18. Matthew 14:33. John 9:36-38. Acts 10:25,26 (an account where Peter refused the worship of Cornelius).

I always pray to the Father, but I find no reason why I can't pray to the Lord Jesus & glorify & worship Him also.

A Friend of mine, told me he doesn't worship Jesus, he only worship the Father, the most high God, I said, they are one ,they can't be separated, it's like Water, Ice, steam, water you can't comprehend it(Father) , ice, it's solid, ( Jesus) you can touch it, and steam, ( Holy Spirit) 3 different functions, but all in divine unity as One purpose!

I believe God only sees two types of people on the earth. Those that know Him and those that don't know him. We that know Him truly have His Holy Spirit living within us. Because of His grace and Jesus sacrifice on the cross, we have God himself living within our spirits in this fleshly body. This transcends all the wall we have built and the labels and contentions over essentially trivial details of our different belief systems. If you know Jesus, you and I are one. We will never agree on everything. We both will never be totally correct in how we believe and worship, but when this flesh and our carnal minds are finally stripped away, what is left is pure. Just as God in the old testament called all men Adam, when he looks at us he sees Jesus.

Jesus is not saying he is God but that he and God are one in UNITY.. as in a Family... like I am in my mother and my mother in me... but we are 2 separate beings

Rev. Autrey's comment on 2014-05-26 16:25:51:

Verse 21 "My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father... " The basic tenant of the Christian religion is monotheism, the belief in one God. So how do you interpert Jesus ' revelation of the existence of another personality of God, the Father. It 's simple. They are the same God. As Jesus said, "You are in me, and I am in You, " meaning that God is one substance, with more than one personality. So God talks to us like this Hi, I d like to say good day to you, again. I am Jesus. The Father sends his greetings, too. And when we ask Jesus to show us the Father, he says, When you see me, you see the Father who sent me, meaning the Father and Jesus are the same God. Then Jesus says, By the way, The Holy Spirit says hi, too , meaning that the Holy Spirit is the same God that the Father and Jesus are. This is the point If we try to say that Jesus is separate from the Father, or that God is two or three separate entities, we are no longer practicing monotheism, but polytheism, or the belief in many Gods. This belief system is condemned all through the Bible, and no sincere Christian will do it. God is one, and always has been. But when he speaks to us, he says he is Jesus. May God bless you!

V. 21. This may be the only recorded Lord's prayer for his church. He travails to God for us (believers) to be unified as one body as He and the Father are one, so that the world may believe that the Father sent Jesus. He was about to pay the ultimate price to restore us to God, and it seems that the oneness of believers was the key to the world believing. Have our religious divisions hindered the world from receiving God's grace provision? Let's practice our unity in Jesus and allow Him to disolve those differences. Religion is most often enemy to the cross of Christ; It crucified the Savior.

Ben Weaver's comment on 2010-12-10 16:19:14:

The PEOPLES BIBLE above says it so well. Too often, our cultured biases seem more important to us than our unity in Christ. If only we would differentiate between life in Jesus and religion, and live it out, our world would be more attracted to Jesus. Love ya!
