I now see at least a few other people are calling your logic flawed.If what you say is logical, you should be able to explain your premises, and prove them. You have to make them concrete, not wishy washy.

I often point this out when refuting the idea that Jesus was worshiped, and hence believed to be “God Almighty” based on that misunderstanding.But, however you decide to translate proskyneo, the Bible itself does not say to “worship” Mary.It says to worship God.As well, the…[Read more]
