Catholics

[Mungo]

This behavior is not sanctioned by the Word of God.

Is spreading lies on the Internet sanctioned by the Word of God?

 

[Job]

God will judge you for refusing to repent of this . . .

He'll judge you too.

 

[Job]

Is spreading lies on the Internet sanctioned by the Word of God?

No, that's why I speak out against the catholic doctrine. It's a lie from the word go.

 

[BreadOfLife]

He'll judge you too.

He certainly will - but not for spreading lies on this forum lie you . . .

 

[Mungo]

No, that's why I speak out against the catholic doctrine. It's a lie from the word go.

You spread despicable lies.

 

[Mungo]

Well, Josho,

Your attempt to get back on track didn't last long. And never will with trolls like Job around.

 

[Job]

You spread despicable lies.

This is not a lie. The pope burning incense to a false image.

 

[Job]

The pope kissing a corrupt image of the baby Jesus. The scriptures call this Idolatry.

 

[BreadOfLife]

This is not a lie. The pope burning incense to a false image.

A false "image"?? Don't you mean false "IDOL"??
You don't even know what you're talking about.

An image is a likeness - like the pictures in YOUR wallet or on your drivers license.
An IDOL is something that is worshiped as a god.

The picture YOU presented is simply an image of Mary and Jesus that is being blessed like the ones in Solomon's Temple.
Good grief - crack open a Bible once in a while . . .

The pope kissing a corrupt image of the baby Jesus. The scriptures call this Idolatry.

Can you show me the verse that says kissing an image is "idolatry", Einstein??

 

[Mungo]

This is not a lie. The pope burning incense to a false image.

He's venerating those represented by the image.

The pope kissing a corrupt image of the baby Jesus. The scriptures call this Idolatry.

Is the First Lady "worshiping" an idol - or showing love for her dead husband?

Is this woman "worshiping" an idol - or showing love for her dead son??

The only difference between the pictures I presented and the ones YOU presented - is that you're being dishonest and I'm not . . .

 

[BreadOfLife]

Man - I LOVE destroying the lies of anti-Catholics.
Keep'em comin', Job . . .

 

[Job]

He's venerating those represented by the image.

Those images are not true representations of Mary and Jesus which make the images false. The images being false makes them corrupt. Honoring corrupt images of Jesus is call Idolatry.

It's really that simple.

Your chain of "reasoning" is really stupid.

A representation is by definition not the thing itself. It represents something.
It cannot be "false", so not "corrupt" either.

Idolatry is worshipping an idol and that is not what is going on.

 

[Job]

Is the First Lady "worshiping" an idol - or showing love for her dead husband?

Is this woman "worshiping" an idol - or showing love for her dead son??

The only difference between the pictures I presented and the ones YOU presented - is that you're being dishonest and I'm not . . .

You put these pictures up here like I'm supposed to defend what they're doing. Is Jackie constantly kneeling before coffins? I don't know..... Is she asking dead people to talk for her? I don't know..... Does that lady think she's kissing an image of Jesus? Is she asking that image to speak on her behalf?
It's unclear what's taking place in these 2 images. What's not unclear is this.

Praying to false images is a sin. Even if they're just honoring that thing it's still a sin.

HUH??
What is a "true depiction"??

A statue is a work of art - nothing more, nothing less.
How a work of art is depicted is up to the artist.

Is this a "true" depiction?

How about this??

 

[Job]

Idolatry is worshipping an idol and that is not what is going on.

The pope is kissing a false image of Christ. He's burning incense to a corrupt image of Mary. What do you call that if it's not idolatry?

Show me from the scriptures where this kind of behavior is acceptable.

So, it's "clear" to you that these people are praying to a statue??
How is this "clear"??

Are you a mind reader?

How do you know that the woman kissing the picture of her dead son wasn't "worship"??
How about Jackie Kennedy kneeling in prayer before her dead husband's coffin?
Do you know what is in their hearts or in the hearts of the people in the picture above??

The Bible condemns you for this because it says that only GOD knows the hearts of men (Jer. 20:12).

They are not "corrupt" images. They are just representations

Show me from the scriptures where this kind of behavior is acceptable.

Show me from scripture where it says that everything we do must be written in scripture first.
