What a lovely icon.
I knew when I saw this title it would have some very nice pictures. And I agree Ciexyz that is beautiful.
More idol worship from the Catholic cults! Straight from the people that "venerate dead people's bones and plastic statues, and claim to worship Jesus, but want to give more emphasis to their dead goddess, (who is nothing like the Scriptural Mary).
Good luck with that!
Mark 7: 6 He replied, Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to
human traditions.
And he continued, You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and, Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. 11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God) 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.
Ah, the irony of posting this on a thread posted by and for Eastern Orthodox Christianity (considering they split from the Catholic Church nearly a millennium ago)
We an all learn something positive while checking out the religious expression of other denominations.
**More idol worship from the Catholic cults! **
Not! Please check your history.
FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Orthodox_Church
But, nothing that refutes my claim. Catholics and EO follow similar error in theology. This is a major one!
<p?There is NO Scripture that establishes this meme!
Clearly JR banning 4 hateful zealots wasnt clearly enough.
Note the s on the end of the word "cult", and the others based on fallacious manmade religion. It is error and leads to destruction!
FRiend, you may believe whatever you wish, but I will continue to post Scriptural responses to heresy!
Call the waaaaahhhmbulance!
Evangelical Protestants and Mormons both follow similar error in theology in teaching that Christianity was "corrupted" for over a millennium by honoring the saints and Mary, until they showed up in the last few centuries to "restore" it to its "original" intent. So even though Evangelical Protestants and Mormons are totally separate religious traditions, perhaps I should write "More nonscene from Mormon cults!" every time there's an evangelical protestant thread about salvation through faith alone.
You can write whatever you wish, but that doesn't make it true! I can show you "faith alone" in Scripture! You can't show me where anybody should bow down to idols or make plastic statues to help sell a house!
Catholicism teaches mystical and superstitious nonsense in the light of God's Word! I'll trust God's Holy Spirit to lead me on the path!
Revelations 18: 12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.
17 The Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one who hears say, Come! Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, Yes, I am coming soon.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with Gods people. Amen.
Ah, yes. You did try that tact, didn't you. Not worth my time, but I can't resist when I read trite responses.
Yes we do. I need to learn more / going to church this Sunday
No I’m never passive....nice try though.
Trite = hateful.....but you wont see it that way.
I just use words that mean what I intend... and make the proper statement...
Maybe you could learn from them!
From M-W Dictionary online:
trite: : not interesting or effective because of being used too often : not fresh or original
Me too...that’s why I used the word hate....I know it when I see it....no matter how you like to dress it up.
