    The Son is God Almighty but he is not the Father
    How are you honouring the Father when you dishonour the only begotten God with the title god?
    John 5:23
    That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

    Tonio, the word “Almighty” is translated from the Hebrew word Shad·daiʹ and the Greek word Pan·to·kraʹtor. Both words evidently convey the idea of strength or power. Nowhere in Scripture are these words used to refer to the Son, only to his Father.
    That all should honour the Son is because of the authority bestowed on him by the Father. Even within the family arrangement God requires honour be given to those on whom it is bestowed.
    (Ephesians 6:1-3) Children, be obedient to your parents in union with the Lord, for this is righteous. 2 “Honor your father and your mother” is the first command with a promise: 3 “That it may go well with you and you may remain a long time on the earth.”

    According to Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, the·oʹtes (the nominative form, from which the·oʹte·tos is derived) means “divinity, divine nature.” (Oxford, 1968, p. 792) Being truly “divinity,” or of “divine nature,” does not make Jesus as the Son of God coequal and coeternal with the Father, any more than the fact that all humans share “humanity” or “human nature” makes them coequal or all the same age. Thus Col 2:9 can be translated, "because it is in him that all the fullness of the divine quality dwells bodily."
