Idol Worship In The Roman Catholic Church

Former Pope worships statue of Mary, He says, ""Membership in the Militia means complete dedication to the Kingdom of God and to the salvation of souls through Mary Immaculate." - Pope John Paul II



Members worship statue of Mary,




Notice carefully the Illuminati pyramid in gold.






The Word of God condemns bowing to all idols and images! "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: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, " (Exodus 20:4,5).



"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." - Isaiah 42:8

I am not glued to this forum am I? 

I have in the past discussed sabbath issues before, but if you have something to say start a thread on the topic.

Ofcourse the catholic subsect is about idol worshipping,afterall christianity was formed through the syncretizing of various existing and much more established pagan religions of the time.The ancient pagan gods simply became the saints,and the various ancient pagan godmen archetypes became Jesus christ whom all christians worship today,anyway.So what is the big deal?

What kind of a god condemns me to damnation coz i didn't sleep all through my saturday???

@ chukwudi44



You said it not me! 


This thread is not about the sabbath.


"broad is the road that leads to destruction and many there be that find it, and narrow is the road that leads to eternal life and few there be that find it" Jesus said.

Besides, if I hated Catholics I wouldn't be here warning them to leave this deceitful and pagan infested organization, would I? There are large amounts of innocent Catholics that have been deceived, and need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.


Well, I have good news for you. Jesus is coming again and when He comes I pray that you will be ready. I pray that God will remove the scales from your eyes that you will find freedom in Christ, instead of looking to a man-made religion.

Why are you entertaining Bobbyaf?
Don't you know foolishness when u see one?
According to Bobby, God himself promotes idolatry when he commanded the Israelites to make graven images to be used in worship.

Hello Bobbyaf 


What you just raised here is a very important issue, but the man can not see what you are saying here, this is a very very clear massage.

@BobbyAf
Why did God tell moses to build a pole with a brazen serpent on it?

No actually it is not technically Idol worship.
The problem arises when people do not know the meaning of the term worship.
Worship does not pertain to God alone, it can also pertain to man.
Hence the reason why in Britain today they address their judges and such as 'Your Worship'

To understand the actual meaning of Idolatry one has to look at the root words. Particularly the latry part of the word. Latry is the english variation of the latin word Latria, which is the highest form of worship. That form of worship is due to God alone. It doesn't matter if u were to use pictures to focus your mind on God, if you do not consider that picture your God, and you do not put the foucs on that picture as the Supreme Being then that picture is not God. And hence you are not worshipping the picture as God. But rather instead using the picture to focus on God.

The other confusion comes in with the word Pray. Unfortunately most people are not aware of what the word prayer means.
To pray is to ask, it is to petition, plain and simple. When we look back at shakespear time  we see that the characters in his plays when speaking to other human characters use the word pray in referring to them. The most notable one being "I pray thee"
They are not regarding the person they're speaking to as God. They are simply petitioning the person.

So it all comes down to context and intention of the person.

What those who always find pleasure in attacking the Catholic church fail to realise is that they are actually the ones guilty of idolatry or are even doing the same thing.

While praying in their homes they have pictures of their family members and of themselves. They even have T.Vs, tables, chairs, beds and such in their rooms. They even get down on their knees in front of their beds to pray or their chairs to pray and if one looks at their gesture they are bowing in front of the bed.
According to them, if one bows in front of an object or bows in front of the object to pray that person is guilty of worshipping that object. Therefore they too are guilty of worshipping their chairs or beds or pictures in their rooms as they get on their knees and bow to pray in their room.
Unless they wish to somehow logically explain how those objects are not images.

They even go so far as to worship a book, the Bible. They worship the ink used in writing it, and worship the paper it is written on. They worship a book. By asserting that it is by Bible alone, they worship the Bible and elevate the Bible above all else.
The actual Word of God (the logos) is a Person and not a book or an object.

And since you don't know the heart of man as God does, its best to simply obey rather than conjure up excuses for plain idolatry. In other words God doesn't want a representation when it comes to worship. He prefers a direct approach. He desires that all of His children come to Him directly. Jesus didn't teach us to pray through saints. He simply said to pray to our father which is in heaven. So we don't need Mary, or dead saints through whom to pray since they are dead and gone.

The RCC removed the 2nd commandment which forbids image carving and worship. It plainly says "thou shall not make unto thee any graven images", of anything, be it Mary, Jesus, or anyone else. What is it about that plain commandment you are failing to comprehend?

this is the usual subtle twisting of the scripture to justify catholic nonsense. Read that portion of the bible again -

Num 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

Where was the serpent WORSHIPPED like you dishonestly claimed? Why was this serpent NEVER mentioned again after verse 9 except to use it as a symbol of Christ's own crucifiction on the cross? If this was indeed a graven image that God meant for worship then why didnt the jews take it along with them and even install it in the temple when solomon finally built one?
