If it is regarded as "a Holy Relic" then it is revered and worshipped.

FALSE.

"Reverence" and "Worship" are not the same thing.

Relics are not worshiped.

Holiness is in the spirit, not the body or the physical.

Stuff and nonsense. The Son of God Himself took on human nature, really and truly. If the physical was not sanctified before then, it certainly was after.

"Reverence" and "Worship" are not the same thing.

Worship: n. reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred.

Worship: v. to render religious reverence and homage to.

You were saying...
