Re: Unitarians who worship Jesus as God
It doesn't seem to me that this preacher worships Jesus as God. He never calls Jesus God (though he did say God added to His divine nature). He didn't say God became human, either. Rather, he stated that God indwelt the man Jesus Christ, and that this man now sits at the right hand of the Father.
What makes him a Unitarian is that he believes God is uni-personal, but not in the way most Oneness believers do. He may or may not be a Universalist.
Unitarians do not believe that Jesus Christ is God the Father, or is divine in any other way.
They believe that God is one, but that He did not trans-substantiate His nature in order to become human (i.e. divine eternal Spirit into human temporal flesh).
That is, what was, is, and will be about God never changes. God was in Christ, but God was not Christ. Basically, the man Christ Jesus is only that, a man (sinless, yes, and born of a virgin without a human father, as well), and God the Father is only that, God, completely distinct from one another.
