The protocol of honour is one of the mysteries of the kingdom that gives you access to possibilities in God that reside in men.

Men are carriers and conduits of diverse possibilities in our God that reveal His omniscience and omnipotence, hence we must know men by the Spirit and not according to the flesh as Paul the apostle rightly said.
But when this principle of honouring men is taken beyond limit, it becomes a tool of Idolatry, and the Christians of my generation must be watchful of this extreme.
