If Jesus was God, whydid he tell Satan to worship God and not himself?
"Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" Matthew 4:10 NIV

Jesus tells us who to pray to - to the Father and not to Jesus:

”But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:6 RSV

"Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." Matthew 6:9 RSV

If Jesus was God why is he seated on the right hand of God? It does not say he is seated on the right hand of the father. These verses proves that Jesus is not part of God:

“But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God” Luke 22:69 NIV
“’You have said so,’ Jesus replied. ‘But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” Matthew 26:64 NIV

Jesus has no authority over who sits on the right or left of him, so he is not God or coequal to God:

“Jesus said to them, ‘You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.’” Matthew 20:23 NIV

Good question,
I hope that Christians on this forum will answer the question.
