i have been in churches have seen many more pictures of the inside of churches .its not uncommon to find a large "T" on the wall that the whole assembly pay's ohmage to .some have a statue of a woman ,Mary . some have statues of Jesus . one should only expect to find such things in pagan places of worship .
perhaps you remember reading theses words
4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be enticed to serve them, .....
its a fairly simple law to fallow
cataway you are very mixed up!
Moses made a Brass Snake and placed it on a pole! The Jews had statues of Angels in their "Holy of Hollies!"
“You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down to them or serve them” (Ex. 20:4–5).
&
“And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two gold statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be” (Ex. 25:18–20).
God does NOT want people to worship graven images! He is NOT against pictures of loved ones! He is NOT offended by statues! He rejects Worship of them!
cataway Acts of affection are not adoration. Bowing to a image of Jesus is NOT worshipping the Image! The Image is used as any picture of a loved one is used.: To help the mind remember! Catholics do NOT worship Mary we "Honor our Mother" as Commanded! Worship is ONLY for God!
cataway Scriptures are very clear... From the moment this Prophesy was made Catholics have Honored Mary as Blessed!
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
cataway Catholic's are IN Mary' generations because we are IN Her Son; Jesus! Mary is My Mother because Jesus is my Brother! JESUS.....
cataway Jesus honors Mary because he MUST Honor his mother.. It is a Commandment... "Honor your father AND Mother"! Catholics HONOR Mary, we do NOT worship Mary! For two Thousand years Catholic have fulfilled this Prophesy The "FROM NOW ON" (above) can only mean Catholics; we have a history that goes back 2000 years... NOT you or your man made church that rejects Jesus and twists God' holy word!!
cataway Fact is...You are In Communion with symbolic flesh of Jesus! The root word for Communion is "Communication"! To be in Communication with your symbolic flesh and blood is called; Idolatry!
Fact is: To deny brood transfusion to save the life of children is "Child Sacrifice in God' name!" God abhors Child Sacrifice; Satan must be ticked pink when he has his FOLLERS offer up their children to God in God' name!
