Me thinks the tear prop is working correctly. Now if we can get a flying monkey to fly out of her butt, I'll be impressed! KEK
Do you REALLY think it's a good idea to insult a statue of Our Lord's mother?
Exposing the Idolatry of Mary Worship: What the Bible Says
https://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/90-317/exposing-the-idolatry-of-mary-worship-what-the-bible-says
Something about making no graven images or worshiping anyone BUT God comes to mind. I’d say the same about a statute of Caesar.
So we can’t have statues at all?
Not when you bow down to them.
God gave the instructions how to build the ark of the covenant and it had 2 graven images of angels. Exodus 25:18. It what you do with them that matters. You don’t worship them.
I have seen the Pope kneel down to a statute of Mary. Jus sayin. Don't kill the messenger.
Insult a statue? Think about that, please. A statue.
Oooh! I do I do! Pick me!!!
Screw Isis, Aphrodite, your precious "Orion Queen" and whatever other name you want to give that lump of clay.
It's idolatry.
YOU are the Alpha and Omega. The Buddha. The Christ.
We've been over this...quit fuckin around.
These bastards have tubing and a pump inside.
Stop being stupid. I swear, 5 year olds would know it's bs.
(No one in particular... everyone. Just stop. Man up and admit you got fooled... repeatedly.)
Accept your role as God's consciousness here at this time. Your life is an absolute fucking miracle. YOU fertilized the egg against billions... act like it.
Winners aren't losers.
Here here
Aww! Too cute!
Struck a nerve with you idol worshippers I see!
Grow up.
God has no gender. Stop being retarded.
I do not recommend to insult the mother of Jesus. I do not like statues though.
It's a graven image. Go read the 10 commandments again.
I am not a worshipper of a statue, but keep insulting God’s chosen people. How was Jesus born? By himself? Just poof?
I suppose you also think the children in Portugal seeing their Virgin Mary multiple times was a hoax as well.
Or the final apparition when 50,000 people witnessed the sun moving all about the sky to provide a miracle as promised?
You sir, are an asshole!
Spoken like a true Roman Catholic. Kek
Even Satan can come disguised as an angel of light.
Mary is not God! She should not be worshiped!
Pretty sure Jesus doesn’t agree.
Are presbyterians included?
Our road to salvation ended at the cross. You've pretty concisely stated what is wrong with the Catholic church. Latin Mass, seriously? Wow!
I have been to a Latin mass and also read your catholic bible. Problem is my anccestors fought for the right of every man to be able read an Interpret the bible as he sees fit. While the Catholics fought to keep the word of god for only the so called enlightend (popes, priest). If it wasn't for this effort you wouldnt even be able to read your bible. I am inherently biased and the only racism I have ever felt is to Latins. For what they did to the northern christiants and arians shall never be forgiven.
What's your sauce for worshiping a statue? Got any Bible, chapter and verse?
I’m absolutely sure that Jesus agrees.
Mary did not die for our sins on the cross, Jesus did. Mary could not die on the cross for our sins, because she’s not sinless.
Yes, I think that Jesus is very concerned about idle worship, and that people are worshiping his mother when she is not God.
I would have to disagree with you.
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,” I Timothy 2:5 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1ti.2.5.NKJV
However; God bless you and have a great day.
Your trying to say Jesus thought Mary was God? Wow, of all the bizarre Catholic teachings I've heard, that has to be the wildest, and most blasphemous one, yet.
that is the opposite of what was said.
I was replying to Doug1956, who said he thinks Jesus does not agree with the statement he appeared to be responding to "Mary is not God, she should not be worshipped" (it may be confusion in the way the messages are posted and responded to; I wish they would do like FB and put the name of the person you are responding to at the start of any comment where you ARE responding to someone)
Where did that come from?
You can read the Cathecism of the Catholic Church so you know what you are talking about. https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catechism/catechism-of-the-catholic-church
I only read the Bible. Why do you think the Catholic church only recently even considered having their congregations actually read the Bible? If you read completely through the Bible, I think you will find that the Catholic church is in much disagreement with the Bible.
She isn’t. We love her for saying yes to God. Jesus loves His mother beyond measure and so do Catholics because of it. We will all find out someday how much she interceded for us whether we knew it or not. She loves all God’s children.
Satan has used "visions" throughout history to fool people.
Yes - many saints have written accounts of seeing Mary or someone else only to have it turn out to be satan. You tell the veracity of an apparition by its goodness and its "fruit".
Fatima produced tens of thousands of believers. Not something satan would want. Same with the apparitions happening over the last 42 years in Medjugorje. Hundreds of thousands have repented from sin and converted to Christianity.
Idolatry.
Do you have any pictures if dead relatives? That would also be idol worship by your purity standards.
That is not an accurate statement. I do not worship my dead relatives. Catholics worship Mary and the other Saints. They pray to Mary. Where in the Bible did Jesus teach us to pray to Mary?
Always felt like that to me, no man or woman either animal or human shall be worshipped.
Mary is not worshipped. She is revered...as the mother of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just like Christ Himself would honor His mother. (Like the commandment tells us to do.)
For sure that is how it should be unfortunately not everyone has that knowledge you possess and so they continue to worship idols.
I will add that for some the understanding is that the idea of a human representing God is idol worship, the same goes for representing God as an animal.
Last time this happened it was a leaking toilet on the floor above.
People were rubbing the "tears" on their skin, eyes, children, and even putting them in their mouths.
Anther time it was blood. They dna tested it and it was from a male and the guy that owned the building refused to take a DNA test.
Also Jesus had a younger brother so that means.... "virgin mary" had SEX and should no longer be called a virgin. Joseph hit that as was his duty as a husband.
Correct the real story like most of history is heavily protected. The virgin story a pagan one. The virgin birth of Horus, Ra also born to a virgin mother, the roman god phygros also born to a virgin mother etc Interestingly they also all died and were resurected. This was mixed into the story of Jesus (yasua) at some point probably around the time of the council of Nicea. The question is why?
Not even remotely close.
This atheist trop has been put to death thoroughly before so I won't even address it.
Go look it up from the other side. You obviously haven't.
Paganism is not Atheism. The belief that there is no God or gods is Atheism. So it's not an atheist trop The idea that all religions are added to is fact. It's Wether you believe these additions or subtractions are done through man by God and thus divine. Making them gods word
Please don't accuse before you understand.
The early church venerated Mary: the Rosary prayer is 500 years older than any Protestant man made religion created iver the past 500 years.
Are we measuring d*** lengths?
Facts matter.
Why would something being older make it more significant?
I read as much as I can of Christian ideology and texts. Please show me more
Interesting! What a cunningly devised fable!
A woman under the law! A woman who was a transgressor from the womb! A woman of sin! Wowza! What name does she have in roman catholicism? Star of the sea? Who else is the star of the sea? Poseidon? Who does poseidon represent? What worship is this? What are the symbols of this worship? Where are these symbols plastered?
But the stone, it cries! The waters, they move! Why are they trying to misappropriate mary? What are they turning her into? Who else do they do this with? How long has this cult of deception existed? What names has it taken throughout history? What is the common worship behind all their theology? Does their theology permeate the whole world, but under different names and creeds? Who do they worship? Who do they derive their "power" from? By doing all of this, who are they trying to replace? Who is central to the Bible?
Signs and symbols are creeping their way back in, or have they always been in the shadow of the light?
Do not be deceived. Inundate yourself with the Word. Corroborate with history if you must. Take heed of the three angel's message.
Read the signs of the time and understand Matthew 24:36; it is not that no man will know, it is that only God will make known the time of His second Advent.
Nice summary. I've always been amazed how people are so willing to totally accept what Popes throughout the ages have said, and seem to ignore what is stated in the Bible!
I so wish I could trust those men 100% who put together all those different texts and books that make up the bible. From the constantine in 335 in nicae all the way up to james and his cronies in the 1500s in England.
No doubt though when I read them I can feel the word of God though. Unfortunately we know here at GAW how corrupt and deceiving man can be.
Yes the holy trinity, where as Arian churches always had 2 pillars.
Looks like a lot of condensation that gathered and looks like tears. It would flow down a statues face like a tear, because the statue's face is shaped like a human's face.
Make sure to check the pipes in the ceiling too....
There are Christians and there are catholics. Catholics are a cult division of Christianity. They idolise priests and think the pope is their messenger. What a joke
