Anything anti-biblical, anti-God in this religious 'performance'??? Absolutely...
Six months later, at his Catholic diaconate ordination, Allen lay prostrate before Bishop Guglielmone. Allen’s 2-year-old son, Henry, ran up to lie down beside his dad.
Act 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. Act 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
And they teach everything the do is in line with scripture...Sure, uh-huh...
I was going to post this, but thank you. We are not to worship men nor kneel at their feet, let alone lie prostrate in front of them.
The evaluation of prostration depends on what is meant by it in each case. There is a LOT of prostration of human being to other humans, and to angels, in the Bible. In none of these cases is it meant to be adoration of a mere human or angelic creature: if it were, it would be idolatry. But that is not what was meant:
Genesis 19:1
Lot prostrates to two angels
Genesis 33:3
Jacob prostrates to Esau
Ruth 2:10
Ruth prostrates to Boaz
1 Samuel 20:41
David prostrates to Jonathan
1 Samuel 25:23
Abigail prostrates to David
2 Samuel 14:33
Joab prostrates to David
2 Samuel 24:20
Araunah prostrates to David
1 Kings 1:23
Nathan prostrates to David
2 Kings 2:15
the sons of the prophets prostrate to Elisha
2 Kings 4:37
the Shunammite widow prostrates to Elisha
.
As for Fr. Allen's testimony of Christ: this is not an essay by Fr Allen about his faith, but an article by Jennifer Berry Hawes, a staff writer in a secular paper. Presumably she based some of it on an interview with Fr Allen, but she did not retain a question-and-answer format. Apparently she omitted quite a bit (this always happens in newspaper articles) and chose to make it in the form of a human interest feature.
Fr. Allen would have had no control over the formatting and editing, the pictures, the headline, the focus, the length, or any other journalistic aspect of the article.
The bottom line is: either she didn't ask him about his coming to faith in Jesus Christ, or she just omitted to put this part in the article.
If you're interested in this aspect, you might want to ask Fr. Allen?
None of us put complete statements concerning our Faith in Jesus Christ our Savior, in every post. I don't. Neither do you, iscool.
Seriously.
“Any mention of Jesus in this guy’s testimony??? Nope...Any testimony of this fella trusting Jesus to become his Saviour??? Nope...”
Because you’re looking at a news article. Look here instead:
