So the worship of them is based on this?

I think not.

Exodus 25:18-19 Make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At its two ends, make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat.

Nothin’ there about worship.

2 Kings 13: 20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to come into the land in the spring of the year. 21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a raiding party, so they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. When he touched Elisha’s bones, the man revived and stood up!

Nothing there about worship. (And if you find Elisha's bones let me know. There is certainly nothing there normative about the Christian life.)

Acts 19:11-12
Demonism Defeated at Ephesus
11 God was performing extraordinary miracles by Paul’s hands, 12 so that even facecloths or work aprons[a] that had touched his skin were brought to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

Have any thing touched by Paul? I thought not.

All quaint Roman Catholic superstition bordering on damnable heresy.

Worship? No. Veneration? Perhaps.

Simple question: Did Jesus have to die on the Cross? I ask this simply because people seem to go so far in discounting the physical, fleshy part of living that I think they forget we were sanctified through a real, physical, fleshy sacrifice. No blood, no covenant.

Neither is there in my post.
