Good point. In Acts 14, when the people in Lystra thought Barnabas and Paul were gods and wanted to worship them, why didn't they take the opportunity to preach the high peak truth? - "You people are wrong. You should not worship me. But you are half right. We are no Zeus or Hermes, but we are men becoming God in live and in nature but not in the Godhead."
Instead, their reply was "Men, why are you doing these things?
We also are men of like feeling as you, and announce the gospel to you that you should turn from
these vain things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them;..." (Acts 14:15)
