If he were equally God, it would have been repeated clearly and often just as Jehovah [YHWH], the Father, is.<br /><br />Nevertheless, we find the same praise can be given to different individuals in different senses. For example: <br /><br />Worship (proskuneo, Gr. and shachah, Heb.) in the Scriptures is given to a person who (1) represents someone else in a position of higher authority or (2) occupies a position of higher authority himself (e.g., a king). Sometimes, of course, we may find a person who may receive shachah/proskuneo for both of these reasons. 1 Chron. 29:20 tells us, "And all the assembly blessed Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and worshipped [shachah] Jehovah and the king [David]." - ASV - cf. Septuagint (proskuneo). The highest position of authority, of course, is that occupied by God (the Father, Jehovah, who alone is Most High - Ps. 83:18 - and who alone deserves worship [in the most high sense of that word].) <br /><br />We do give the Most High God's Son honor and proskuneo (whether you translate it "worship," "obeisance," etc.) because his Father has given him a position of authority that deserves it! "thou [Father] gavest [Jesus] authority over all flesh" - John 17:2 - ASV. (Also see Luke 1:32) And "there is no authority except from God" - Ro. 13:1 - RSV. (cf. 1 Cor. 15:24-28 NIV) - From my WORSHIP study. <br />tigger2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09601427279760049377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653325549409648983.post-73828521904684507892016-07-20T06:22:20.758-07:002016-07-20T06:22:20.758-07:00How would you respond to the Trinitarian assertion...How would you respond to the Trinitarian assertion that Revelation 5:12-14 proves that Jesus is the second person of the Triune God as the Father and the Son (the Lamb) both receive the same doxology?
