>>blessed art thou among women.
>>Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
>>for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
so we are supposed to worship people, pray to them and make them advocates before Christ, if they are simply blessed ?
Where does this precedent come from?
Is it not God who graces these people? Why are you worshipping the creation instead of the creator?
That's idolatry
Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female. (Deuteronomy 4:15-16).
When Aaron made a golden calf for the Israelites, the golden calf represented Yahweh (translated, "the LORD" in the NKJV), the true God. The Israelites identified this golden calf as the God who brought them out of the land of Egypt (Exodus 32:4), which was Yahweh (Exodus 3:14-17).
And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD." (Exodus 32:5).
God's response to the Israelites idolatry was severe anger (Exodus 32:7-35).
