You can't take a Latin word and it's intended meaning when it was written and change the meaning. If you want to mean something different use a different word. It the same with the Latria and dulia words they use.
Latria - the highest form of veneration or worship.
Dulia - from Greek douleia slavery, from doulos slave
So they claim to be slaves of Mary and their so called saints. But scripture says:
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I wouldn't be playing word games with God.
Nope. Veneration means deep respect. In English it is different than worship.
I will continue to trust my eyes. If what someone is doing walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.
