Worship the Creator, Not the Creation

Romans 1:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Colossians 2:
18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Acts 10:
25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Revelation 9:
20And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Romans 1:
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Hebrews 1:
6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten INTO THE WORLD, he saith, And let all the angels of God WORSHIP HIM.

Matthew 2:
11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and WORSHIPPED HIM…

Matthew 8:
2And, behold, there came a leper and WORSHIPPED HIM, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Matthew 9:
18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and WORSHIPPED HIM, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Matthew 14:
33Then they that were in the ship came and WORSHIPPED HIM, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Matthew 15:
9But in vain they do WORSHIP ME, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Matthew 15:
25Then came she and WORSHIPPED HIM saying, Lord, help me.

Matthew 28:
9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and WORSHIPPED HIM.
Comment: Jesus never rebuked anyone for worshipping Him. This is only from the book of Matthew. The same is true of the other gospels.

John 20:
27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD AND MY GOD.

John 5:
23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Philippians 2:
10That at the name of JESUS EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Colossians 2:
9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Revelation 5:
8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders FELL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Revelation 17:
14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Revelation 19:
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Revelation 15:
3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Comment: God is a jealous God and He will not have us to worship His creation, including angels, or men, or any other creature seen or invisible. Clearly we bow down to worship Jesus because He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit (Trinity) are our ONE Creator God.
