Just how you manage to mentally demonstrate reverence and doubt at the same time must be down to the magical effect that Jesus effects upon scripture. How else are we to account for it?
Of course they were faking it. After all, who worships a created being?

The text reads the way it does for a reason. Apparently you can't cipher that out, so you resort to labeling as well as a preconceived argument.
You exhibit all the symptoms of a person in denial.
You are the one who doubts.

I guarantee you this Robbie if Jesus came to you in all of His Glory you would fall flat on your face in fear ( as all of us would ) Jesus knocked Paul (Saul) on His Duff ........
Acts 9
it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; 4 and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting

Originally posted by RJHindsThen Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”
Jesus has the power to raise your body from the dead and save your soul from Hellfire and you say you would not worship Him for that?
The words of Jesus I believe.
Look how your inability to think rationally has clouded your mind to such an extent that you are even willing to push aside the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, may he have mercy on you for that.
