If Jesus were not God, then the Father would never share His worship, His throne, His glory with His Son.
Boxjobox somehow would like us to get the impression that Jesus began in the womb of Mary, that He was a unique man, who became Messiah. That view sees only the seen, and not the unseen.
"Before Abraham was, I am."
For Boxjobox to promote the idea that the man Jesus was exalted by God and now at the right hand of His throne (but denying His eternal deity) is to me the same as the RCC exalting the "blessed virgin" Mary. Read their theology. Billions believe that sinless and perfect Mary is their co-Redeemer, has ascended to the heavens, has been crowned with glory and honor, and is now deserving all the prayers and praise of all God's children.

Ohio, I’m going off what was preached in Acts- Peter, John, Phillip, Stephen, Paul. I’m going off what Paul told us in Galatians of the gospe, and what Paul told the Corinthians was that gospel ( read 1 Cor 15). No one seems that interested in declaring that Jesus is God! But they all DO seem very fervent in declaring that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God and that God raised this man from the dead, and seated him at His right hand and that this man would return. They all talked about God as God and Christ as Christ.
