If you call hold the Body or Blood of Jesus Christ an abomination — I feel sorry for you.
What did I not say in my post to indicate that they are sacred vessels?
Do you consider Holy Water to be an idol too?
How about Palm Btanches — are they idols.
Only if these objects are adored instead of adoring Christ are they idols. And they aren’t, they are just sacred things that have a lot of symbolic meaning.
Do you have a cross in your church? Do you consider it an idol?
Yes those are all idols if they have so much meaning to them that you can’t understand they are just representations. Unless the Bible specifically says those things are never to fall out of the hands of the church and you should do everything in your power to shut those that do down—then you need to relax a bit. Worship as you see fit and don’t go looking to get upset over others. You should be more concerned with their souls and less with the relics they use.

Vessels cannot be sacred; they are mere implements. To consider the implements of the Lord’s Supper as sacred puts them on a level equal to your salvation, which cannot be so; your salvation is by the grace of YHWH, not man.
