Those definitions, or the ideas they imply, are no where hinted at in God’s word. Add all you want to it - the penalty for doing so is laid down.

Er... friend, nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Bible is to be the only source of salvific truth. Your embrace of "sola scriptura" (an invention of men) leaves you with two problems: you're left believing something which is self-contradictory (which is illogical and foolish, to say the least), and it means that you (in the tradition of Luther, et al.) are adding to God's Written Word... and, according to your interpretation, the penalty for doing so is laid down, yes?

Not so. Please read #111 and then get back to me. God's Word is rich with many, many examples of adoration (= latria, given to God alone) and honor (= dulia, given to angels, kings, queens, prophets, priests, military commanders, judges, fathers, mothers, brothers etc.)
