I never understood this criticism. How are some people so incapable of comprehending that there can be more than one level of honor?
They say Mary is sinless since her own conception (when Mary was in her own mother's womb). And they marvel that the Mother of God would come to them. When they sin they pray to the Mother of Mercy. What "level" of honor is this? None of the above was in the bible BTW.
I mean sure you can call anything honor. But at what point does the "level" of honor become so high that it becomes worship? I guess we can all argue that no one can define honor and no one can define worship.
So when I work 12 hours a day and keep all that money to myself, I can argue that I am not worshiping money. I am only honoring money.
If I spent $40k a year buying every Taylor Swift CD and flying to watch her every concert, while not donating a penny to the poor, nor even giving any money to support my own family, I can argue that I am not worshiping Taylor Swift. I am only honoring her.
Even if I am literally worshiping Baal, even sacrificing my own child to Baal, I can argue that I am not worshiping Baal. I am only honoring Baal, and honoring Baal requires child sacrifice.
Remember that you can't define what is honor and what is worship. It is not up to you. From what I understand from the bible I am only honoring money, Taylor Swift and Baal. I am still worshiping no one but God. So I am still a Christian.
Would you believe my story? Of course not! I was just looking for excuses to do whatever sin I want.
I do not say this to offend anyone. I just want you to understand what it seems like to me.
