Terravilla Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 You should travel back to the middle ages and tell that to the Catholic Church.People often do things in the name of Christendom of which Christ would most likely disapprove.Bill Maher said it best: "They're not followers of Christ... They're just fans."Derp. Yeah, the Crusades. The Catholic Church wasn't the brightest in the middle ages. But I'm not talking about the middle ages, I'm talking about now. And that still doesn't change the fact that Catholicism is directly related to Judaism...I've been Catholic all my life, and I'm proud to say so.

Stuart Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 God said not to worship idols or images. Doesn't being a catholic include worshipping a picture of jesus/god or standing before a statue of him and praying to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you wanted to kneel in front of a statue of Jesus and pray to God, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunnyPirate Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Im christian. Religion and ideal beliefs tends to cause alot of argueing. I dont go into specifics because of it.I think, once in the old foruns we had a topic like this and there were alot of confusion and argueing, so I kinda don't like to much to talk about this eather.

Stuart Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 not an aggressive argument, it's more of a debate...didn't mean for anyone to take offense to any of my questions. just post what you think and let others challenge it with their own perspective...that's how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Oh, but why do people worship/ pray to saints anyway? I dont recall the bible or Jehovah mentioning that his followers should pray to other saints or talk to these saints in their prayers.But prayers are personal and I have no intention to delve anymore into personal matters such as prayers. People can pray about whatever they want and whenever they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
