God tells Moses that incense is for use everlasting, for all generations.
With incense in worship (a) sanctioned by God, (b) used in Old Testament times, (c) at the time of Christ, (d) in heaven, and (e) for use in perpetuity, who then can deny its role in proper worship today?
Sacrilegious ceremonies that mimic valid practices do not invalidate the valid practice. Instead, the invalid practice mocks God, taking what rightfully belongs to God and putting it to unholy uses.
