Jesus' Entitlements

The status of born-again Christians in God's family circle is that of an
adopted child. (Rom 8:15, Gal 4:5, Eph 1:15)

Jesus' status is many times more superior than theirs because he's in God's
family circle as a paternal child; in point of fact, as God's one and only
paternal child. (John 1:14 John 1:18 John 3:16, John 3:18, 1John 4:9)

Regardless of how people believe Jesus might've obtained his paternal
status, and regardless of whether his paternal status is actual or
administrative, the status entitles Jesus to be known as God's direct
descendant-- a position whereby the rules of heredity entitle Jesus to be
known by his Father's name, which most everybody knows is Jehovah, a.k.a.
Yahweh. (cf. Heb 1:4-5)

Now if God was to actually father a direct descendant, the result would be as
divine as Himself just as when a man fathers a direct descendant, the result
is as human as himself, i.e. more of his own kind. So then, in his status as
God's direct descendant, Jesus is entitled to be known as deity, i.e. the one
true deity.

NOTE: I'm not suggesting that Jesus' relationship with God is biological. The
thing is: I don't know how else to explain their situation except in terms
familiar to us all

Well think of this way the virgin mary had Jesus as a baby but one could only have a baby with a seed so if the father gave his seed to mary then yes Jesus is a direct biological child of the father

● Isa 52:13 . . Behold, My servant will prosper, he will be high and lifted up, and
greatly exalted.

In recognition for the unusual extent of his dedication to God and Man, Phil 2:6-11
says God gave Jesus the name that is above every name. Well; those of us
schooled in the old testament know that the name above every name is spelled
with the four-letter tetragrammaton YHWH and/or YHVH.

The correct pronunciation is currently unknown. Sometimes it's pronounced
Yehovah, sometimes Jehovah, and sometimes Yahweh. The appellation is so sacred
among pious Jews that they make every effort to avoid speaking it except under
very special circumstances.

Anyway, because Jesus has that name, he is entitled to be worshipped and revered
by everyone up in the sky, everyone down on the ground, and everyone under the
ground, viz: the full round of nature; and then some, even the angels. (Heb 1:6)

I'd imagine there will be some very bitter folks who will resist bending the knee in
reverence to Jesus' name; nevertheless they will, and possibly by force if necessary
because the dignity of the name has to take priority over their personal feelings
about Jesus.
