For those who believe the KJV is THE perfect, THE only correct inspired English translation, do you still worship your dinner guests?
Luke 14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
or
When was the last time you called someone 'Raca'?
Matt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Remember if the KJV is perfect, you must believe exactly what it says.
According to trinitarians, worship has only 1 meaning. Thus according to trinitarians it doesn't mean 'approval'.
2nd Raca is a Greek word, the translators of the KJV didn't know what the Greek word meant so they left the Greek word in the English translation.
If the KJV is so perfect, why didn't they know what the Greek word 'Raca' mean?
@Believeth:
I agree the parable is talking about humility, but that doesn't change the fact that the KJV states we must worship our dinner guests.
Why because, 'trinitarians' state the word worship can mean only one thing.2nd, I agree TODAY we know Raca means 'empty ones' but the translators of the KJV didn't know that.

In years gone by some words were used differently from how we now use them. In the verse quoted in the question I'd say it is obvious that 'worship' means exactly the same as what we now mean by the word 'respect'.

Luke 14:10 is a parable and is not stating that you "worship your dinner guests". It is stating that you should be humble as stated in verse 11.
In Matt 5:22 the word "Raca" comes from the Chaldee and means O empty one, i.e. thou worthless. It shows that you are judging someone as being no good and that they are not worth living. Yes, you are right and I do believe exactly what the Word of God states. The KJV is a good translation and if one uses a Strong's Concordance to check the original meaning of a word in the Greek or Hebrew this will allow someone to understand what the actual true thought that is being put forth.

Worship in that context is approval. That doesn't mean what you mockingly think, since you obviously don't understand context. And raca is a word not used in modern vernacular. That doesn't matter. The King James Bible is 100% perfect.

All I will say is that anyone who reads those passages and determines that it’s central purpose was instruction on meal etiquette has bigger problems.

The KJV is perfect for a doorstop, a weight for gluing things, a BB gun backstop, and a wheel chock for when working on the car. Yeah, baby!

What ((("FOOL"))) (Matthew 5:22) believes ANY "Bible" is PERFECT;
When GOD SAID "Men are evil continuously" (Genesis 6:5)
Who would (((ADD))) and (((TAKE AWAY))) from His Word (Revelation 22:18-19)?
"As if there is NO GOD" (Psalm 14:1) Who SAID IT (Psalm 9:17; Isaiah 55:11)?
"FOOL" (Matthew 5:22)!
Therefore since I give the Word of God to "Prove my ministry" (II Timothy 4:5) and "...shall be in danger of hell fire" (Matthew 5:22)
"By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” (Romans 3:4)!
