[[Sure they do.. They do it even while denying that they do it..
They rationalize the word “worship”..]]

so now we’re into arbitrary definitions of words? The word worship means just that- worship- to devote your life to somethign or someone- We Christians do not worship the bible, do not sacrifice to it, don’t burn incense to it etc- Your insinuations are not so subtle- if you think I ‘worship’ the bible while ‘rationalizing the word worship awasy’ just come out and state so isntead of beating aroudn hte bush-

I’ve been in many threads where Christians are accused of making idols of this that or the other thing, and of supposedly practicing cult worship because the celebrate thigns liek Christmas with trees, stockigns etc, and htis is pure crap- Again- we do NOT bow down to hte tree- don’t sacrifice to the tree, nor do we call it god and certainly don’t fashion hte tree after a god0 those i nthe ibble who DID worship false gods did so in obvious cult worship manner- making idols which they sacrificed to-

You are apparently equating revering God’s word as God’s word with cult worship, and htis is rediculous- but if that’s how you think- then whatever- apparently, those who put hteir trust in God’s word, along with trust in the Holy Spirit, in your mind, isntead of simply relying solely on the Holy Spirit, and beleiving hte word of God is nothing more than a ‘good book’ apparently written by ‘good people’ who happened ot walk with Christ, who may or may not have existed, depending on a person’s subjective view of ‘biblical stories’, can’t be ‘true Christians, and are ‘worshipping false gods’- whatever- Talk about ‘rationalizing’

I said nothing about you.. Just commenting on people I know and have known.. what appears to me to be so.. They would'nt use the worship themselves, but I do.. after close dealings with them..

My opinion cannot be stolen... I watch it pretty close..
