Venerate

iannassah · Jun 9, 2007

Venerate comes from Latin veneratus, past participle of venerari, "to revere, to respect, to worship," from venus, vener-, "charm, loveliness."

"And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt." Jeremiah 25:6

Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'"

And I do not see in scripture where we are to do this to people that although walked with Christ it is Christ we are to honor. For it was indeed Christ in them that inabled them to even walk with HIm..

Excellent post Iannassah and Iamadopted!!
The only one that is to be worshipped is The Lord Himself! Excellent post Iannassah! Good way to make a great point!

Paul tells us to imitate the faith of our leaders -- imitation is the highest form of flattery, is it not?

Yup and who did Paul imitate.. Christ.. We don't see Christ venerating anyone but the Father..

Amen!

i dont see your point. why would Christ venerate someone who imitates Himself? we venerate ppl not for imitating ourselves, but for imitating Christ ...

malckiah · Jun 9, 2007

We are not to venerate anyone, but The Lord Himself!
Keep in mind....venerate means to worship.

And since Christ was Pauls example and who He imitated and the list goes down the line We would all be imitating Christ and He only venerated His Father..

well since Paul tells us to imitate him ... yes of course it all goes back to God, but there are links along the way, such as Paul telling us to imitate himself, which is an imitation of Christ.

that is not true. theres no point in telling us they are the same when we know they are not. in my heart there is worship for no one but God, but there is love for all His saints.

Venerate is worship. It is a latin word. No where in scripture are we told to venerate anyone but God..

So?

Where in the Bible does it say to completely cast out and ignore those who have walked with God? Where in the Bible does it say to call the Theotokos a harlot?

no where in the Scripture are we told that we are confined by Scripture.

Well all that is written is what God will judge His people on..For God does not contradict Himself.. Gods word was written for a purpose that those who call on the name of the Lord could know His heart and thoughts. So that we may be made in His image.. Jesus sure wasn't to keen on people doing what tradtion said nullifying what was written.. He always was drawing people back to it is written.. So if the bible says not to and we do it anyway does this make it right or wrong?

who in their right mind would ever call Mary such a name? Who would even think of such a thing? Mary was a married woman and lived a Godly life.. We can see this by the scripture we read.. Who is casting her out? She is at home with her King and Lord.. For her salvation was in the same King as all Christians..

Actually, it is only one of its meanings, or did you only read the bolded bit of the definition in the OP.

While watching the final set of a tennis match on the TV set, my wife set the dinner set down on the table just as one of the players set upon the judge for calling his ball out. He had done it before so he seems set in his ways.

Try and interpret that using only one of the many meanings of of the word "set"
