It is no more worship of idols than kissing your mother or grandpa.
Nonsense. This sounds like a catholicanswers.com apologetic.
Do you pray to your mom?
Rely upon her for salvation?
Burn incense in her presence?
Light candles in her honor?
Kneel before her?
I could go on but you get the idea.
Chapter and verse??
“It is no more worship of idols than kissing your mother or grandpa.”
Are you really serious?
Do you pray to, ask for divine favors, or bow to your mother or grandpa?
