Jesus should not be worshiped as God or anthing above the average man.

You have presented an argument that has been made throughout history from the time the Jesus walked the earth to the present day. Anyone who would claim that He was not God and not worthy of being worshiped as God has a mountain of evidence to overcome both from the historical account of Roman and Jewish historians as well as the recorded claims Jesus made about himself.Let me say also that whether or not Jesus should be worshiped is a matter of opinion to each person and a choice they have to make for themselves. I will demonstrate why I think Jesus is worthy to be worshiped. So I'll begin... You said, "hear this far too often, to the point where I ask myself weather its Jesus their worshiping or God? In most cases I find that it is indeed Jesus that is being worshiped." Christians worship Jesus because of the incarnation. This is the idea that the spirit of God came and dwelled among man in human form in the physical Character of Jesus who they call the Christ. Christians worship Jesus because to them, He is God. Christians believe this because Jesus says things like, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. (John 14:9) Christians believe that God is represented in three persons acting in one accord. The Father (the celestial spiritual form of God) The Son (The physical embodiment of God) and the holy spirit (the spirit of God which dwells in human hearts). I don't understand why it surprises you that Christians worship Jesus as they believe that He is God. "he [Jesus] simply isn't worthy of worship. No human is." I agree that no Human being is worthy of praise, except in the case of Jesus for this reason: Jesus claimed to be God [and he was]he was both fully God and fully a man, and His death freed us from the punishment due to us for our trespass. Muslims [before they were muslims] during the time of Abraham practiced ritual sacrifice. Wouldn't you agree that if Jesus was God then the sacrifice He made by being taken into the hands of imperfect men willingly and dying as a sacrifice to cover our trespass the he would be worthy of worship? If someone took a bullet for you wouldn't you be grateful? That is the frame of reference Christians have when they praise Jesus. He is not just a man to them. "some people forget that there were many before Jesus with a unique touch of divinity. People like Samson, Moses, and Noah would be perfect examples." These people did not come to die for the sins of all of mankind. None of them claimed to be divine. "Point is that there were pleanty of prophets before Jesus who preformed spectacular acts and were, themselves, spectacular humans, but people back in these times had enough common sense not to worship these guys as "God"" That is not entirely accurate in that people back then often times worshiped little wooden statues believed that kings who won many battles should be worshiped as a god. You might want to re-think how you define common sense. "As a muslim I don't believe Jesus died on the cross, but I do believe that he died, as do all christians and muslims" Jesus' execution is reported in a number of ancient sources: Christian and non-Christian. In addition to the four Gospels and a number of letters contained in the New Testament, all of which were written in the first century, Jesus' execution is even reported by a number of ancient non-Christian sources. Josephus (late first century), Tacitus (early second century), Lucian (early to mid second century), and Mara bar Serapion (second to third centuries) all report the event. The fact that these non-Christians mentioned Jesus in their writings shows that Jesus' death was known outside of Christian circles and was not something the Christians invented. "why worship anything that can die a mortal death just like the rest of us!?" Because that death was the sacrifice that paid a price and a debt for the wrongdoing of every person from creation to revelation. "I don't think Jesus should be worshiped, I think thats already been established, what funny is that Jesus himself renounced any forms of worship, and openly worshiped God himself." Actually that's incorrect, there are many instances of Jesus openly receiving acts of worship. Jesus was anointed by the woman at Bethany which given the cultural context would have been seen as worship. He also received worship upon his entry into Jerusalem preceding his death. People cried Hosanna as he rode by on Donkey and lowered palm branches at his feet. "Why would Jesus fast for God if he was God?" The text never says Jesus fasted for God and the story actually explained why he was fasting, he was fasting to prove that he was sinless. "Now, I want you Jesus Freaks to honestly ask yourselves, what kind of sense would it make for Satan to be trying to get God [if Jesus were God] to kneel at his feet." Satan knew that only a perfect sacrifice could bring forgiveness to man's sins. If Jesus was fully man and fully god, then Satan could appeal to his human weakness to try and tarnish the sacrifice to be made. In conclusion, the arguments you have made are nothing new, however, it is up to the human to decide who they will worship. I believe that the evidence supports a divine savior in Jesus
