Ten Commandments vs Jesus


Does worshiping Jesus Christ violate the 2nd Commandment?

"You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."

I was watching a show last night about Issac Newton. He was very religious and believed that worshiping Jesus was in direct violation with the Second commandment.

Thought it was a very interesting concept and wanted to see what people though.

Based on what I have read in the Bible I would have to say yes, worshiping Jesus does in fact violate the second commandment.

since the kinds of people who would care about whether or not they are breaking the ten commandments are the same kinds of people who believe jesus was god, i would say no.

Jesus is God. This is based on the trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three in one. This concept is established in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.



Below is one verse from each the Old and New Testament stating that Jesus is God.



Old Test:

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.



New Test:

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

In the Old Testament God refers to himself as I am.
"God said to Moses, "I am who I am . [a] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

Many times in the New Testament Jesus does the same.

I thought you were quoting Popeye
