Is God the Son Completely *EQUAL* to His Heavenly Father??

IS GOD THE SON COMPLETELY EQUAL TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE COMPLETELY ONE IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE??
Now there are some who state that since Jesus and His Father are Both God and are the only Ones who should be worshiped they are also *EQUAL*since they are One in what they believe.
However Jesus contradicts this view in John 14:28,31: Jesus says, "If you loved Me, you would be glad that I am going to to the Father, for the Father is *GREATER* than I....The world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what My Father has commanded Me!�
John14:24 Jesus says, These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me.�
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your brothers, I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in MY Name, I Myself will call him to account!!"
John 17:24: Jesus prayed, �Father, I want those YOU have given Me to be with Me where I am!�
John 6:39,44: Jesus says, �This is the will of HIM who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all that HE has given Me, but raise them up on the Last Day...No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me draws Him, and I will raise him up on the Last Day!�
I Corinthians 15:22-24: �For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits, then when He comes, those who belong to Him. Then the **END** will come, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.� And so when Jesus comes again He will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father!
Luke 11:2-4: Jesus commands, �When you pray, say: �Father, hallowed be Your Name, Your Kingdom come {When Jesus comes again above} And so In Luke 11 and in Matthew 6:5-13 Jesus commands us to only pray to the Father and not even to Himself.
Unfortunately there are many who sinfully worship and pray to other gods and even humans like the Roman Catholic Church who worships and prays to Mary.
Unfortunately, in many Evangelical churches you hardly ever here about our Heavenly Father.

Lovingcoman states that:
"Jesus Christ is not God."
Titus 2:13: "We wait for the Blessed Hope--the glorious appearing of our *GREAT GOD* and Savior, Jesus Christ.":applause:
Christians are commanded to worship God *ALONE* as per Rev 19:10 & Rev 22:8,9 and hundreds of other Scripture. Revelation 5:13,14: Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the sea and all that is in them, singing: "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb {Jesus} be praise and honor and power and glory, for ever and ever!" The four living creatures said "Amen," and the elders fell down and WORSHIPED! {The Lamb, Jesus}
Hebrews 1:6-8: When God brings His firstborn into the world, He says, "Let all God's angels WORSHIP HIM!"....But about the Son He {The Father}} says, "Your throne, O *GOD* will last for ever and ever!":applause:
Rev 22:3: The throne of God {The Father} and of the Lamb {Jesus} will be in the City {The eternal New Jerusalem} Rev 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." There will be only TWO thrones for Jesus and His Father in the eternal New Jerusalem {according to Rev 22:3 above} and they are only TWO who should be worshiped both now and for ever and ever.
Hebrews 1:8: About the Son He {The Father} says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever.!!":applause::peace:
