I’ve been to many protestant churchs been member to many kinds as well..
sure looks like worship to me.. basic idolotry it is.. much like RCC does with statues and orders and ceremony and other stuff.... of course all deny their worship is worship.. but it is..
I know what worship actually is.. can’t fool me...”

Sure. I understand.

Been to many places where people look upon Holy Communion as “ritual cannibalism.” Those who actually follow the ritual will, of course, deny that what they practice can be, in any way, accurately described as “ritual cannibalism,” but those who accuse Christians of the practice know what Holy Communion actually is.

Can’t fool them.

Metaphor goes right over the head of some folks..
Some actually believe Jesus nicknamed Cephas “the ROCK”(petras/peter)...
They miss the message but hear the words..

Most of the base of Semitic languages are composed of metaphor.. i.e hebrew.. aramaic
You miss the metaphors you miss “the Point”.. even greek is metaphor rich..

Like: the passover lamb metaphor at the last supper(passover).. goes right over the head of most.. You can hear with your spirit or you can hear with your ears.. A homily on beautiful ears and puny spirits is in order..
