Worship Jesus Only

Jesus is the one Lord God and are you confusing the sign with what is points to? The sign is the son of man which Jesus is but he is more than that but is God in a Father and Son relationship who are unified. :)
The bible, and Jesus, and all the apostles, very clearly associate the title "God" with the Father, and not with the Son. God is appropriate as a descriptor (not a title) for the Son in heaven, but unfortunately the English word "God" doesn't function in the Greek (anarthrous) descriptive sense, even if it is used that way in Jn 1:1c - although Jn 1:1c is a special case where the descriptive sense of the word "God" is enforced by the alternative title sense being used in Jn 1:1b. "God" being capitalized in English confers a title, which belongs to the Father:

1 Cor 15:24 "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father........"

εἶτα τὸ τέλος, ὅταν παραδιδοῖ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί ....."

So you're out of line in labelling Jesus as "the one Lord God." It plainly violates Jn 1:1 and it's not a biblical phrase applied to Jesus, except and in so far as refers to the Father. And Jesus isn't the Father, even if they are unified. They are conceptually and theologically different and distinct, although I fully concede that they present one deific power to creation "until the end cometh."

"The one Lord God" is reflective of modern-day Sabellianism that fails to understand the hierarchical nature of the relation between the Father and the Son.

Simply put that if you know Jesus then you worship God who is the Father in a Father and Son relationship. You need to worship no other than Jesus! :)

It's not how the bible puts it. Your displacement of the Father by Jesus is deprecated. The bible never does any such thing; and it's interesting to note that displacement of the Father by the Son, as in ba'al worship, where ba'al displaces his father El (or some other god), is the foundation of pagan systems of religion. What distinguishes Christianity is that the Father is not displaced by the Son.

However I concede to you that if you know Jesus, then you know the Father also. But your sentiment "worship no other than Jesus" is very strange: you won't find any of the apostles doing what you suggest. The Spirit is the representative/messenger of Jesus, and "The Lord is the Spirit" which demands obedience in Jesus's name, but "worship" as such is always paid to the Father.

Worships Jesus and you are worshiping the Father.:)
