Idolize NO man (or woman). Sports star, Military man, or politician.
Well said. Honor is destructive, VERY destructive. Here is what Jesus said about it.
John 5:41 (KJV) I receive not honour from men.
John 5:41 (LEB) “I do not accept glory from people,
John 5:41 (NASB) I do not receive glory from men;
Of course, this plainly shows what our attitude is supposed to be about receiving from OR giving glory to any man/woman.
Another word for glory is adoration. Just something to think about. Of course, voting is glorifying someone, isn't it. Does not work so well either, you may have noticed.
"The difference between an honorable man and a moral man is that the honorable man regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked and he is in no danger of being caught." ~ H.L. Mencken
There is nothing discreditable about a sense of honor. You are using the wrong definition of the word in your quotes. There are "honors" which are accolades both formal and informal and then there is honor as in a sense of right and creditable behavior. The two are NOT the same thing.
With honor there is dignity and respect as offered to a man, or woman, for leading a life of honesty and in adherence to the "Golden Rule". A sense of honor is to live to a code of behavior which places right behavior above all other considerations. Jesus was an honorable man who cared nothing about "honors".
