While on rare occasions men of God received the obeisance of bowing down by brethren, yet never in the NT, nowhere does any believer bow in praise and and pray to such in Heaven, as if they could we heavenly intercessors btwn God and man, which only Christ is stated to be, (1Tim 2:5; Heb. 11:25) and could hear virtually infinite amounts of prayer
As said before, one would have a hard time in Bible times explaining kneeling before a statue and praising the entity it represented in the unseen world, and as having Divine powers and glory, and making offerings and beseeching such for Heavenly help, directly accessed by mental prayer.
Moses, put down those rocks! I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?
