Much is said about the way Catholics adorn their churches with images, and many believe that it is an act of idolatry. Do Catholics worship false gods? What can we say about images and statues in worship?

Romanism essentially does worship dead saints as gods. Prayer to any human, dead or alive, is a form of worship, as only the Lord can receive prayers. Not even angels can do that. See Revelation, where John bows to a holy angel, but us told to worship God alone.

@TIJoe-te9qu Год назад
@@kirikoucortex7042 No, I did listen, and I had early exposure to Romanism, so I do have a place of reference. No matter what semantics are used, the truth is that Romanist theology requires worship of humans, dead and alive. This is because prayers are only to be made to the Godhead, not to angels, dead humans, or ones thought to be alive in heaven, including Mother Mary, who is likely asleep awaiting resurrection like most saints. To address prayers to humans is to ascribe godlike status to them, which is worship, especially if the belief that they're even conscious is based upon folklore and tradition, not the Bible. See, even if you're praying WITH them, you don't know if they're even conscious, unless its someone like Enoch or Elijah who was translated directly to eternity. Most others experience the unconscious sleep that David and Solomon described, "resting with their fathers" until the resurrection day. Regardless, consider the rosary (which is an adaptation of pagan beads). All those Hail Marys, 10 to each prayer to the Father, are direct prayers TO Mary, as the "queen of heaven" (another pagan adaptation from Semiramis, the pagan queen of heaven, that idolaters in the Bible baked cakes for), and as an " intercessor." No place in the Bible is Mary prayed to. And the other saints are prayed TO also for special purposes, though most of them are asleep. Do you know that saints are ALL Christians, not just some special heroes canonized by a mortal pope who cannot determine "sainthood?" The Catholic saints are heroes and focal points, AGAIN, to fill in for the pagan saints and gods that Catholicism included to make Catholicism also appeal to as many pagan converts as possible. ALL THE Catholic add-ons to the Bible were designed by Constantine to unify the Roman church-state by having something familiar to attract pagans with. Hence the sun symbols, purgatory, queen of heaven, indulgences, patron saints, IHS, Christ mass timed with the winter solstice, Easter timed with Ishtar the fertility festival, Lent timed with the 40 days of weeping for Tammuz (see Ezekiel), and SO many other things. Lastly, the POPE is worshipped too. Catholicism denies that, but even US presidents are required to call the pope HIS HOLINESS! His sweaty feet are kissed and people kneel before his white throne. He is called VICARIUS CHRISTI, the replacement Christ on earth! Many older Catholic quotes say that the pope is not a mere man, but as it were, another God on earth, holding upon the earth the place of God Almighty. You can look this up easily or ask a priest. I say all this not to bash, but to simply expose the truth of Romanism and where its extra-biblical content originates. If these beliefs and activities of praying to, or even "with," papal saints are not biblical, they're no better than praying to or with Santa Claus, so why bother fooling ourselves with man-made traditions? Why not just pray to God, the only one the Bible says to pray to?

Luke 17:20 "Heaven is in our midst", therefore duplicating those heavenly images and statues in the Catholic Church acknowledges that belief. If you were in Heaven and you ask an angel next to you to pray for you that is not idolatry, that is exhibiting community and unity under God. On the other hand if you ignore the angels around you and talk directly to God as if you are above them that is arrogance.

The beauty of the Catholic service is you don't have to know the language being used to follow along. The imagery tell the story as strongly as words. Every move is part of the story of the history of Christ. The Saints are examples we should strive to be like. My particular favorite is ST. Jose Sanchez del Rio. A child who was horribly tortured and could have ended the torture by renouncing Christ and didn't. It was during the Christeros war in Mexico.

@John Doe The definition of the verb "to pray"means "to ask," not “to worship”. People who say the Hail Mary do not worship Mary, any more than Gabriel did when he told Mary - “Hail full of grace” (Luke 1:28), and Elizabeth did when she said “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus”, Luke 1:42).
@joehouston2833
@joehouston2833 4 года назад
@John Doe Catholics don’t believe that Mary is a goddess. She has no power of her own. She acknowledges in Luke 1:47 that God is her Savior. However, Catholics do believe Mary when she said in Luke 1:46 that her “soul magnifies the Lord.” Mary’s soul is still very much alive, and is still magnifying the Lord, which is a very good and holy thing. Mary was chosen by God the Father to be the living tabernacle, the Holy of Holies, to contain the Word Made Flesh, Jesus. Jesus himself was obedient to her (Luke 2:51). If it's good enough for Jesus to be obedient to Mary, then it's good enough for his servants also. No servant is greater than his Master (John 13:16). Jesus said that you shall know a tree by its fruit, (Luke 6:44) and Jesus is the fruit of Mary's womb ( Luke 1:42), which means that Mary, while not divine, was certainly created and remained pure and holy, because a rotten tree cannot bear good fruit.

I grew up as a Catholic and even as a small child, when my mother used to make me go to confession, and enter a dark, small space, to confess my sins to a priest, I would question, why would I have to confess my sins, to a mere human being? When I asked this question to my mother, her reply would be "Because, the priest is in direct contact to God." What? I asked my mother "Why couldn't I just pray directly to Almighty God myself? Aren't my prayers and confession's also in direct contact with God?" Also, as a small child, I would also question, why would I have to bow down to these statues, that are just made of concrete and metal? When it clearly says in the Bible, not to do that? When I got older, I left the Catholic Religion, because I started to do my own research, by reading the Holy Scriptures and what I found out, is that what's in the Holy Bible and what the Catholic Church is teaching, is completely, false! The Catholic Church is interpreting the Bible to their own beliefs and not God's true teachings. Our God the Creator, has given his people the discernment to know what is good and evil. Even as a small child, I had the discernment to know what is against God's wishes. Don't believe what false prophets and false Religion's teach. The truth is all in the book of God's teachings.

You are badly mistaken!” I only ask that you consider it. For if Abraham was considered to be living by Jesus all those years ago then should most certainly be considered living today.

Heb.7.25 - Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

When you bow down to statues , it has gone beyond honour. Having a picture of a saint is not a bad idea, but when you draw the image of a saint you never knew, it's a different thing altogether. And when you begin to pray through the image, that's spiritism. Also, the Lord Jesus our High Priest is making intercession for us before the Throne of Grace. Are you saying He is not enough?

I have no problem with having a reminder of past saints in the form of statues. My problem is the idea that these dead people somehow have the power to guide and intercede for you when the scriptures clearly state in John 14:6, "...no one comes to The Father except through me." Why do you believe that they can when our Lord Jesus says otherwise. Why are you actively contradicting God?
@dispatcher2243

It is because you have forgotten about purgatory and pennance as a protestant. You see al christians believed that most of us were not clean enough to enter heaven duebto our sins. Nothing unclean may enter and no goes into heaven except through Jesus. So therefore when a person dies and still desires to he with God despite his sins he will then go to purgatory. A long painful attonement for thier sins. Because of thier love for God theu choose this in order to be with him. Its why we pray for those who have died and its why we ask those already in heaven to join us in prayer to God. Protestants have forgotten so much of what Christianity is that they no longer can understand the scripture. It is why the church has designayed personell to be the authorities on these matters. To avoid the comfusion and loss of knowledge of the church that Christs apostles themsleves set forth. You can see in thier letters to corinthians and ephisians and theslonians stories of them correcting incorrect behaviour in various cultures. So we do believe no one comes to the father accept tbeough Jesus. But we believe Jesus was reffering to the entry of heaven. Henceforth Jesus's intercetion for our sins. Dying to save us. Not that i cannot ask y9u or any of my other brothers and sisters in christ to pray for me. If i asked you to pray for would scoff at me and tell me to go to Jesus instead? ​@@kwekuakoni-ampah945

I don’t buy the explanation of praying to the saints as the same as asking a friend to pray for you. A friend is asked directly, one doesn’t pray to said friend to beseech them to intervene with God on your behalf. As it seems to be accepted that the saints Catholics are praying to have died, how does this not contravene the commands not to converse with the dead? Remembering saints as motivational examples of behaviour is one thing. Actively praying to them still seems very much like a heresy.

@@trying-to-learn That is hardly a historical argument. There were over 300 bishops in that council. To call them all "heretics" is a serious slander; one that you cannot historically, nor theologically, defend outside the mere assertions of the Catholic church. The universal authority of the Bishop of Rome was not accepted at that time. The East and West schism of 1054 demonstrates that very clearly. Councils had been convened throughout history, in various provinces to declare their beliefs. Many of those councils are accepted by the Catholic church, even though the Bishop of Rome was not invited. The reason Rome rejects this one, is because it doesn't like the council's conclusions. I would also add, both of these councils occurred over 700 years before the Reformation. The objection to the use of idols is not just a "protestant" issue.

Very true , we should not be enemies neither we should be enemies of truth and God Himeself by indulging in what God did not command. Loving each other includes advising, rebuking and warning of the dangers of sin, Revelation 3:19, Ezekiel 3:17-19. James 5:20 . Proverbs 15:10 and12 teaches that we should be lovers of advices. Someone who warns me that the dangers of smoking and beer drinking is that my lungs gets damaged as well as burning my mucus lining. This one is more lovely and friendly and brotherly than someone who keeps quite for fearof creating enemity. If an adivise is not pleasant to someone because it blocks them from there evil act, they become enemies of that advise and in fact view the adviser as such . 1 Kings 18:17-18"" King Ahab viewed Elijah as a troublemaker and an enemy, little did he know that he himself(Ahab) was evil but the devil blinded the king not to realise his sins. Instead , the devil turned the king's mkind to look at Elijah, God's true prophet as evil. The same Ahab, hated Miciah, another prophet , 1kings 22:8 , for speaking out his evil. The reason of these rebukes was for him to repent, which he did not want to. The same with some other brothers and sisters who do not want to part ways with evil ways view the advisers as: 1)enemies (2) violaters of their rights etc. But blessed is the one that God rebukes , Proverbs 1:23. Danger when one ignores in anyway , Proverbs 1:29-32.

Christ, the head of the body, rules the church (Colossians 1:18). God has entrusted revelation to the saints (Jude 3). God alone is infallible (Numbers 23:19; Acts 17:11). Scripture alone is the Word of God (John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21; Mark 7:1-13). Christ alone is the Redeemer, for He alone suffered and died for sin (1 Peter 1:18,19). Christ Jesus is the one mediator to whom we can entrust all our cares and petitions (1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:13,14; 1 Peter 5:7). Justification is by faith alone (Romans 3:28). God justifies ungodly sinners who believe (Romans 4:5). Good works are the result of salvation, not the cause (Ephesians 2:8-10). Grace is a free gift (Romans 11:6). Salvation is attained by grace through faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:10). The believer can know that he or she has eternal life by the Word of God and the testimony of the Holy Spirit who indwells believers(1 John 5:13; Romans 8:16). There is salvation in no one but the Lord Jesus Christ, “for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The bread and wine are symbols of the body and blood of Christ, and He is bodily present in heaven (1 Corinthians 11:23-25; Hebrews 10:12,13). (Symbols--NOT literal). The sacrifice of the cross is finished (John 19:30). The once-for-all sacrifice of the cross fully appeased God's wrath against sin (Hebrews 10:12-18). The sacrificial work of redemption was finished when Christ gave His life for us on the cross (Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 1:3).

It comes down to if one follows Christ or a manmade doctrine. What does the bible say about Mary and Joseph? Catholics say she remained a virgin, is in heaven in the flesh, is a queen and remained sinless. This is all idol worship and non-biblical. Mat 1:25 tells us Mary and Joseph consummated the marriage after Christ was born. There are about a dozen scriptures speaking of Christ's siblings in about 7 different books. The bible tells us when we die we return to the earth. The bible also tells us "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Mary and Joseph were also told to go to the temple and make a sacrifice as they were unclean. Mary also thought Christ "was out of His mind" which was a disbelief He was the Son of God. The catholic church has hundreds of prayers to Mary with many of them being nothing less than idol worship, not to mention contacting the dead. Follow Christ, as he said, "I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me."

I think one reason Protestants find it so hard to accept that we aren't worshipping statues is because their definition of "worship" is praising God, talking to and about God, and singing songs to God. But look at the first commandment. You are supposed to worship ONLY God. I could easily put a toddler in this category. I praised my toddlers. I talk to and about my toddlers. I sang songs to my toddler. Protestants often see us doing these activities to saints and "Ah Ha! Gotcha! You do worship saints!" What they fail to see is that they do nothing toward God in their own services that is reserved ONLY for God. We offer a sacrifice, the sacrifice Christ provides us to offer through his death and resurrection. We offer it ONLY to God and we do so in conjunction with our the saints and angels who stand with us in worship, not as the object of worship.

Protestants just skip over vast amounts of scriptures, sometimes deliberatly, sometimes not: (Many just don't know the bible as well as they claim to) ➨CARVED IMAGES IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, INTERCESSION OF MARY AND THE SAINTS, HONOURING MARY, AND BOWING AS A SIGN OF HONOUR AND RESPECT (All copied from the protestant version of the bible by me) Sacred Images are Biblical & mocking & destroying them is a serious sin, an act of blasphemy: ➨ SACRED IMAGES: Sacred images are not idols and it is an act of blasphemy to attack them: ● EXODUS 25:18-22 God commands Moses to make STATUES of Angels. ● NUMBERS 21:8-9 God commands another image to be made, a serpent. ● EZEKIEL 41:18-25 KJV (EZEKIEL's VISION OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD ADORNED WITH CARVED IMAGES:)... 18 And it was made with CHERUBIMS (ANGELS) and PALM TREES, so that a palm tree was between a CHERUB and EVERY CHERUB HAD TWO FACES; 19 So that the FACE OF A MAN was toward the PALM TREE on the one side, and the FACE OF A LION toward the PALM TREE on the other side: it was made through all the house round about. 20 From the ground unto above the door were CHERUBIMS (ANGELS) and PALM TREES made, and on the wall of the temple. 21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. 22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord. 23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 24 And the doors had two LEAVES apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. 25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, CHERUBIMS and PALM TREES, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without. ➨ BOWING as a sign of honour / respect: ●1 KINGS 2:19 Solomon bows to his Mother. (he HONOURS Her) ● JOSHUA 7:6: 6 Joshua & the elders of Israel tore their clothing and lay prostrate (face down on the ground) before the Ark of the Lord. (an OBJECT) ➨ HONOURING MARY: ● LUKE 1:48 All generations will call Mary blessed. ➨ INTERCESSION OF MARY & THE SAINTS IN THE BIBLE: ... Including proof that saints are not among the dead The Protestant claim that we are forbidden to speak to / pray to Mary and the saints is NOWHERE in the Bible. In fact, the following scriptures were copied (by me) directly from the Protestant version of the Bible: ... ➨INTERCESSION of a holy person on our behalf: ● JOB 42:8 8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams, and GO TO MY SERVANT JOB, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and MY SERVANT Job SHALL PRAY FOR YOU, FOR I WILL ACCEPT HIS PRAYER NOT TO DEAL WITH YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FOLLY; for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. ➨INTERCESSION of MARY: JOHN 1 At the wedding feast at Cana, it was Mary who asked Jesus to help the wedding party. ➨INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS: REV 5:8 The prayers of the Saints are offered to Jesus the lamb. ➨The KING Honours his mother's request: ● 1 KINGS 2:20: Then she said, “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Make your request, my mother, for I will not refuse you.” (Jesus is the Greatest King and he also honours his mother's requests) SAINTS ALSO WORKED MIRACLES: ➨ JOHN 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. ➨ PAUL RAISES A MAN FROM THE DEAD: ACTS 20:7-12 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.20: ➨SAINTS ARE NOT AMONG THE DEAD: AND THEIR INTERCESSION IS BIBLICAL: They share in the ressurrection of Jesus: (Protestants attack Biblical saints while they follow dead reformers) ● MATTHEW 27: 52 -53: When Jesus was raised from the dead Many were raised up with him. 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. ● LUKE 23 v 39-43...Jesus told the good thief "today you will be with me in paradise" ● REV 19 v 14...when Jesus returns he will be accompanied by his heavenly armies of saints. ● 2 COR 5 v 8...Paul tells us that to be absent with the body is to be with the Lord. ● JOHN 11 v 25-26...Jesus said I am the ressurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives, believing in me will never die. ● LUKE 1619-30 The story of the rich man and Lazarus show The Rich man, Lazarus and Abraham, all concious and interacting with each other even though they have physically died. ● LUKE 9:30-31 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. (Moses & Elijah were alive, and were yalking with Jesus) ● REV 6:10 The souls of the martyrs are before the throne of God, crying out for justice. (they are conscious and actively petitioning God) ● HEB 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ● MATT 17:1-13 ...At the Transformation of Jesus, he is seen speaking to Moses and Elijah, further showing that Holy ones of God are not among the dead. ➨HONOURING MARY: LUKE 1:48: All generations will call Mary Blessed. We Catholics are the ones who call her the BLESSED Virgin Mary and treat her accordingly. ➨NOWHERE does the bible permit protestants (or anyone else) to Scrutinize & monitor the prayers of other people, nor to judge their sincerity or their salvation. Protestantism does not come from jesus. It began with Martin Luther in 1517 & exists Only to oppose the Catholic church which Jesus founded 15 centuries B4 the protestant revolt.

Proud to be a Catholic. Even tho I got closer to Jesus Christ our lord and savior was thanks to an evangelical Christian church. For years I’ve been trying to get closer to god and his glory because I was unfortunately a lost soul in the world. They gave me that push I needed. Thanks to them basically pushing me to read my Bible I understood many things. One of many was to inform myself of what I believe in and why I shouldn’t convert to their church. I came across a video here on RU-vid about the story of Jesus telling St. Peter that he shall hold the keys to the kingdom of haven and it is through his church that we as humans will be saved in a world full of sin. Maybe I’m bad at explaining many things because I am still learning and by the grace of god I will be doing my confirmation next upcoming school year. But St. Peter was actually was the first pope of the church. Therefore the Catholic Church is the way to salvation. Weather or not I’m right or wrong, what I’m certain of is that I belong to the church that Jesus himself funded through St. Peter and all those who came after him! 🙏🏼

Just because the Catholic church has an insane amount of Roman pagan rituals, customs and traditions does not make you the true church, lol.

I absolutely LOVE the art and chanting, and peacefulness of the Catholic churches I've visited and it reaches me deeply. That's me. I know some need a more exuberant expression with worship songs etc. I mean take the southern black churches! My goodness they're fun!

I’m Protestant, and I would like to point out that all branches of Christianity, all denominations, and churches have some kind of sin in them. The purpose of Church is to get sinful people closer to God and Jesus so that they might be saved from their sins. I’m sure most Christians can agree on this regardless of where they are preached to. For me, I see Catholics and I’m like “Yeah, I think that’s idolatry.” I wouldn’t personally do it, but I’m not going to judge or persecute them for it because the Bible makes it clear that God loves all of the people and animals he created equally regardless of how misguided they are. It also makes clear that it’s God’s job to judge, not ours. So yeah I will tell Catholics that maybe this stuff isn’t a good idea, but I won’t go on and on and on about it and change the way I treat them if they choose to continue doing it. Why? I believe they are a part of the primary doctrine. All you have to do is accept Jesus as your savior, ask for forgiveness from sins, believe in his power, and attempt to do better next time. I think Catholics fall under this. Thus they are a people of God too and will be saved along side us. So there’s basically no point in starting a religious war.

While on a cruise in 2015 (Cunard, a British liner), I attended mass on Sunday morning, in one of the ship’s lounges. It started off very Catholic, but I began to have my suspicions when the mass responses were different. When the priest said, “peace be with you”, the congregation responded with “and also with you”. I thought, “Hmmmm....maybe they didn’t get the memo from The Vatican because they were at sea since 2011...” The obvious and final tip-off that it wasn’t Catholic, was when there was no reference to Francis our pope during the Eucharistic prayer. There being no Catholic mass on the ship, I stayed for the rest of the service and worshipped with my Christian siblings. They did say the Hail Mary, though.

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen. Now lets look at the bible. “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭NASB‬‬ “casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭NASB‬‬ And read Jeremiah and youll see what God thinks about “queens of heaven.” Catholosicm is riddled with paganism, the Prophets never prayed to other prophets. (This is actually condemned by death in the torah.) Ive been in israel. In almost every Catholic Church theres a statue of mary. They bow before it, kiss it and bless it or whatever. If you want to tell me this isn’t idolatry then what is? The commandments literally say do not BOW to any image. The ark is an image prescribed by God and people bowed before it because Gods prescense rested on it. You cannot compare mary to Gods ark. ““You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:4‬ ‭NASB‬‬ It says no idol AND not any likeness. “You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:5‬ ‭NASB‬‬ It doesn’t just say worship, it says serve

Protestants just skip over vast amounts of scriptures, sometimes deliberatly, sometimes not: (Many just don't know the bible as well as they claim to) ➨CARVED IMAGES IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, INTERCESSION OF MARY AND THE SAINTS, HONOURING MARY, AND BOWING AS A SIGN OF HONOUR AND RESPECT (All copied from the protestant version of the bible by me) Sacred Images are Biblical & mocking & destroying them is a serious sin, an act of blasphemy: ➨ SACRED IMAGES: Sacred images are not idols and it is an act of blasphemy to attack them: ● EXODUS 25:18-22 God commands Moses to make STATUES of Angels. ● NUMBERS 21:8-9 God commands another image to be made, a serpent. ● EZEKIEL 41:18-25 KJV (EZEKIEL's VISION OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD ADORNED WITH CARVED IMAGES:)... 18 And it was made with CHERUBIMS (ANGELS) and PALM TREES, so that a palm tree was between a CHERUB and EVERY CHERUB HAD TWO FACES; 19 So that the FACE OF A MAN was toward the PALM TREE on the one side, and the FACE OF A LION toward the PALM TREE on the other side: it was made through all the house round about. 20 From the ground unto above the door were CHERUBIMS (ANGELS) and PALM TREES made, and on the wall of the temple. 21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. 22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord. 23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 24 And the doors had two LEAVES apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. 25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, CHERUBIMS and PALM TREES, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without. ➨ BOWING as a sign of honour / respect: ●1 KINGS 2:19 Solomon bows to his Mother. (he HONOURS Her) ● JOSHUA 7:6: 6 Joshua & the elders of Israel tore their clothing and lay prostrate (face down on the ground) before the Ark of the Lord. (an OBJECT) ➨ HONOURING MARY: ● LUKE 1:48 All generations will call Mary blessed. ➨ INTERCESSION OF MARY & THE SAINTS IN THE BIBLE: ... Including proof that saints are not among the dead The Protestant claim that we are forbidden to speak to / pray to Mary and the saints is NOWHERE in the Bible. In fact, the following scriptures were copied (by me) directly from the Protestant version of the Bible: ... ➨INTERCESSION of a holy person on our behalf: ● JOB 42:8 8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams, and GO TO MY SERVANT JOB, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and MY SERVANT Job SHALL PRAY FOR YOU, FOR I WILL ACCEPT HIS PRAYER NOT TO DEAL WITH YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FOLLY; for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. ➨INTERCESSION of MARY: JOHN 1 At the wedding feast at Cana, it was Mary who asked Jesus to help the wedding party. ➨INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS: REV 5:8 The prayers of the Saints are offered to Jesus the lamb. ➨The KING Honours his mother's request: ● 1 KINGS 2:20: Then she said, “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Make your request, my mother, for I will not refuse you.” (Jesus is the Greatest King and he also honours his mother's requests) SAINTS ALSO WORKED MIRACLES: ➨ JOHN 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. ➨ PAUL RAISES A MAN FROM THE DEAD: ACTS 20:7-12 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.20: ➨SAINTS ARE NOT AMONG THE DEAD: AND THEIR INTERCESSION IS BIBLICAL: They share in the ressurrection of Jesus: (Protestants attack Biblical saints while they follow dead reformers) ● MATTHEW 27: 52 -53: When Jesus was raised from the dead Many were raised up with him. 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. ● LUKE 23 v 39-43...Jesus told the good thief "today you will be with me in paradise" ● REV 19 v 14...when Jesus returns he will be accompanied by his heavenly armies of saints. ● 2 COR 5 v 8...Paul tells us that to be absent with the body is to be with the Lord. ● JOHN 11 v 25-26...Jesus said I am the ressurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives, believing in me will never die. ● LUKE 1619-30 The story of the rich man and Lazarus show The Rich man, Lazarus and Abraham, all concious and interacting with each other even though they have physically died. ● LUKE 9:30-31 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. (Moses & Elijah were alive, and were yalking with Jesus) ● REV 6:10 The souls of the martyrs are before the throne of God, crying out for justice. (they are conscious and actively petitioning God) ● HEB 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ● MATT 17:1-13 ...At the Transformation of Jesus, he is seen speaking to Moses and Elijah, further showing that Holy ones of God are not among the dead. ➨HONOURING MARY: LUKE 1:48: All generations will call Mary Blessed. We Catholics are the ones who call her the BLESSED Virgin Mary and treat her accordingly. ➨NOWHERE does the bible permit protestants (or anyone else) to Scrutinize & monitor the prayers of other people, nor to judge their sincerity or their salvation. Protestantism does not come from jesus. It began with Martin Luther in 1517 & exists Only to oppose the Catholic church which Jesus founded 15 centuries B4 the protestant revolt. They only know & accept the PARTS of the Bible that suit them and they do not have an accurate bible either.

If there is no scriptural basis for the doctrine of a triune God, then from whence did this idea come? Rome, the seat of emperors for the Roman Empire and the power base of political popes, was heavily influenced by the philosophy and paganism of the former Grecian Empire, which took in much more territory than the Roman Empire ever achieved. Greek literature, sociology, religion, and superstitions played a great part in the formation of Roman government, philosophy, and religion. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Romans incorporated much of their custom and culture into Christianity, just as the Jewish believers did in Jerusalem. When the Apostle Paul was in Athens he observed, among the worshippers of many pagan gods, an altar to the Unknown God. He took advantage of their superstitions to preach to them of the one true God. Among these people were Epicureans and Stoics philosophers who were amazed at Paul’s preaching of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Up until the rule of Emperor Constantine, the Christians of the Roman Empire were persecuted. Constantine, however, in the early fourth century saw a chance to help restore the former glory of the Empire by bringing about religious unity. In exchange for the cooperation of the Roman Christian Bishops he made Christianity the official state religion. However, this came at great cost to the true gospel of Jesus Christ. From this time forward Christianity became a mixture of the Christian faith and Paganism. One of the most common beliefs among Pagan cultures was in a trinity of gods. We find this among the Egyptians, Indians (of India), Japanese, Sumarians, Chaldeans, and of course, the Babylonians, to where historians trace the roots of trinitarism. Church history shows a gradual assimilation of Pagan ideas into Christianity, brought about mostly by the Roman or Western Church, which became a political/religious extension of the Roman Empire. Foremost among the pagan ideas was the adoption of the trinity doctrine into the dogma of the church. Pagan holidays (holy days) were also incorporated into tradition by “Christianizing” them, thus we end up with Christmas being celebrated on Dec 25th; Easter, which combined the resurrection of Christ with the pagan goddess Ester, and Halloween combined with All Saint’s Day. In time, the political power of the Roman Popes and the wealth they controlled exceeded that of the Emperors, and the Church became a Monarchy with power over kings and nations. Religious tolerance went out the door, and the Church embarked on crusades and inquisitions to purge out by ex-communication, torture, war, and murder, all those who disagreed with official Church doctrine or resisted the authority of the Pope. Christ-like behavior became a thing of the past, and Jesus’ teachings neglected and changed. The Reformation, brought about by Martin Luther, threw off the yoke of the Papists and declared justification by faith instead of salvation by obeying the Roman church. However, the Pagan doctrines and traditions of Catholicism carried over into Protestantism and remain intact to this day. The Trinity doctrine was by no means adopted unanimously by church leaders of the day. Bitter battles ensued, and three versions of the trinity debated, as well as the non-trinity belief, until the present one was adopted. It was a vote of men that established it, not revelation from God or scriptures. Christianity had rejected the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and replaced Him with a Pagan invention.

I really don't believe in a Trinity (since that word does not exist in scripture unless it is in these newer Bibles) but I do believe in the Father and the Son and believe that there is such a thing as the Holy Spirit of truth (the comforter). I like to go by facts written from scriptures and the fact is, the Messiah Himself never said that He is part of a Trinity but He did say that He and the Father are one. Yes God is Holy and yes He is spirit but people are saying it as 3 Separate persons all in one which confuses people. Most people like to refer to the scripture 1John 5:1 that says there were 3 that bear record in Heaven, the Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost and they are one. I think this is where people are inserting the term Trinity. I'm still studying the significance of the Holy Spirit who in my opinion may be a very high angel but not God. I do agree that these 3 all agree on one accord that God gave His Son to die for our sins according to the Bible but per scripture, we are to pray to the Father in the name of the Son only as there is nothing mentioned about praying to the Son or to The Holy Spirit you see? Just to the Father in the name of the Son. Otherwise, it would be written that we could pray to either one of these 3 beings individually and it wouldn't matter which one because they are all one being. We are not told to do such a thing as the Messiah, who the world knows as Jesus, never mentioned for us to pray to Him directly or to the Holy Ghost directly but to God (The Father) alone and to ask in His (Yeshua) Name. If this wasn't so, Yeshua would had said, "You shall Pray to me (Son of Man), the Father or the Holy Ghost as we are one" . But He did NOT say this. In Heaven The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all agree on one accord like it is written in scripture that on earth the spirit, the water and the blood all agree on one accord regarding the Son if this makes any sense.
