The question at hand was whether one can say without doubt that a person is "worshiping": (by which we mean, offering adoration, in contrast to "venerating," offering high respect/honor)) when they bow, kneel, or genuflect. I have demonstrated that bowing does not necessarily mean adoring.
Biblically, just jotting down examples, it appears that bowing more often means veneration or honor or respect, than adoration. It as certainly understood that way in Biblical culture, depending on context. But you can count up the instances yourself.
Disingenuous is not meant for you specifically. I’ve seen the same argument from Catholics on these forums and they just don’t hold water.
Catholics bow to idols/statues of Mary.
Catholics pray to Mary while kneeling before these idols/statues.
Catholics call Mary Co-Redemtrix, Mediatrix and Advocate which is putting Mary on the same level as Christ Who the Word records is our ONLY Redeemer, Mediator and Advocate (Holy Spirit is also called Advocate).
Catholics believe apparitions claiming to be Mary have appeared and heed the advice given by these apparitions including:
wearing an article of clothing to guarantee salvation
building shrines in the apparitions honor
Catholics have given Mary titles not found in the Word including, but not limited to:
Queen of Heaven
Mother of God
Cause of our salvation
Most Holy
Most Pure
Queen of All Saints
Queen of Prophets
Queen of Apostles
Queen of Patriarchs
Refuge of Sinners
Of the known times the pope has spoken ex cathedra he has declared Mary to be Assumed into Heaven under the titles "Our Lady of Assumption" and "Queen Assumed into Heaven" though there is no evidence for this.
This is why Christians say catholics worship Mary.
I hear YA!
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
