Contradiction with 1 Samuel 2:30
This verse states that those who honor God will be honored, which may not directly contradict Psalms 99:5, but implies a reciprocity that contrasts with the act of solely exalting God’s holiness.
1 Samuel 2:30: Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:9
This verse teaches believers to pray, "Hallowed be thy name," focusing on reverence rather than exaltation at the physical "footstool."
Matthew 6:9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Contradiction with Isaiah 66:1
This verse describes heaven as God's throne and earth as His footstool, which could suggest a broader context for worship than just bowing at the tangible footstool.
Isaiah 66:1: Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
Contradiction with Romans 1:25
This verse warns against worshipping the creation rather than the Creator, contrasting the act of worshipping at a footstool, which is a part of creation.
Romans 1:25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [more: or, rather]
Contradiction with Colossians 2:18
This warns against the worship of angels, showing that worship and exaltation should be carefully discerned beyond tangible symbols like a footstool.
Colossians 2:18: Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, [beguile...: or, judge against you] [in a...: Gr. being a voluntary in humility]
