According to John, Christians believe that Jesus, who is called the Lamb, is very special and deserves all the love, respect, and good things because he was willing to die for them. They think he is like a king who should get lots of praise and thanks.

Revelation 5:12: Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Contradiction with Matthew 4:10

Revelation 5:12 speaks of worship directed towards the Lamb, while Matthew 4:10 emphasizes worship should be towards God alone, thereby raising questions on the scope of worship.

Matthew 4:10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8

Isaiah states that God does not give His glory to another, yet Revelation 5:12 attributes all power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing to the Lamb, which suggests sharing God's glory.

Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Contradiction with John 5:23

John emphasizes honoring the Son just as the Father, but Revelation 5:12's focus on the Lamb alone for worship might be seen as elevating the Lamb's status in a way that appears separate from this co-honor.

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.

Exodus highlights having no other gods and directs focus solely on God, while in Revelation 5:12, the Lamb is given praise and worship, raising questions about exclusivity.

Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
