At no time does scripture, rebuke, discourage or tell us to avoid worshipping Yahshua. Just the opposite. In order to worship YHWH in Ruach and EMET we must worship Him IN Emet and Yochanan 14:6 tells us the THE EMET is a PERSON, Yahshua Ha Moshiach. Anyone that does not learn to worship Yahshua is not approaching Abba in truth and is not pleasing to the Father. Yahshua always received worship by ALLOWING Himself to be worshipped.
2: 2 Saying, Where is He that is born Melech of the Yahudim? For we have seen His cochav in the east, and have come to worship Him. These were the ravmags, or rabbinic heralds of Babylon, who were the heirs taught directly by Daniel who also was a ravmag in Bavel.
2:11 And when they had come into the bayit, they saw the young Child with Miryam His eema, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
8:2 And, see, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Master, if You will, You can make me clean. The sick and infirm are to worship Yahshua for healing.
9:18 While He spoke these things to them, see, there came a certain synagogue leader, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay Your
hand upon her, and she shall live. Congregational leaders of TRUE talmidim are to worship Him.
14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of an emet You are the Son of YHWH. All 12 talmidim worshipped him.
15: 24 But He answered and said, They did not send Me but to the lost sheep of Beit Yisrael who went astray.
25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, Master, help me. Kananites and non-Yisraelites like this woman, worshipped Him.
28: 9 And as they went to tell His talmidim, see, Yahshua met them, saying, Greetings. May the Name deliver you. And they came and held Him by the feet, and worshipped Him. Sanctified women are to worship Him!
28: 16 Then the eleven talmidim went away into Galil, into a mountain where Yahshua had appointed them.
17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but
some still doubted. Do you still doubt that worshipping Him is worshipping YHWH? If you still doubt that, you are not a believer by biblical definition; you¡¯re still a doubter.
5:6 But when he saw Yahshua far off, he ran and worshipped Him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with You, Yahshua: You, Son of El-Elyon? Men possessed with demons worshipped Him to stop torment and obtain deliverance.
24: 51 And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He departed from them, and went up into the shamayim.
52 And they worshipped Him, and returned to Yahrushalayim with great simcha:
53 And were continually in the Beit HaMikdash, giving tehillot and brachot to YHWH. Amein. In the Moriah Temple Yahshua worship took place!
4: 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the emet worshippers shall worship the Abba in Ruach and in Emet: for the Abba seeks such to worship Him.
24 Eloah is Ruach: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Ruach and in Emet. Anyone not worshipping Yahshua is not worshipping correctly according to Yahshua¡¯s own words!
9: 35 Yahshua heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, Do you believe on the Son of YHWH?
36 He answered and said, Who is He, Master, that I may believe on Him?
37 And Yahshua said to him, You have seen Him, and it is He that is speaking with you right now.
38 And he said, Master, I believe. And he worshipped Him. The people of Yisrael worshipped Him.
18: 13 Saying, This fellow persuades men to worship Eloah contrary to the Torah. The accusation against Rav Shaul was that he was promoting the worship of Yahshua, which is forbidden by Torah.
24: 12 And they neither found me in the Beit HaMikdash disputing with any man, nor stirring up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way which theycall heresy, so I worship the Eloah of my ahvot, believing all things which are written in the Torah and in the Neviim: Rav Shaul defended himself by stating that the worship of Yahshua is not contrary to Torah but was actually promised and prophesied by Torah!
15 Having tikvah toward Eloah, which they themselves also believe, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the tzadikim and the unjust.
16 It is for this reason that I labor, to always have a conscience void of offense toward Eloah, and toward men. Rav Shaul knew that worshipping Yahshua was NOT offensive to YHWH!
25: 19 But had certain issues against him about their own worship, and about someone named Yahshua, who was dead, whom Shaul affirmed to be alive. Judaism¡¯s issue has not been with Yahshua, but the worship of Yahshua. Rav Shaul told us that, that is not heresy but revelation and well pleasing!
Ivrim 1: 6 And again, when He brings in the first brought-forth into the olam, He says, And let all the heavenly malachim of Eloah worship Him. Malachim worship Yahshua and its not considered heresy by Abba YHWH!!
Gilyahna 3: 9 See, I will make them of the synagogue of s.a.tan, who say they are Yahudim, and are not, but do lie; see, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
This doesn¡¯t mean that men will worship men, but that those who hate us for worshipping Yahshua, and see us as pagans, will one day join us at our feet and worship YAHSHUA with us! Just like Rav Shaul and all the shlichim! Yahshua will make them worship Him, as he transfers men from the synagogue of s.a.tan to the synagogue of Yahshua!
Gilyahna 5: 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four beasts and the twenty-four zechanim fell down before the Lamb, having each one of them harps, and golden bowls full of spices, which are the tefillot of Yisraelite kidushim. The prayers we send up go to Yahshua! EVERYONE in the heavens BOWS and PRAYS to the LAMB! Got it!
Ivrim 13:8 says Yahshua is the same always and thus it is always Torah based and sanctioned worship to worship Him!!!
9 And they sang a renewed shir, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for You were slain, and have redeemed us to YHWH by Your dahm out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation;
10 And have made us melechim and kohanim to our Eloah: and we shall reign in the olam.
11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many heavenly malachim around the kesay and the beasts and the zechanim: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, The multitudes of heaven worship and sing praise to the Lamb.
12 Saying with a loud voice, [heaven is not ashamed of their Torah based worship of the Lamb!] Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and chochmah and strength and honor, and tifereth and brachot.
13 And every creature which is in the shamayim, and on the olam, and under the olam, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and tifereth, and power, be to Him that sits upon the kesay, and to the Lamb le-olam-va-ed!
Both Father and Son being One are to be worshipped! How they are one is best understood by the teaching on the Greater and Lesser YHWH.
14 And the four beasts said, Amein. And the twenty-four zechanim fell down and worshipped Him that lives leolam-va-ed. Heaven worships the Lamb because like Abba YHWH He lives forever!

2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was and is also in Moshiach Yahshua:
6 Who, being in the very form
of Eloah, thought it not presumptuous, or
blasphemous ¨C that He is the equal of YHWH:
7
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of an eved,
and was made in the likeness of the sons of men:
8 And being found fashioned as a
man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the
execution stake.
9
Therefore YHWH
also
has highly exalted Him, and given Him The Name which is above every name:
10 That at The
Name of Yahshua
every knee should bow, of things in the shamayim, and things on earth, and
things under the earth;
11 And that every
tongue should confess that
Yahshua
ha Moshiach is The Master
YHWH,
to the tifereth of Eloah His Abba.
[Tongues are to speak and EVERY knee is to bow/worship Yahshua which
is said to bring the kind of glory to the Father that He
seeks!]
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Close-In context, you cannot work out your eternal salvation until you OBEY and LEARN how to WORSHIP/BOW the knee to Yahshua. Like it or be confused by it, it still doesn¡¯t matter! That¡¯s what Scripture says, and that¡¯s what will allow you to work things out between you and YHWH!
