Yep, the Church would be in great shape if it didn’t have people in it… 🤷

Well said Peary !
Here is a quote that fits:​

“For Christ established his Church, not as a museum for saints, but as a hospital for sinners.” CCC​

And tell me Derek, How could this contradict what the bible says? You just said yourself that Catholics have statues of Mary, the saints, and Jesus. Now which of these people do you consider false.

Is a Statue of Jesus a false idol? You are saying you don’t agree that Jesus is the Son of God? Or are you saying that Jesus wasn’t a man in the image portrayed by the Statue or what? What do you think he looked like Derek. Again Derek as you saying Jesus did not reveal himself and the bible lied or what?

And the Blessed MOther wasn’t she a woman? Did she not also reveal herself in a human forrn? So tell me Derek is the Statue in her image or not? What was she supposed to be made in an image of a horse or what. Did the bible not say a woman in the image of Eve who was also a woman?

Why not Pray in Christ’s name? Who name do we pray in Derek. Are you saying when we ask the Saints to pray for us we replaced God or what? Because Jesus prayed for Peter. Why did he do this? Was he wrong? I guess Peter should have just prayed for himself or what? In Job God told Jobs friends to ask Job to pray for them. Why is this Derek? Why did God say he would listen to Job and not them? Can’t wait to hear from you Derek!🤷

You are shrugging, I don’t come here much to view the postings, just don’t have the time, so just relax.

How do you know Mary is actually in heaven? God used her for his purposes, not someone you can worship. There are so many Catholics around the world that kneel down in front of the statue of Mary, and I seen it myself. You are asking about the image of Mary. Yes, the statue is in her image, not the image of a horse, but where in the bible does it say to make an image of her? You got eyes, the statue is not of a horse, so why ask a stupid question. You are not making much sense. What is all that about? And who said they are Saints? Who are we to say who will become a saint?

Mary was with out sin (full of grace) so when she died she would have went to heaven. Also why would Jesus not Honor His Mother even if He is God? He did on earth as was Jewish law and why would He stop does God use people for His purpose and then throw them away because He does not need them anymore? And again who said worship, we imitate Christ and honor His mother as He did. Do you not try to imitate Jesus and how he lived? You think worship is just praying but as always God has had sacrifices offered to Him as a sign of worship. What offering do you give Him? The Bible said that the Gentiles will offer a pure offering to the father. Do you do this?
