Yea, I had some mean Priests and Brothers in my school too. They would throw you into the lockers or punch you in the chest once in a while. But it was all about getting you to toe the line. Not unlike military boot camp. I have no regrets. It is another story with these heathens.
Jesus said do not worship him.
Nuf said.
Yup!
We are to worship Jesus,,,

Indeed,
I pray that when my knees finally give out, that I can still bow down before him and Worship at his feet,
All cult groups have that in common, they always attempt to deny that Jesus Christ is Lord or to diminish that the Word came in the flesh. Jesus is the very one who created all things and holds them together,
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” Matthew 24:5
"Before Abraham came to be, I AM."
Christ often, in His earthly life, refused honors which were actually His by right.
For instance, He consistently rebuffed those who wanted to make Him king, even though He actually WAS their true and lawful king and heir to David's royal throne.
He likewise concealed His messiahship, often telling his closest disciples to "tell no one.""
The same pertains, I think, to His equality with God. St. Paul says, Jesus did not consider equality with God something to be "grasped," but emptied Himself out, taking the form of a slave.
But that does not mean that this refusal of honors, and this almost inconceivable abasement, would last forever. The book of Revelation is full of divine honor being given to the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and Him being seated on the throne with the Father, being worshiped and adored.
"Seated at the right hand of the Father" means that as God He and the Father are co-equal; as Man, He is the highest being in the created Universe. He is one divine Person who, by His nature, shares, with the Farther and the Holy Spirit, the Godhead of the Blessed Trinity.
In His life on earth, Jesus rebuffed kingly, messianic and divine honors. Now, we rightly adore Him.
