"Anyone that you pray to you worship."

Ah. There’s your problem. Please understand that the Bible uses “to pray” meaning “to ask earnestly.”

Lamentations 1:18 "Hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow...”

Micah 3:1I "He said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel...”

Genesis 50:17 “So shall you say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brothers...”

Numbers 16:26 "And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men...”

Now you can see that, Biblically, prayer does not mean worship. It only implies adoration when it is directed to God.

There is only One God. We all know that.

.
But we are not permitted to even attempt to ask anything of the dead. We are to ask all things of the Father only.
