Son of God

Adam was called the Son of God, along with Melchizedek; so why do Christians not worship those two personalities as well?

Luke 3:38
Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Hebrews 7:1-3(ERV)
7 Melchizedek was the king of Salem and a priest for God the Most High. He met Abraham when Abraham was coming back after defeating the kings. That day Melchizedek blessed him. 2 Then Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had.
The name Melchizedek, king of Salem, has two meanings. First, Melchizedek means “king of justice.” And “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 No one knows who his father or mother was or where he came from. And no one knows when he was born or when he died. Melchizedek is like the Son of God in that he will always be a priest.

Hebrews 7:3 (CSB)
3 Without father, mother, or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.​

Hebrews 7:3 (HCSB)
3 without father, mother, or genealogy,
having neither beginning of days nor end of life,
but resembling the Son of God

Hebrews 7:3 (RSV)
He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

As for Adam being the son of god, almost all the various versions I've read do say this:

Luke 3:38
who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God.
And I assume the reason Christians don't worship him is because he ain't going to save their souls. Plus, he helped infest them with original sin.

and yet Jesus is ordered after Melchizedek.

but that still doesn't address why christians don't worship them too vs just jesus.

fyi, zedek also means righteousness; so he was also called the king of righteousness.
