Momentos are one thing. Kneeling, praying and sacrificing to an image is another. Cool how you guys have all this rationalization worked out.

However, I don't use crosses or crucifixes or images of Christ simply to err on the right side. I don't need any; His law and image is in my heart. If you folks need them, then, in my opinion, that's a sorry spiritual state.

You may be ok, then, you may not.

Like the Bereans, we check with the scripture and find plenty support for praying to Holy Images there -- I told you where to look.

Perhaps what our intentions look like to you should not be confused with our actual intent.

Well, I have Protestant friends and family members who cart their Bibles around with them everywhere. They put them into gold embossed carriers, display them proudly and are lost without them.

If I used your reasoning, they are worshiping that book.

I’m glad I’m not.

Riiight... so you admit to idolatry in your heart.

Where do you get this “sacrificing to an image” stuff? This is the second time you’ve made this charge and I’d like to know what you’re talking about!
