The word that curses you rcc's every time is the word serve, but you ignore that command and play the word games of worship. Greek doulia; Latin servitus, a theological term signifying the honour paid to the saints, while latria means worship given to God alone, and hyperdulia the veneration offered to the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Augustine (City of God X.2) distinguishes two kinds of servitus: "one which is due to men . . . which in Greek is called dulia; the other, latria, which is the service pertaining to the worship of God". http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05188b.htm “Greek doulia; Latin servitus, a theological term signifying the honour paid to the saints,” As noted by the definition below Greek-doulia/Latin-servitude is NOT honor paid, but servitude to the point of bondage and slavery. If you are a slave or in bondage or in Mary’s case hyper bondage then that is your master for a person can't have to masters. Matthew 6:24 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 24 No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. While this verse is referring specifically to money to understand the big picture of the verse is to understand that it is saying that you can't serve to masters in anything. Holy Scripture tells us that our ONLY bondage should be in God through Christ Jesus all other bondage leads to death. You shall serve the Lord your God ONLY and no other! Romans 6:16 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice. 1397.

Galatians 4:21-31 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise. 24 Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar: 25 For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother. 27 For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now. 30 But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. 31 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free. Jesus Christ brought us out of slavery according to the promise. To live in slavery to creatures is bondage and all those in bondage will be cast into the lake of fire.
