Not at all. I responded to a comment by another poster you had replied to. He affirmed worshippiong Christ. That was what was in my mind.
I will address your remark about Worship showing how Christ is in fact worshipped in scripture
John 9:38 And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him.
Matt 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
Matt 28:17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
Matt 14:33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”
Luke 24:52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
Heb 1:6 And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
Rev 5:12–14 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.”
And the elders fell down and worshiped.
Logos provides the following
Christ not only accepted divine worship but also demanded it
1. The New Testament provides extensive evidence: the apostles and early disciples worshipped Christ both during his earthly ministry and after his ascension
2. Women worshipped him following his resurrection
1, and early Christians directed their prayers to Christ, becoming known as “callers upon Christ” before they were even called Christians
2.
The theological foundation rests on Christ’s divine nature and authority. One who taught that God alone should be worshipped must himself be God, since he accepted worship
1. Christ is presented as an object of divine worship—he whom all angels are commanded to worship and to whom every knee shall bow must be the object of spiritual worship
2. This worship extends beyond mere honor; if Christ is to be worshipped as God, then he is to be worshipped with the worship required in the first commandment, which is proper to the only true God alone
3.
The practice is eschatologically affirmed as well. Christ will be worshipped when the throne is set in the heavens, with archangels, angels, the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders falling down to worship him
1.
Additional biblical passages supporting Christ’s worship: Philippians 2:9–11 declares that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 1:6 commands that all the angels of God worship him.
Revelation 5:11–14 depicts heavenly worship where the Lamb receives power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing alongside the one who sits on the throne.
