The entire structure, vestments, images, architecture, rituals, and Holy days (holidays) of the RCC have their origins in paganism.

So the vestments that God ordered made for Aaron and his son's were pagan?, The Seraphim and other decorations on the Ark of the Covenant were pagan? The Temple design that Solomon Built was Pagan? The days of Prayer and Fasting that God ordered were Pagan?

That is your story and you intend to stick to it on judgment day?

You’re kidding right? First of all the vestments of the RCC incorporate pagan symbols not what God described in Exodus. Second is that Christ eliminated the office of the priests of the Old Testament or have you not heard.>The Seraphim and other decorations on the Ark of the Covenant were pagan?<<

Once again stuck on Old Testament. You may want to study what God had done to the brass serpent.

2 Kings 18:4 He[Hezekiah] removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

The RCC uses pagan symbols

>>The Temple design that Solomon Built was Pagan?<<

Show any similarities to pagan architecture or symbols please.

>>The days of Prayer and Fasting that God ordered were Pagan?<<

You’re really stretching on that one. Which of those does the RCC hold to still?

Trying to put words in my mouth or insinuate that I was referring to Old Testament commands by God is rather disingenuous. Anyone who does a little research can find that the RCC incorporated many of those pagan practices etc. to attract the pagans into the church. They just claimed they “Christianized” them or “baptized them” to make them Christian. God on the other hand said not to do that.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods;
