Is not it wonderful that Jesus …………………?
Is not it wonderful that Jesus was born in a manger, along with the account of the sages who visited him after (Luke 2, Matt 2)?
1) we see that Jesus accepted worship - can only accept the worship of Jehovah, so the modern Jehovah's Witness is refuted. LOS ANGELES CAN NOT ACCEPT worship of mortal men, unless FALLEN ANGELS
2) the worship of the wise and not only Jesus' mother Mary, so that the Roman Catholic Church were wrong too!
3) who did not worship cows, so that Hindus are also refuted!
I wonder how many of you agree that in just two chapters, so many are refuted?
Yes, it's wonderful that Jesus received, and receives, however, will receive honor.
However, the main problem here seems to be one of semantics over the term "cult."
Jehovah's Witnesses and understand fully agree that Jesus Christ, the Son gets what he deserves and can be described as "worship", but only when the English-language word "cult" has been defined properly. Obedience and honor of the Christ should remain clearly subject to the devotion of the "exclusive" to be the Father, Jehovah God. The Scriptures clearly show that the cult is far from alone in the person of Jehovah God the Father Almighty. His Son, Jesus taught that the Lord personally deserves a unique form of "sacred service".
(Matthew 4:10) Jesus said … "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and him alone you must render sacred service."
(Luke 4:8) Jesus said … "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and him alone you must render sacred service."
(Exodus 20:5) I am the Lord your God am a God exacting exclusive
Father Lord Jesus specifically addresses the Son receives homage and honor. Note that Jesus is God's right hand and has BE * * better than the angels.
(Hebrews 1:6) [God] says, "And all God's angels do obeisance to him [Jesus]."
(Hebrews 1:3-4) [Jesus] sat at the right hand of the Majesty on high places. So he has become better than the angels
Where does the authority of Christ?
(Matthew 28:18) And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given me in heaven and on earth.
(Acts 2:36) God made him Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
(John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
(Acts 5:31) God exalted him as chief of staff and Savior on his right hand
(Psalm 2:2-6) The kings of the earth take their position and senior officials have been meeting together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed … LORD … hold them in derision, saying, "I, I have set my king [Jesus]

I admire his orthodoxy, however, does not want to make sure that does not really hurt anyone? That just goes off by Christianity and become more difficult to evangelize ..
There is a way of presenting information that is much less divisive in this way. Just a thought …
You are right. So many religions in this world and that includes Christians can be refuted, because the gods despise justice. In fact, do not even know where gods and justice can be found. Many are like Nicodemus in John 3, which had absolutely no idea how to be truly born again. They say many things and many misquoting Scriptures themselves do not understand. Once we get to talk to the emails, which expose their hearts and the worst comes to light.
This is why Jesus said: Not everyone who calls, 'Lord, Lord' will be saved, but only those who do his will.
The "wise men" did not come to worship God, but to honor or to honor the new King of the Jews.
The reverence that would have been the same act as they did to any other king.
2nd, they did not arrive in Bethlehem until Jesus lived in a house, and were not born.

Jesus never existed. I guess that refutes his Qustion
Matthew 2:11 is the Greek word προσκυνεω proskuneo (pros-koo-neh'-o) which means that
1) to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in reverence
2) among the Orientals, esp. the Persians, to fall on your knees and touch the ground with the forehead as an expression of deep reverence
3) in the NT by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether to express respect or to make supplication
3a) used sample of tribute to the men and beings of superior
3a1) to the Jewish high priests
3a2) to God
3a3) to Christ
3A4 beings) to heavenly
3a5) to demons
Are you sure that the Magi are worshiping Christ [3a3]? Or is there an alternative meaning [1 or 2]?
That is all, of course, assuming that the Bible is right - is a matter of perception, be aware that all religions have a different book Ghost.
Please do not be so closed minded to assume that's what you've been taught, that's what is true. First, the study of other things, be a little open minded. If you still believe this after all that, then okay. Or, if you choose to continue believing this without really knowing the other theories (and that does not mean you get to decide what is the religion of operations outside of the little things you have heard from people in their own Christian religion, I suppose ), do not go telling other people they're wrong - you have no basis to leave some.
what ever makes your boat float! but what is your point? I got my 2!
Okay, wait … really does prove anything to you? Umm think about it for a minute.
1) people, ordinary people accept religion all the time. Have you heard about David Koresh? Yes, claimed to be Jesus. So did Charles Manson. So did Jim Jones. So do a lot of people, and people worship them. The fact that man names Jesus accepted worship, when he was just born I might add, proves nothing.
2) and 3) so that bases its faith in what three men did? Why have so much faith in them? These men were not very smart anyway, really. They bring a BABY frankincese gold and myrrh. When was the last time you brought a baby shower? If they were really wise to have brought a cot. And even when they were geniuses, they were only three fallible human beings.
Of course, if you believe that story … I mean one has plenty of plot holes too, my friend.
Have you noticed that Indians do not follow the Bible? Funny, huh?
There is no evidence that Jesus ever existed. In fact, everything suggests that Jesus is a fictional character based on God, older men, it rejects what is in the Christian Bible.

He made a historical Jesus exist? Http: / / http://www.nobeliefs.com / exist.htm
[Excerpt]
ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE ACCOUNTS hearsay
Nobody has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus, without artifice, housing, woodwork, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of others. Produces no Roman record that shows the time of Pontius Pilate, the execution of a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there is no single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus has written long after the alleged life of Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or works fraudulent, mythical or allegorical. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and the dates to show that even if these sources do not come from interpolations, they could still serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because from all sources derive from hearsay accounts.
Hearsay information derived from others rather than on a witness's knowledge.
The courts usually do not, as hearsay, nor does honest modern scholarship. Rumors provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore is dead.

Remember that Jesus is the Son of God through the Virgin Mary and Jesus is worthy of worship.
I just have a comment, Catholics do not worship the Virgin Mary … non-Christian worship, but it is different from others and God raised up his body to heaven … if you read the Bible you will see that God has praised her, she is a saint.
