Merry100:
The only honour our Lord Jesus Christ refuses is the honour of hypocrites.
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
John 5: 23, 41, 42
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
And according to the passage where you pulled that one verse from, Hypocrites are those who
1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus. They came from Jerusalem and asked him,
2 “Why do your followers not obey the traditions we have from our great leaders who lived long ago? Your followers don’t wash their hands before they eat!”
3 Jesus answered, “And why do you refuse to obey God’s command so that you can follow those traditions you have?
4 God said, ‘You must respect your father and mother.’[a] And God also said, ‘Whoever says anything bad to their father or mother must be killed.’
5 But you teach that a person can say to their father or mother, ‘I have something I could use to help you. But I will not use it for you. I will give it to God.’
6 You are teaching them not to respect their father. So you are teaching that it is not important to do what God said. You think it is more important to follow those traditions you have.
7 You are hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he spoke for God about you:
8 These people honor me with their words, but I am not really important to them.
9 Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are only human rules.’” - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 9
■ do not obey God's Commandments and also teach people not to follow God's commandments
■ teach lies — doctrines and traditions of men — in place of God's commandments and teachings
■ honor God with their words but their deeds do not reflect God's very commandments and teachings
■ do not consider God of importance in their hearts even though they lace everything they say with the many mentions of the name of God.

Clearly, Jesus Christ does not receive Honor from those who engage in activities that are not in obedience to His Teachings and commandments, just as He made clear in John 14 vs 15 - 23. undecided
