When in the bible God created the world and everything in it?For thos who know me they know I am Wiccan and have diffrent beliefs but what I dont understand is that they worship Jesus when God is the one who states that we should worship no one over him. That includes Jesus in my book.
What are your views on this?Why do people worship Jesus as "Lord and Savior" and not God?

'Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."' (John 14:6)
*******
'36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.' (Acts 2:36-38)
*******
'1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.' (John 1:1-14)

This is why I worship Jesus. I do not know the teachings of your faith, and therefore I do not disrespect your faith. Until you know the teachings of my faith, it would be good of you to show me that same respect. Thank you.

For starters little do you know I was raised a Christian. I have converted within the last 3 yrs to Wicca and even when I was goingto church on a regular basis I couldent understand it.
I am NOT in any way dis-respecting the Christian faith or religin for that matter. I was simply asking a question to better understand why.
If trying to understand something and being courious as to why people do things then every one belongs in jail for wanting to learn and understand the world arround us.

He is God incarnated in Human form to save people from their sins.He is God and should be worshipped.

For starters Iwas taught that Jesus was the SON OF GOD, not God incarinated. There for Jesus is not a God. As far as I am concerened there is and always will be 1 God and he is NOT Jesus.

In Christianity, Jesus "is" God. He is the second person of the Holy Trinity. We understand God as a trinity made up of three persons, who are in reality all One: There is the first person, the Father (the ground of all being); the third person, the Holy Spirit (often understood as the "dove", the "fire" or the "wind" that animates and gives life and wisdom to our world); and there is the second person, Jesus the Messiah, a unique person who penetrates human history at a specific place and time in order to accomplish a specific change. These three are all parts of one God. It is always correct to refer to each as God.

One of the basic beliefs of Christianity is the Holy Trinity...this quite simply means that there are three in one..God , the Holy spirit and Jesus his son or earthly representative....
So Jesus is God , God is Jesus, the Holy Spirit is Jesus and God etc ... the concept of three divinities in one is one of the most contentious aspects of Christianity both for Christians and non Christians...of course this was concluded as being part of the Christian Faith by the clerics in the original church and i think was authenticated by some Synod or other in the early parft of the 4th century ..would have to look that up...

God is 3 yet 1. We have God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. They are all God.

People worship jesus as GOD's Son but GOD has no family it's true...why people will worship HIM because of the old people who though christianity.They told and make people to worship HIM as GOD's son but as per my knowledge Jesus no where in bible had clime that he is God's son instead He said that we all are HIS son's and HE is the saviour and punisher praise HIM and get HIS blessings but no one is ready to listen bible instead they are listening to the fathers'pasters and all.

If you want to communicate your love to a colony of ants, how could you do it most effectively? Clearly, it would best to become an ant.
That is what God did with us. He came in the person of Jesus to live among us. So, God and Jesus are one and the same.
