It is noteworthy that there is not a single instance of Paul recommending anyone pray to crucifixes, or any other physical representation of God
Is that not a recommendation?
O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you? (Galatians 3:1)So the Holy Image of Christ is something that convicts us of error; to which His elects are to be comfortable; to which we are ourselves transformed. But all that we are to accomplish without praying because one Protestant whiner or another does not feel at ease with the idea?
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren (Romans 8:29)
we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18)
I didn't even go to the trouble to read the rest of your screed. ANd I won't.
Go praY TO A STICK.
