I don’t know whether there I’d any Greek word which exactly maps onto the English word “veneration “. My guess is it would be “dulia”.
Even if there is no word in Greek which exactly corresponds to “veneration”, the customs and concept of veneration are richly illustrated esp in the OT. There are dozens of examples, for instance of people bowing genuflecting and/or prostrating in veneration, not adoration.
Abigail prostrating to King David: veneration or adoration?
Submission, but we understand why you would ignore that and try to twist the meanings.
BTW, you will find the same submission with Ruth (a Moabitess) to Boaz.
Wrong question. Here are the questions:
Did Abigail offer any sacrifice to David?
Did she pray to David for her salvation? And please, let's not play the "Pray tell me..." game.
Did she make an idol of David and pray to it?
You might want to check out the cause of Solomon's fall. 1 Kings 11:4-8.
You continue to try to equate the examples you post with what Catholics do with Mary and the two aren't even close.
No where do we have the OT people such as Abigail relying upon another created being for their salvation as catholics do Mary nor praying to that created being...unless it's a false god such as Baal.
But let's stay with the NT for now as that's the New Covenant.
And again in the NT we have NO example of people praying to a created being nor relying upon said created being for their salvation other than the false gods/goddesses.
