theres a very simple reason why christians take jesus as there lord and it in no way goes against the command to serve only one god - surely you got to have heard of the trinity - jesus is god - god made flesh - thats why in john 8.57 and 58 he we read.....
57 So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
jesuss words here are either proff he was cuckoo crazy and nobody should ever listen to a word he said again - or if your a believer they can only mean he is god - only god could say i am as i am is the name of god - as somebody with way more smarts than me put it.....
I am. That our Lord by this expression asserted his divinity and eternal existence, as the great I AM, appears evident from the use of the present tense, instead of the past tense, from its being in answer to the Jews, who enquired whether he had seen Abraham, and from its being thus understood by the multitude, who were exasperated at it to such a degree that they took up stones to stone him. The ancient Jews not only believed that the Messiah was superior to and Lord of all the patriarchs, and even of angels, but that his celestial nature existed with God from whom it emanated, before the creation, and that the creation was effected by his ministry.
