Home › Religion and Spirituality › Catholics Why The Image Worship?
My question is to Catholics if the Bible forbids idolatry of any kind, why do you kneel and pray to statues and relics in your churches?
"The Catholic religion is filled with all sorts of symbols, images, and relics. The Catechism of the Council of Trent states these words:
"It is lawful to have images in the Church, and to give honor and worship unto them..."
It's lawful to honor and worship images? Not according to God's word. Exodus 20:4-5 says, "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: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." Image worship is unscriptural and will end with the eternal damnation of those who practice it (Rev. 14:11). "

I am a Christian, I believe Jesus is God, I have confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, and I do the will of the Father. Therefore I have received Salvation and I am going to heaven when I die.
For God so loved the world ,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Romans 10:9
I have God who is my sole source for the truth and I have the Bible that was inspired by the Holy Spirit who told the disciples what to write, this is all I need.
16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16
I do not need any teachings from the catholic church. There is nothing in the catholic church worth listing to, instead I listen to God and what He says is the truth. I do not recognize anything the popes say as having any truth because we have the complete truth from God in His Holy Scriptures.
