CHRONOLOGIE DE L'ADORATION DE JÉSUS
1880

He still is Lord, ans as such we worship Him. [...] To worship a false Christ would indeed be sin, but to worship Christ in any form cannot be wrong, for when He bringeth the first Begotten into the world, He sayeth, "Let all the angels of God worship Him."

🇫🇷 Traduction : Il est toujours le Seigneur, et en tant que tel nous L'adorons. [...] Adorer un faux Christ serait en effet un péché, mais adorer Jésus de n'importe quelle manière ne peut pas être incorrect, Car lorsqu'il introduit de nouveau dans le monde le premier-né, il dit: Que tous les anges de Dieu l'adorent!

It seems clear that His Divinity was retained in humanity because He repeatedly spoke of Himself as having come down from heaven, and because He, though passing through trial and sorrow as a man, was yet possessed of the authority and exercised the prerogatives of a God. He was the object of unreproved worship even when a babe, by the wise men who came to see the new-born King. Matt. 2:2-11. Even the angels delighted to do Him honor. "When He bringeth the first-begotten into the world, He saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." Heb. 1:6.
He never reproved any one for acts of worship offered to Himself,... 🇺🇸 Source : Zion's Watch Tower, October 1 1880, pages 2 et 3 |
🇫🇷 Traduction : Il fut l’objet d'une adoration non réprouvée, même alors qu'il était bébé, par les hommes qui vinrent voir le roi nouveau-né... il n'a jamais refusé aucun acte d'adoration qui lui fut offert,...

It is undoubtedly proper enough for us to address petitions to our Redeemer and Advocate, who loved us and gave himself for us... Although we are nowhere instructed to make petitions to him, it evidently could not be improper so to do; for such a course is nowhere prohibited, and the disciples worshiped him.

Question: The fact that our Lord received worship is claimed by some to be an evidence that while on earth he was God the Father disguised in a body of flesh and not really a man. Was he really worshiped, or is the translation faulty?
Answer: Yes, we believe our Lord Jesus while on earth was really worshiped, and properly so... It was proper for our Lord to receive worship in view of his having been the only begotten of the Father, and his agent in the creation of all things, including man, 🇺🇸 Source : Zion's Watch Tower, July 15 1898, pages 214-216 (Interesting Queries) |
🇫🇷 Traduction : Question. Le fait que notre Seigneur ait reçu l'adoration est revendiquée par certains comme une preuve que, pendant qu'il était sur terre, il était Dieu le Père déguisé dans un corps de chair et n'était pas vraiment un homme. Était-il vraiment adoré, ou bien la traduction est-elle fausse ?
Réponse. Oui, nous croyons que notre Seigneur Jésus sur terre était vraiment adoré, et à juste titre. (...) il était légitime pour notre Seigneur de recevoir l'adoration, étant le seul engendré du Père et son agent dans la création de toutes choses, y compris l'homme.
