Worship is religious only. Bowing is not.
1 Chronicles 29:20

https://biblehub.com/1_chronicles/29-20.htm

Besides check out all the Catholic Bibles, for around 2,000 years they do not use the word [ worship ] to Jesus, The Catholic Bibles say
[ adore ] but they use the word worship in other places in their Bibles.

Check out the Septuagint LXX, the Bible that Greek Christians used in the first three centuries.

You can know with 100% certainty, how?
Jesus gave us specific instructions to worship only the father.
Did Jesus ever give instructions for us to worship him also? No!

Most every Bible is translated by a person that believes in the Trinity, so that translator is reflecting in his translation, what he believes to be true, the best choice of words. Would you not do the same? The problem is there are not very many Bibles that are written by Unitarian translators.

And our spirit is the seat of our emotions.
Not Quite ---------just to clarify

Your soul is your-------- Mind --Will and Emotions -----

Strong's concordance
the soul , the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions

https://www.christianity.com/wiki/salvation/difference-between-a-soul-and-a-spirit.html

Role and Functions of the Soul
The soul is basically our mind, our emotions, and our will.


The function of the spirit is spiritual.

The spirit is the only way to connect with God, and we can only use the spirit if we believe in God and receive Him through our Lord Jesus Christ’s salvation.

The central basis for men to love one another is rooted in the character and nature of God Himself: "God
is love." No such statement exists in the Koran. In 1 John 4:7-21 alone, the word "love" is used 27 times.
Compare to the Koran: various grammatical forms of the word love is used only 69 times.



1 John 4:8b~ God is Love

All I know is man became a living soul in Genesis 2:7.
You are so right man became a living Soul -------so what makes you move around ----brain dead people do not move around -----they have a spirit but a dead mind ----

John 12:27--Jesus is speaking here --

Amplified Bible
“Now My soul is troubled and deeply distressed; what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour [of trial and agony]’? But it is for this [very] purpose that I have come to this hour [this time and place].

Greek word for soul used in this scripture above

Strong's Concordance
psuché: breath, the soul
Definition: breath, the soul
Usage: (a) the vital breath, breath of life, (b) the human soul, (c) the soul as the seat of affections and will, (d) the self, (e) a human person, an individual.

soul (psyche); a person's distinct identity (unique personhood), i.e. individual personality

the soul (Latinanimus), a. the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our soul, heart,
John 12:27; (fainting in your soul

Now you have a choice you can believe it or not ----up to you ---but that won't change what Soul is in scripture ---your mind ---your will and your emotions -----

Well John 20:17 clearly reads Jesus saying he has a God. If Jesus is God how can he have a God?
The same way King David is quoted as saying "Lord said to my Lord" in Mark 12:35-37
35 Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” 37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?”

John 2:19-Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Only God can raise Himself up from the dead. Jesus said He could raise Himself up from the dead. That makes Him God.
Hmmm ... if he was dead, and he raised himself from the dead, can we really say he was dead?

Yes we can. You can't rise from the dead if you are not dead. Jesus made it clear that He was going to die. He is Truth, not a liar.
