No, I did not imply that. My point was that I think Apostolics spend WAY too much time focusing on "other than God", rather than on God. To this day I do not understand the thinking that says that devotion to another somehow glorifies God. Why not just have devotion to God? Isn't the Bible absolutely clear that God does NOT WANT us to have devotion to any but Him? Does your interpretation of scripture tell you to devote yourself to Mary or other Saints, etc.?
Religious pride (which is still pride) is alive and well, FK. At times it seems it has never been better, especially after the Reformation.
Naturally, we see that religious pride predominates in the faith that glorifies men when it is proper to glorify God. Your side accuses us of pride for not following MEN. That is ridiculous. :) We give ALL glory to God, and you accuse US of pride??? It is your side that glorifies men at the expense of God. That is what I call pride.

Amen, FK. Good responses.
To God be the glory, not man, never man.
