Should we worship Jesus?
 
It's said Jesus is fully man and fully God. It's also said we should worship God and we should not worship man.

So since Jesus is fully man we shouldn't worship him. But since he is fully God we should. I'm a little confused on if we should worship Jesus or not?

A person has to first know who he is...
Pss.45
[10] Hearken, O daughter (of Zion), and consider,
and incline your ear;
forget also your own people (like Abraham), and your father's house;
[11] So the king (and God of Israel Jesus),
shall greatly desire your beauty (righteousness)
for he (Jesus) is your (Israelite) Lord (Deut. 6:4)
and you (must) worship him.
+++
After the resurrection of the God of Israel.
Matt.28
[9] And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold, Jesus met them, saying,
All hail.
And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
+
[16] Then the eleven disciples (APOSTLES) went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
[17] And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

I worship Yeshua as the Christ. Both God and man.

Re: Should we worship Jesus?
 
Yes we should worship Jesus.

Hebrews 1:6
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him

Jesus and the Father are worshipped in heaven..

The Worship of GOD, the Highest the Father, who never died.
Rev.4
[8] Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord GOD Almighty, (the good Father),
who was and who is and who is to come.
[9] When the (4) beasts give:
glory (praise)
and honor (high regard)
and thanks (for all good gifts)
to the Highest GOD who sat on the throne,
who lives forever and ever (and never dies)
[10] then the twenty four (24) elder
>> fall down (on all fours) before the Highest,
who sat on the throne,
and worshiped him (happily and humbly),
who lives forever and ever.
They cast their crowns, in front of,
the throne (of the Most High and good GOD) saying:
[11] O LORD (GOD), you are >> worthy << to get
glory (acknowledgment and high regard from the creation)
and honor (from the entire creation)
and power (to rule above all)
for you have create
all things, (by Jesus Christ your Power and your Wisdom).
All things are and were created, (by Jesus),
to bring you (the good GOD), pleasure (happiness).

The Worship of the Son, the lamb, who is the Mighty God Of Israel.

Rev.5
[6] I beheld and lo,
in the midst of the throne (with GOD)
and the midst of the four (4) beasts,
and in the midst of the (24) elders,
stood a Lamb, like it (he) had been >> killed,
having seven (7) horns and seven (7) eyes,
that are the seven (7) Spirits of GOD,
that are sent forth,
into the entire earth (and in the Holy People).
[7] The lamb came,
and took the Book from the right hand of GOD, (the Highest)
who sat upon the throne.
[8] When he, the lamb (the Mighty God), had taken the book,
the four (4) beasts together with the twenty (24) elders,
every one of them having harps (musicians)
and golden vials full of odors, that are the prayers of saints,
>> fell down before (worshipped) the Lamb (the HEAD of the Church).
[9] They (28) sung a new song (of praise to Jesus) saying:
You are worthy, (have merited),
to take the Book and to open its seals,
for you were slain (for our sins)
and by your blood, you (the seed of Abraham),
have redeemed us to GOD (the Highest),
out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation
[10] and you have made us Kings and Priests, (a Royal Priesthood),
to our GOD (the Highest)
and we (Kings and Priests of the Highest GOD),
shall reign (over all people) on the earth.
+++
[11] I (John) saw and I hear
>> the voice << of many angels (saved ones)
who gathered around the throne (of GOD)
and the (4) beasts and the (24) elders:
and the number of them (the angels) was
ten thousand times ten thousand,
and thousands of thousands
[12] shouting with a (united) loud voice:
The Lamb, who was slain,
is worthy to be rewarded (from GOD)
Power >> (all power in Heaven and on the earth)
and Riches (Spiritual and material, as GOD’s inheritor)
and Wisdom (from the 7 Spirits)
and strength (from the 7 Spirits)
and honor (from GOD and man)
and glory (from GOD and man)
and blessing (happiness from GOD and man, forever)
+++
As above so below.

We worship a Person not a thing. We worship Him not his nature.

Jesus is a Person (God) who has both the Divine and Human natures.

So if that person wasn't the creator, the almighty, the ruler of the universe then we would worship him? Because those titles are intrsically tied to God's nature and there is no way you can say we should worship a person without claiming that person is those things.

He (Person) is THE Creator because He (Person) possesses that charactoristic

Prax you must believe Jesus is not god just as strongly as you believe he is god. It's what dual nature doctrine teaches. That Jesus both is god and is not god. Until you are just as comfortable saying Jesus is not god and that Jesus shouldn't be worshipped as you are sayin he is god and he should be worshipped then your missing half of what dual nature doctrine teaches.
