Educating unitarians on biblical worship

You are reading that into the passage ---- she said nothing close to what you are implying.

The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.” ...... “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”

The Samaritan woman is linking the idea of Jesus being a prophet with being the Messiah, the Christ ----- the prophet foretold by Moses in the OT.

David accepted worship ---- And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the king. (1 Chronicles 29:20) accepting worship does not make one God.

Round and round we go with this..

The worship Jesus received was beyond a subject to a king. Far beyond it.

The worship the Lamb receives in Revelation is God worship... THE God.
