When moses made a serpent in the desert or when Solomon made images of cherubims and other heavenly images in the temple he built. was it sin?
Did any of them bow in worship to any of them. The instructions in Exodus 20:4 forbids making for the purposes of worship. Can u show me wr they worshipped or wr asked to worship the images?
2 kings 18:4 tells us that hezekaiah the son of Ahaz destroyed the copper serpent built by moses because the isrealites began to worship it. What does that tell u? That worship was never the purpose moses built that snake. Instead of being desperate to hold unto an unexamined belief, why not allow the light of Jesus gospel of truth to illuminate ur heart. If not, 2 Corinthians 4:4 would be a to explain ur situation.

stop obfuscating history. so before they were called Christians, they were inexistent? or after the first shepherd (pope) of the church in the name of Peter died, he was not succeeded? go and verify the date your church or any other church was founded and compare it with that of the Catholic church. also verify from where they all broke out from. then you will be clear on why the Catholic Church is the mother Church
So before they were named Christians, weren't they disciples of Christ? U didn't answer a simple question that I asked and I understand because 2 Timothy 2:4 explains ur situation.

why are pple very myopic and idiotic? some keep asking is that God? like they know where he is, honestly some pples reasoning is far below that of a fowl, the bible said God is everywhere, so whats wrong if he is in a statue.

ok now pls tell me where u wnt him to bow, show me where God is let me go and bow there, Thats a church for crying out loud and thats the house of God

every religion uses something to depict God and connect with him, it doesnt mean they arr worshiping that object. the traditionalist use carved object while the god is buried underneath, same thing with budhims, jewish, moslems bow to an empty space


the point is nobody has seen God or know where he is, so why d heck are u asking is he dia ? where is he?

finally religion is about faith only, if i begin to defer to a stone as God, the stone after a while will start acting like one, if a use statue to connect to my God and believe it. it will start working........simple
No scripture, just stories? Please 2 Timothy 4:4

By heavens the context is referring to the Sun, moon, stars and other heavenly bodies.

This is something everybody knows.
So Jesus is not in heaven abi? So heaven is limited to stars, moon and sun abi?
Matthew 4:8 says: ".........you shall worship the Lord your God(not the image u carved to represent God) and him only shall you serve".
A carved image of God is not God, in spite of whatever reverence ur heart may feel. In fact, without kneeling to that image, u wld feel that reverence in ur heart at all and dis fact says it all.

monex:
they see it in the bible but as scriptures are subject to interpretation, they have an alternative interpretation of that scripture. they interprete it that the scripture does not refer to due worship to God or reverence for sacramentals that symbolize God. anything in the heavens could be an image of the moon or star etc.

The typical catholic man who bows before the cross bows to God and not the cross. He only uses the cross as a symbol. Symbolism is quite complex and a little of it is in all of us.

haven't you seen people using their bibles to block spiritual attacks. that is an example of symbolism. Many people will consider irreverence to the bible or a cross to be sinful. e.g. spitting on a cross or on the bible
Exodus 20:4 says: "you must not make for yourself, a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or in the earth below or in the waters under the earth".
That image he is bowing to is used to represent Jesus. Since Jesus is in heaven, isn't that image "a form like anything that is in the heavens above"?

shocked







I'm a Christian but not a Catholic, let me say i see nothing wrong in what John Dumelo is doing.

Most of the people criticising him touch their pastors feet, pray using their pastors name. The most common one is Using ROBERT POWELL image in their churches, houses, cars etc. Is Robert Powell Christ? hanging his image in your house, church, cars shows that you idolized Powell.


I rather bow down to wooden Jesus than bow down to any pastor, i rather bow down to wooden Jesus than bow down to robert powell.


They worship wooden image and it works for them, why are people bittered, are you them?

They Bible that you all are quoting to condemn this, but not for catholic will you guys know what is bible?

And don't forget Catholic is the mother of Christianity, if Catholic is evil then Christianity is EVILshocked

Nonsense!
To understand u clearer, Please tell us, Apostle Paul and the rest Apostles were catholics and prayed as Catholics pray.
Besides I'm surprised that with all ur "certainty", u didn't or shld I say cldnt cite a single scripture. This is my citation: Acts 1:21 - 26 shows that it was due to the activities and behaviour of the 1st century Christians that led to the people of Antioch calling the Apostles, Christians. Pls enlighten us on how u arrived at ur conclusion.

Was Joseph the biological father of Jesus Christ? Didn't he still father the child Jesus? Do u know how big Joseph's heart was wen he decided (although with advice from God's angel) to father the child Jesus? If his heart were hard like yours, do u think he wld have listened to the angel? Those advising OP to adopt the child, na wa for una o! What u are advising OP is to take advantage of the helpless situation of the child by severing all connections with the Father. The fact that a father is irresponsible, should that justify adopting the child to bear ur name, because u no wan train anoda person pikin? Wat if after all these struggles u die, Shey na anoda man go dey bulala ur wife ni? Wld u like that man to turn out ur children? OP, take the child in, take some time to figure out Wat to do but take good care of the child and do not give ur wife an ultimatum on the kid. For the time being, allow the kid to answer e papa name. Besides, shebi Tuface baby mama carry Tuface pikin enter her pastor husband house?
Besides, I think ur parents were very selfish and they also raised a selfish brat.

You can pass your message across without referring us to read the Bible passage. Sorry no time to make all those references. Just pass the message for everyone to learn from it.
In other words, the scriptures do not play any role in our belief system and opinions? I guess the bible is a book of myths and legends to u, such that it can be done away with? 2 Timothy 3:16 is so true. No wonder 2 Timothy 4:4 warns us of those who decide to live outside the scriptures.
