Christians have ALWAYS worshiped Jesus as God

That statement is so wrong that, depending on your motives, becomes a lie.

There have been controversies about this since Christ's death. John's epistles testify to that.

There have always been as many controversies about Jesus' divinity, as there have been unbelievers in Him. The definition of a "Christian" however are those who call Him Lord and God.

The statement stands: CHRISTIANS HAVE ALWAYS WORSHIPED JESUS AS GOD!

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:26-28)

Ar·i·an·ism: n.
The doctrines of Arius, denying that Jesus was of the same substance as God and holding instead that he was only the highest of created beings, viewed as heretical by Christian churches.
