   Wow! Excellent Scriptures on worshipping Jesus!   
      
   Since Satan hates Jesus, he will move upon those   
   he controls to disparage the idea of worshipping   
   Jesus.   
      
   Now I understand ~why~ Robert doesn't want to   
   worship Jesus.   
      
   Hopefully he will repent of his rebellion against   
   our loving Creator, the living God.   
      
   Otherwise he will eventually share the destiny of   
   the first great rebel and his followers.
