[b]Christians are the most Hipocritical Creatures on Eart.

Lent : They will give excuse why it isn't compulsory to fast.

Fast : They will come up with excuses to best suit their time. 12noon, 3pm, 6pm. Some will even say you are allowed to drink water or eat fruit inbetween.

Dressing: You are allowed to dress anyhow, i.e. expose you cleavage and thighs, wear weavon and eye lashes, piercing and tattoos. "Afterall Jesus has wiped away our sins".

Sex:
Premarital sex is now very much permitted. Even pastors no longer preach against it[/b].



Catholic Remains the True Christianity.



Is Catholic not part of the bold or your brain is paining you.

Mind you, some people started fasting since the 1st day of this year.

Fasting does not necessarily means you should abstain from food. To learn more about fasting.... Read Is 58

I think there is need to leave all dis tradition which are not scriptural and face the essentials of the bible. Pls dis question

Did jesus put on ash

Did jesus command it & say do it in remembrance of me like Lord supper

Is the priest our Saviour or Jesus

Is through the putting of ash that cleanses our sin... What about d blood of Jesus that was shared on the cross.

Enough of all this jamboree & idol worship.
Lent has been observed even before the bible was formally canonised as preparation for Easter- you can't just throw away valid chrisian tradition because it doesn't fit with your particular modern tradition.
Even the bible was put together based on tradition (do we throw that away as well!)

my question is, why are Catholics bowing to an image Wen the Bible clearly says.......


New International Version:

"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
New Living Translation:

"You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
New American Standard Bible:

"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
King James Bible:

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:
Holman Christian Standard Bible:

Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.
International Standard Version:

"You are not to make for yourselves an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on earth below, or in the water under the earth.
NET Bible:

"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.
New Heart English Bible:

"Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
GOD'S WORD® Translation:

Never make your own carved idols or statues that represent any creature in the sky, on the earth, or in the water.
JPS Tanakh 1917:

Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of 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;
New American Standard 1977:

“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
Jubilee Bible 2000:

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 nor that is in the water under the earth.

someone should please clarify this
why do you bow to your pastors and call them daddy and mummy ? why do you say God of your overseer is your God? if you can answer that then you can go to any catholic CHURCH NEAR YOU AND CONFIRM IF THEY TRULY BOW TO IMAGES or just hearsay and what you think you saw that you gave your own interpretation to.

did Jesus wear designer cloths and flew on private jets like your pastors?
did Jesus command you to use phones cos we well know you can get influenced through phone
did Jesus says you should claim the God of your pastors as your God?
did Jesus enter public transport during is ministration?
if you are doing all these, you are first class hypocrite.

why don't you leave people to worship God the way they can and face your own business then God will be the Judge on the last day. is there a particular church in heaven?

DID YOU READ THE PORTION OF THE BIBLE WHERE THE ISRAELITES WERE BITTEN BY SNAKE IN THE WILDERNESS AND GOD COMMANDED MOSES TO MAKE AN IMAGE OF A SERPENT ON A POLE, THAT ANYONE WHO LOOKS UPON THE IMAGE WILL BE SAVED.

NOW MY QUESTIONS TO YOU ARE:
1. WHY WERE THEY BITTEN BY THE SERPENT
2. WHY DID GOD ASK THAT AN IMAGE BE MADE SINCE HE "FORBIDS IT", DOES THAT MEAN GOD IS CONTRADICTORY?
3. IS IT THE IMAGE THAT SAVED THEM FROM DIEING FROM THE SNAKE BITES?

IF YOU OR ANYONE ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS THEN I WILL ADDRESS YOUR IGNORANCE ON THE USE OF IMAGES BY CATHOLICS.

IN THE INTERIM PLEASE KNOW THAT CATHOLICS DON'T WORSHIP IMAGES
if you are a good bible reader later the Israelites started worshipping that molded serpent and God was angry with them.
