Wow! thanks for the answer! xD it´s good to see you here, generally like yuor approach on things and they way you discuss
Well, for starters, I must say that in this I am talking about the testaments, not the letters, while I know that you have faith in both, the question goes towards Jesus explicitly saying he wants to be worshipped.
I like what you say about people doing it because they feel he deserves it, I do think if he existed, he was trully a man to learn a lot of. In any case, the question goes towards the point that Jesus never said that if you "dont worshp him you are going to hell".
The closest thing he came to say that would be that only through him one could see he Father, but this still doesn´t mean that he will close you the door if you never talked to him. I think the guy in the testaments would probably even point you at the door if you are dramatically going towards the pits of hell at the other side xD(not trying to say that he would "force " it upon us, but I digress xD)
What I mean is, that if he had so great power to forgive everyone that he wants, and he clearly not felt short in any moment on the testaments to remember us that he had a great heart to forgive everyone (like people booing him in the cross) then I just don´t see why would he not open the doors to the heavens to those who need it, even if they didn´t beleive in his historic existence or never heard his name, as long as they tried their best to be good to their brothers.
so my argument goes toards that point: the fact that Jesus never asked to be worshipped, so it is not a
need for salvation. (though I would doubt anyone that asks with open heart for virtue and grace in his name would be turned down, I am just saying it´s not a requirement)
So what are your thoughts on that? And to that, no verses where he does asks to be worshipped?
