WHY THEY WORSHIPPED CHRIST JESUS IF HE IS NOT GOD ?

THE ANGELS COMMANDED BY GOD TO WORSHIP HIM :

Hebrews 1:6-9  King James Version (KJV)

⁶ And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

GOD THE FATHER CALL HIM GOD :

Hebrews 1:8 New International Version (NIV)

⁸ But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

CHRIST JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE ALMIGHTY.

Revelation 22:12-13 Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹² “Behold, I (Jesus) am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, ^[a]to give to each one ^[b]according to the merit of his deeds (earthly works, faithfulness). ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One].”

THE GOD WHO CALLED ISRAEL THAT WAS SENT BY GOD (THE FATHER):

Isaiah 48:12-13 King James Version (KJV)

¹² Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

¹³ Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

THE COMING AND APPEARING GOD FROM HEAVEN:

Titus 2:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

¹³ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

CHRIST JESUS NAMED WORD OF GOD WAS GOD:

Revelation 19:13

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God

John 1:1 King James Version (KJV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

AS ONE GOD (ELOHIM) :

1 John 5:7 King James Version (KJV)

⁷ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

AS ELOHIM:

Genesis 1:26 

²⁶ Then God (Elohim) said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”

AS I AM :

Exodus 3:14 
God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I Am has sent me to you.’”

John 8:58

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

EVEN WHEN CHRIST TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN THROUGH HIS BODY NAMED JESUS, THAT CHILD NAMED JESUS  IS A MIGHTY GOD:

Isaiah 9:6  King James Version (KJV)

⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us, a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

JESUS IS EMMANUEL ( GOD IS WITH US ):

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

CHRIST IS THE LORD GOD ( Yahweh or Jehova ) THAT MOSES MET AT MOUNT SINAI GIVING HIM THE TEN (10) COMMANDMENTS:

Exodus 34:32 King James Version (KJV)

OLD TESTAMENT

And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

NEW TESTAMENT

Hebrews 11:24-26 King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

IT IS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WHO LEADS THE PROPHETS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WHO PREDICTED THE SUFFERINGS OF THE MESSIAH HIMSELF:

1 Peter 1:10-11 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, ¹¹ trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.

SINCE THE OLD TESTAMENT TIME, GOD ALREADY REVEALED TO KING SOLOMON THAT HE INDEED HAS A SON:

Proverbs 30:4  Amplified Bible

Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son’s name?

CHRIST AS SEEN GOD: For no man had ever seen the Father only the Son 

John 1:18 King James Version (KJV)

18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

BUT THERE IS SEEN GOD AND APPEARED :

Exodus 6:3 King James Version (KJV)

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.

CHRIST IS THE GOD WHOM MOSES MET AT MOUNT SINAI IS THE SEEN GOD :

Hebrews 11:24-26 King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Exodus 33:21-23 King James Version (KJV)

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

VERSES THAT GIVES A CONFUSION :

Before we go to different verses that create confusion, we must know first that the name Father is in two meaning :

One is in nature as Father God and the other is as a Title Name

LET AS CLARIFY AND DIFFERENTIATE THIS TWO WITH SUPPORTING VERSES :

1^st :  FATHER GOD ( The unseen God ) – The Father of Christ Jesus  

Matthew 3:17  King James Version

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

John 17: 4-5  King James Version

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.⁵ And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Countless if we will quote all verses that prove that Jesus Christ confessed and prove that He has a Father in Heaven.

2^nd: EVERLASTING FATHER ( A Title Name or Given Name to The Son ) 

Isaiah 9: 6  King James Version

⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

LET US GO TO THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT IN HEBREW REGARDING THE MEANING OF "EVERLASTING FATHER" :

As you can see, "a-bi-ad" or aviad means Occurrence

Now let us know what is the exact meaning of occurrence?

Means - The fact of something existing or being found in a place under a particular set of conditions, and, one growing out of earlier happenings or conditions.

This means, in relation to existence or creation, which each earlier happened before anything on earth and in heaven.  

It is Christ who is the "Beginning of Creation";

Colossians 1: 15-16  King James Version

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

John 1: 3  King James Version

3 All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

The Beginning of Creation to Clarify as "The Father of all Creation".

For Christ indeed is "The Beginning" :

John 1: 3  King James Version

In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

There is also another translation given for "The Everlasting Father" base on the "google search", the research I did try to have more knowledge of that name or title given.

Why Title? Very clear because of the word "The" or "The - Everlasting Father", not Everlasting Father God but "The' Everlasting Father", and here it is :  See here even "google search" own definition is a "Title name or an office":

I will not argue on this, that they conclude that the meaning of "Everlasting" is "Eternal or Eternity", for Jesus Christ is "The Father of Eternity", He promised us "Eternal Life" and "Everlasting" Life in heaven with His Father :

John 3:15-16  King James Version

15 That whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish, but have everlasting life.

This is their basis why they believed that the meaning of "Everlasting Father" is "The Father of Eternity".

But "a-bi-ad" or abiad which means "Occurrence" ( the fact of something existence ) from "Original Hebrew Translation" is more accurate and has a much deeper knowledge than the English Translation "eternal" to "everlasting" or "Everlasting Father" to "Eternal Father".

Still acceptable because Jesus is the Father of Eternity who saved us to have an "Eternal Life", but not accurate because, "existence" is in the past, as related to the beginning of creation, and "eternal" is in the future for eternity. There is no future without the beginning of the past, and the most accurate translation is "Occurrence" (a-bi-ad) - the fact of something existing or being found in a place like what we saw in nature in heavenly bodies and other existing creation of the Lord God Almighty.

This knowledge of "The Beginning" and "The Father of all Creation", as the meaning of "Everlasting Father" already shared with me before, way back in 1987, by "Probationary Student" of PMCC 4th Watch, I did not question it, for the reason that I don't want to be confused to think that, Why does a child to be born by Virgin Mary is called "The Everlasting Father" ? which in the fact He is the Son of the Father.

2 John 1: 3  King James Version

Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

This knowledge will not anymore blow your mind why Jesus told Philip that whosoever saw me have seen the Father, for He is the "Everlasting Father" The Beginning of all Creation.

LET US LEARN TO WHAT IS WRITTEN :

John 14: 8-9  King James Version

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

These verses proved and show us that Christ truly is the "Father of all Creation" - The Beginning. Christ directly answers Philip according to his question on how to see the Father ?  Although there are verses proves that even Jesus insisting that "no man have seen the Father God only Him as The Son of God : 

John 5: 37  King James Version

And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape.

John 1: 18  King James Version

No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

But still, Jesus grants the question of Philip to satisfy him : 

 " Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us ".

AND THE NEXT VERSES JESUS EXPLAIN TO SATISFY THEM ON HOW TO SEE THE FATHER GOD OF WHICH WHAT PHILIP IS ACTUALLY ASKING FOR : 

John 14: 10-11  King James Version

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

THAT IN HIM (JESUS) MANIFEST GODLY NATURE ( THE GODHEAD ) EVEN OF THE FATHER GOD :

Colossians 2: 2, 8-9  King James version

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 

9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

We are really blessed that we are indeed complete of having the " Sound Doctrine" from the Living Apostle of our Lord Jesus in our time, the end time period, and the revelation coming from the "Holy Spirit" of God who is the "Comforter and Teacher" to understand fully what is written.

THROUGH THE LIVING APOSTLE REVELATION IN 4TH WATCH END TIME SEASON

2 Peter 3:2 New International Version (NIV)

2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

I have read many sound doctrines of PMCC 4th Watch, for I support some of them when they were just probationary students before, they did not withhold nor refuse to let me read some copies of PMCC 4th Watch Doctrines, I read some of it which I don't have much more knowledge about what I already have learned from the past congregations, but when I grow and grow, there, I myself still have much to learn and leave the elementary teachings but must move to maturity of which, this is my everyday prayer to God to give me more knowledge and wisdom and help my fellow Christians see the truth, especially to help them or you to answer those verses that create confusion of which other group is where they and believed. 

Hebrews 6: 1  Amplified Bible (AMP)

Therefore let us get past the elementary stage in the teachings about Christ, advancing on to maturity and perfection and spiritual completeness, [doing this] without laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Ephesians 1: 12-14 Good News Translation (GNT)

12 He did this to prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ. 13 And so we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God; we shall become mature people, reaching to the very height of Christ's full stature. 14 Then we shall no longer be children, carried by the waves and blown about by every shifting wind of the teaching of deceitful people, who lead others into error by the tricks they invent.

There are so many confusing verses, but I will separate it from another flyer and will post it to you as additional teachings to edify and satisfy each one regarding verses that create confusion.
