(a) that’s a reach. Worship is worship. Worship is bowing down to something, giving praises to it (”hail thing” etc). That is what worship IS. To try and redfine worship as what you believe is disingenuous.

(b) I would say to not recognize the Bible as the work of God is quite possibly to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

You are on the verge of idolatry, then.

The Bible is the work of MAN.

The Catholic Church was the first Publisher of the first Bible.

Editing and publishing, what Books to include, which “scripture” to exclude, was based on Catholic TRADITION and the understanding of the Early Church Fathers, who were all CATHOLIC (Universal).

Yes, the Bible was inspired by God, but the Bible is the work of MAN, and is far from perfect in translation.

I will go further:

For any one person to claim a perfect understanding of the Bible or of the Faith, in all matters, for any one person to claim to have a perfect understanding of Christian history and belief, is arrogant and is of the same type of arrogance that Jesus condemned, in the Pharisees!
