How much clearer does Scripture have to be to tell you that is one drastic mistake?
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield...The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence." -- Psalms 115:1-9;17"Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
"And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing." -- 2 Kings 17:11-12
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God." -- 1 Peter 1:18-21"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
"Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods." -- Psalms 97:7
They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand." -- Isaiah 44:17-18"And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
We do not worship icons or statues. We worship only God. We ask saints for intercessional prayers on our behalf the way we ask the same from our brethren on earth. We believe that the saints are alive in heaven, that life does not end with physical death, that the saved are with God and offer their prayers on our behalf. Asking someone to pray for you is not the same as worshiping God.
