So God is an idol, who commanded against idolatry.
You're an idiot.
This is where you simply just fail, and for the last time because I've already proved you wrong all through this thread and am not going to waste a lot of time arguing with someone who is impossibly hellbent on trying to condemn the Church.
You've claimed we were wrong, but you haven't proved squat.
It's only idolatry if one believes that an object has a deity in it. That is the idolatry that the Bible speaks of, and the only idolatry at that.
Your 'type II' is just a cheap, false way of trying to condemn one of such.
No, it's idolatry if one believes the object is the deity or worships the object because, to them, it represents the deity.
When a Hindu bows to a statue of Vishnu even though they don't believe the statue itself is Vishnu it is idolatry, because the statue represents Vishnu.
You are a special kind of retarded to think that God, the Grandmaster Logos of the universe, is going to send people to Hell for making statues of Jesus and Saints praising him.
I don't think the making of statues to honor men or God is idolatry. Bowing to those statues in worship, as if they are the actual subject is idolatry.
The fact that you think that way is a clear indication that you will be the one going to Hell. Keep thinking the way you think, and re-access yourself, you pompous idiot.
I don't think that way, dipstick. I call you a dipstick because you jumped to a conclusion based on a faulty assumption because you're too much of a pinhead to reason out the facts of the matter.
Also because the word you're looking for here is 'reassess," not "re-access."
Access
Then there's the post you made in response to someone else wherein you said "in relevance," when you meant "in reference." You really are an ignorant twit.
The church of Rome replaced its Christianity with paganism, then pretended that it was Christianity.
You don't fool anyone but yourselves.
Exactly!
Translation: :allsmile:
I'm sorry that you are so dull of a person, or that people like you even exist honestly, to think that the Church commits pagan idolatry for praying in front of a crucifix in a parish, or a statue of Mary on a table.
It's orthodox Christianity, get over yourself and your new age revisionist contempt.
You all are a special kind of insufferable idiots. How you all even go around explicitly condemning people to Hell for anything without fear of your own salvation is beyond me. You're going to be in for a big surprise when you're standing in front of God.
Even without the statue praying to anyone other than God is idolatry. The only person you're fooling is yourself.
