“Didn’t you say that you worship the Word of God?

Well, technically you didn’t; you merely posted this tripe to my posting to another FReeper who claimed that Christians only had one book - the Word of God in http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2657209/posts?page=2990#2979. John 1 makes it plain. The Word of God is Jesus; the word of God is the Bible. We worship the Word; we venerate the word.

Why not open the book that you thump and actually read it?”

Hmm. You “venerate’ the word (scripture) — so you pray to it? Veneration is worship — funny you accuse me of what you claim you DO. Wow. Don’t Roman Catholics “venerate” Mary? I’ve seen lots and LOTS of posts that are prayers to her!

You know, it’s more than sad when someone has to basically twist meanings to try to make a point that really isn’t making a point — and then out themselves as doing what I’m being accused of!

RIOT!!!!

Veneration is not worship. Which corner of the swamp did you learn that in?

Since veneration is not worship, what are you doing?
