FRiend, Kevmo, I understand your argument, and sincerely encourage you to believe what you've been taught about this.
Please don't think I'm hoping to "talk you out of" your faith, I'm not.
I'm only suggesting there's another way to look at it, and historically many people have, including our Founding Fathers.
So I turn to my Harper's Bible Dictionary, copyright 1985, and look up the word "worship".
The concept of worship is expressed by the term "serve".
In general, the worship given to God was modeled after the service given to human sovereigns..."
In other words, in the Old Testament, the term "worship" can refer to the service and reverence people give to their political rulers.
And since Daniel is Old Testament, I take this to mean that a "son of man" (a human being) will be appointed by God to rule over and be "worshiped" by people everywhere.
Of course, Kevmo, you are free to believe as you wish, but my "thing" is history, and Old Testament history tells me that when people bowed down to their king, that was called "worshiping".
I’m only suggesting there’s another way to look at it,
***Scripture twisting, heretic style. Your view of ‘worship’ is “horsesheeit”.
