The second commandment: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children to the third and fourth generations of those who reject me, and showing covenant faithfulness to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
Catholicism clearly violates this commandment!!! You have crucifixes that show Jesus as dead, still on the cross! There are images of Mary and the so-called "saints" all over the place. You bow down to them, serve them, and pray to them.
where does scripture say that’s the second?
the first is ex 20:2-6
Second ex 20:7
Third ex 20:8
and images are not forbidden only graven images
scripture says Christ must be portrayed as crucified gal 3:1

KJV Deuteronomy 4:13
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Worship is defined in dictionaries Faith.
We are Christians 24/7 but we are not worshipping 24/7. Worshiping God would be active when praying, attending meetings, literally doing something for God, bearing testimony, putting in a contribution, etc.

The web site I recommended wasn't designed for penny ante Christians. I'm
pretty sure the author had in mind much better spiritual quality than they.

Jesus said this:
[18] And a ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
[19] And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
[20] You know the commandments: `Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'" Luke 18:18-20 RSV

@theefaith you can prance around these boards and tell us that you are keeping all the commandment if you like, but we know that is impossible for man to do!
It was impossible for those under the Law! But they had something you don't have, they had an alter where they sacrificed the blood of an animal which represented faith in the Blood of Christ. That is where they found Grace and Mercy. That is no longer available for man now that we are under a New Covenant that Christ purchased with His Blood. In fact, God took the sacrifice from the Jews.
Yes, that's the Covenant that you deny!!!!! And also deny the one who gave it to us, Paul!!!!!!
You my friend, are standing naked before God in your sins without any hope at all!
Those under the Law were to do the best they could, and when they failed, they had that animal sacrifice to fall on for mercy. You with your half faith in your ability to keep the Commandments and half faith in the Grace of God, is no faith at all!
Now under this New Covenant anything less than 100% faith in Christ leaves you naked and guilty before God.
Did not James tell us that if are guilty of breaking one Commandment, you are guilty of all? Do you realize what that means? It means you are condemned by the Law to death, that is a Spiritual death, do you know what that means?
So if you are depending your ability to keep the Commandments you better go find an alter where God has established a priest to inspect your sacrifice and then offer it up for you in the Holy of Holies of the tabernacle.
Law keeping demands the ability to sacrifice the blood of animals (which represented Christ as the sacrifice) to stay in the Mercy and Grace of God.
Good Luck!

This is a well-intentioned post; I hope that theefaith reads it and accepts what you have said but -- I have my doubts. He has swallowed the Catholic denomination's doctrine 110% and posts its teachings regularly. He is clearly antisemitic (not realizing that Jesus was a Jew) and goes on and on about "ever virgin" Mary and how the Catholic denomination is "the church".
Still, I hope that your post and your prayers will have some effect.

Neither is a good choice. They're chock full of Catholicism instead of
straight out of the New Testament like the site I recommend.
Go To:
Christ's Laws
BTW: I was a Catholic for 24 years. I'm not about to go back down that road
again. No sir-ee Bob; never again! Me and The Church are permanently parted.
