I hope this article helps you and other Unitarians see the truth concerning the glorification of the Son and your great error in not giving him the worship his Father demands.

Originalist, That is a great Oneness message.

I wonder why that preacher is a Unitarian? Is it because that he believes that every one will be saved?
Is a Unitarian and a Universalist the same?

Not all Unitarians are of the universalist mindset.

You don't understand how the God of Jesus wants to be worshiped.

Following Jesus' example is the best way.

Following the directives of his Father would be best.

He only says what His Father says. He and His Father are one.

So when his Father said "Thou art my son, this day I have begotten thee", did Jesus repeat those words?

Get real, Seekerman. why not do something novel, like actually reading this sermonette I posted and see where this guy is coming from? Then ,point by point, tell us where you agree or disagree.

It doesn't seem to me that this preacher worships Jesus as God. He never calls Jesus God (though he did say God added to His divine nature). He didn't say God became human, either. Rather, he stated that God indwelt the man Jesus Christ, and that this man now sits at the right hand of the Father.

What makes him a Unitarian is that he believes God is uni-personal, but not in the way most Oneness believers do. He may or may not be a Universalist.

Unitarians do not believe that Jesus Christ is God the Father, or is divine in any other way.

They believe that God is one, but that He did not trans-substantiate His nature in order to become human (i.e. divine eternal Spirit into human temporal flesh).

That is, what was, is, and will be about God never changes. God was in Christ, but God was not Christ. Basically, the man Christ Jesus is only that, a man (sinless, yes, and born of a virgin without a human father, as well), and God the Father is only that, God, completely distinct from one another.
