Despite what the video says at the end - it all looks like worship to me. Praying to? kneeling and bowing before, etc.? It stinks of idolatry to me and I don't want any part of it.
well if you can not differentiate between the two it is good that you do not venerate our LadyBasically, they perform all of the key elements of worship towards Mary, but yet somehow it is not "worship" because they rename it "veneration" or something else?
I can't help but feel that it's apples and apples.
My spirit is unable to differentiate the two and absolutely could not perform this "veneration" of Mary without it being "worship" in the biblical sense. I don't know how anyone could.

what is worship? are all those who kneel in prayer to God true worshipers? will not our Lord say to many "get away from me, I never knew you"
would he say that to someone who really worshiped Him?
Now I ask where in all scripture is it ever written for what the Pope proclaimed in 1854?
Genesis 3: 15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
Luke 1: 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
Revelation 12: 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
14 And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
18 And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
Worship is more then just a physical action, you see people kneeling infront of icons and statues and you call it "Mary Worship"Well I imagine there is a huge difference between feigning worship, worshipping as a façade or for show, or worshipping some other god but calling it the true God...
and...
worshipping something other than the true God straight up.
I don't see how your example explains your position. Can you elaborate on it?
Ba'al was a pagan god, Ba'al means "Lord" but we call our God "Lord" as well? did we take that from the pagans?I see this as the same as the old testement account of the queen of heaven which is a title that man has given to Mary and not God
