Is Jesus Christ the True God?

[samtonga43]

We worship who we think that we worship.

Is there any other way?

I must have missed it. What is the exact quote from the USCCB that says Catholics are not to worship Jesus or specifically says to worship ONLY the Father? It doesn't do any good to quote where it says you worship the Father. I k now you do. I'm saying you worship Jesus as well, which basically means giving him adoration as a deity.

Did you ever address Eucharistic Adoration? Who is being worshiped?

Jesus is creator.... He is God!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

Yet, not a few quasi-Christian sects do just that—vehemently reject this central teaching. So how can Catholics present a cogent defense steeped in Scripture and faithful to magisterial teaching? <<<<<<<

The Father alone is the first principle of life in the Godhead; thus, the Catechism of the Catholic Church can say, in paragraph 246: “Everything that belongs to the Father, except being Father, the Son has also eternally from the Father, from whom he is eternally born . . .” (emphasis added). In this sense, the Father can be said to be greater than the Son relationally, while they are absolutely equal with regard to their essence as God.

I am not Roman Catholic. but I agree with the above completely.

JThe divinity of Christ is an essential teaching of the Catholic faith. Indeed, any community of faith that would deny Christ’s deity ceases to be Christian at all..

In other words, the Catholic church is claimimg to be authoritative,
and claims the title of "Christian" for their own church.

Almighty God is the Best of All Judges. G-d does not judge by the authority of the Catholic church .. so it doesn't really matter what they think.
It matters what G-d thinks.

samtonga43 it is good to meet you.... Jesus is God!
The Anti-Christ is Anti-Christian because "Christians are Christ followers"! All who do Not believe as Christians "Jesus is God" are doing the work of the Anti-Christ!
Arius Was a Christian until he rejected Christian belief, he was a False Teacher, he was "Among" Christians until he was removed from Among Christians as a Heretic! He was Anti-Christ!
This is scripture prophesy....
2 Peter 2:1
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

samtonga43 this prophesy cannot work in the reverse... Christians were Not Among Arius; Arius was Among Christians until they removed him as a False Teacher!
Verse 2 (above) points out the Christians that removed Arius were Catholics they were "the Way of Truth"!

muhammad_isa right you are... You hit the nail right on the head! The Catholic Church "Is the Body of Jesus"! The Church was given the Authority to speak for God until he returns!

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Matthew 28:19 The Great Commission... Go make disciples of all nations baptizing! In the name of God! The Church speaks for God, in His Name; Representing God the Church has the authority to speak for God!

Matthew 28:20
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 18:20
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Peter speaks for Jesus in his name!
Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

Luke 10:16
“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

muhammad_isa Do you see it (above) you reject the Catholic Church you are thus rejecting God!

Really .. does that include the priests who were found guilty of sexual misdemeanours?
I don't believe in infallible churches , infallible Popes, or infallible councils .. sorry.
