Delchiante, you've made an important point, that only God should be served as God. The kind of "serving" we are forbidden to do, is to serve somebdy else "as God."

However, we are also expected, even commanded to serve others, in other ways:

1 Peter 4:10
"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received."

Galatians 5:13
"For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another."

Thus we are not forbidden to serve others, we are forbidden to put anyone above God.

To adore someone else wold be going too far. Tha is idolatry.

She doesn’t say adore me... she says SERVE ME... And if you do, I promises you stuff...
that is a lie from the pit of hell...
