just another non-apology ...
Just another vapid response. No refutation on the theme, just another knee-jerk attempt to change the thread. Even Peter tries to focus on Christ, not His mother or some other substitute for the "Real Thing"! We certainly see nothing in Scripture to support bowing or praying to dead people, but quite the opposite!
2 Peter 1: 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 6: 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
17 Therefore,
Come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.
18 And,
I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.
