Are you aware that there are other people in the Bible also who are worshiped?
Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her, and bowed [shachah, proskuneo, also translated worship, meaning bow down] himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
1 Kings 2:19
Is Bathsheba also God?
So you really think that God approves of the worship of people or people with higher rank? When Bathsheba died did they keep worshiping her? No to both questions. I don't think so. When Cornelius met the apostle Peter and fell at his feet and worshiped him. It says at Acts 10:25, 26
- But Peter raised him up, saying, 'Stand up; I too am just a man'" (NASB).
- Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'" Matt 4:10, NASB
You are trying to quate people who were called gods with Jesus the son of God. God did not ever say to worship any person. But he told the angle s to worship Jesus at Heb 1:6
- And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
So, if I ask something from you, does it mean I pray you?
If I'm dead or in heaven, yes it does. Any request made of a dead person is a prayer.
