We had all kind of statues in our church when I was Catholic..........
and we went and prayed to them all the time...
GOD at the alter, of course
Mary on one side and Joseph on the other side......
and the stations of the cross on both sides.....
Hi Grams,

Did you know you were violating Gods commandment when you did that? Or were you a child at that time and didn't know any better?

no there isn't anything wrong with status, but to teach children to bow before them, therein is the problem. and because the catholic priesthood knows or knew better its on them.
Sorry your prejudice prevents you from seeing the difference between adoring and bowing. Please grow a brain cell.
If a priest was found guilty of teaching children to worship statues, he would be defrocked and thrown out of the priesthood. Faith and reason are compatible where I come from, I see no common sense in your system, just paranoid irrational iconoclasm, pushing towards the Manichean heresy.

faith and reason is where you come form huh? faith in what and for what reason? people till not to long ago would slaughter the week and helpless placing their faith in something using some kind of reasoning. people use to sacrifice their own children placing their faith in something using some kind of reasoning. Adam and Eve placed their faith in what the serpent said and for the reasoning the serpent offered them.

every human being has a faith a reasoning compatible to where they come from. so maybe you are sorry, could be very supper sorry for all I know.

No - it's not "irrelevant."

YOU
are the one who said that the world has been "exposing" Catholics since our Church was "formed". The onus, therefore, is on YOU to tell me WHEN it was formed - otherwise, your comment is just another unfounded lie.

CAN you answer the question??
WHEN was the Catholic Church formed??

it is totally irrelevant as your church is not His so it like all mans religions are irrelevant, and soon enough as it says, " a house divided against itself cannot stand.

I hope you are not in it when the roof collapses it might hurt your head.

God bless

Why does it matter, it wont change anything, are you not the expert on such things dont you know, I cant wait for that day, when you glorify God and Jesus , and send people to Christ instead of prison, thank God that He is patient with men. But you are just another Saul, brainwashed and whose heart is just 100% for the wrong thing, if it where for God, boy what things you could do.

God bless

You anti-Catholics get real boring with your worn out slaughter mantra; it's always asserted but never proven. Now we are guilty of killing our own children. I am not talking about Adam and Eve. This is from that blinding link that you refused to read:
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves (cf. Ex 33:18; Ps 27:8-9; 63:2-3; Jn 14:8; 1 Jn 3:2).​

But you don't get it, you automatically reject a truthful statement based on its source, and not on it's own merits. It's called prejudice.

Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.



So many wear crosses, crucifixes, they have them hanging on their walls at home or pictures of crosses or what they may think Jesus looked like, paintings statuses of sorts, and as far as we know one wouldn’t bow to them but are they offensive to the Lord? Why was the Lord adamant about an image. Messages of many sorts are in images political propaganda for one and the Catholic church used paintings and images to convey a message to a people that most likely could read or write.


But, thing is, the Word of God conveys the image of God to His creation and the creatures therein, no physical thing can be in the image of God, and it’s through God’s Word we know and worship Him.
Yeah, and Jesus said don't be repetitive with our prayers.
So where does the Hail Mary fit in?

Almost as frustrating as church bias retarding your spiritual growth, I bet
