Jesus said: Do not worship me, worship the one who sent me.
Jesus called people who followed God's law his brothers.
The first sentence is clear. Re the 2nd one, people do not worship their brothers.
You must have a "New age" definition of physical law if you truly claim it can be broken. Jesus said those who followed him would do greater things than he. I am sure you are healing the sick and walking on water. Especially since you are holy enough to tell me that I am wrong.
I am actually a Methodist. But considering the tone of your post, you probably think I am going to hell because of that.

Actually Jesus was speaking in the physical form-do not worship me. The people were worshiping him because of his miracles and felt he was the one to rid them of the Roman control. They were not worshiping him because he was the Son of God, this is why He told them not to worship him.
When He states - worship the one who sent me, He is actually telling them to worship Him, because He is one with the Father, he is the Father. He along with the Holy Spirit were there in the beginning with the Father.

Scott7278, you are terribly confussed about the truth of the Scriptiure the quote you are reffering to is from Revelations 19:10 & 22:9 which is where John has and encounter with an Angel and he is so amazed he falls to worship the Angel and the Angel tells him not to do it,Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." And we know that Jesus is God & God is Jesus they are the same " "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
Do not be lead astray my false teachings read the whole Bible in context!

Im new to this, but just had to add to the discussion:
When Jesus calmed the storm and healed the 10 lepers - He received worship - and did not refuse it. In the book of Hebrews, Ch.1 v.6, the Father commands the angels to worship the Son. In the book of Revelation, when John falls down to worship the angel, the angel rebukes him and tells him to worship God alone - and since Jesus is God in the flesh - He is to be worshipped.
It doesn't matter who or what you are, the Bible is clear on the issue.

Jesus said: Do not worship me, worship the one who sent me. Folks are going to want a reference for that.
