Well then by logical extension, any time I have seen a protestant kneeling in prayer holding their Bible we can safely conclude that they are worshipping the Bible. Going strictly by appearances and the rules you have established, it is the only logical conclusion.
The mess the world is in some guy will pop up and say “Hey, I can fix everything” if only you’d do as I say. He’d be so charismatic governments will fall all over themselves to give him the power he needs and I bet it’d involved the UN.
In 2 Thess 2, where Paul is explaining to the folks that they cannot be in the Day of The Lord period because certain things that he taught them would hallmark that time have not occurred. That is not saying that certain things must occur before the Rapture, it is saying certain things will occur before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.
The doctrine of imminence is an aspect best not ignored, since Jesus taught it, Peter taught it, and other Apostles appear to have taught it, even Paul. The meaning of imminence is not to be taken as soon, rather it is a notion that something can happen completely without an announcement or sign of it, as in 'the next thing that will happen sometime from now to then'. The Rapture ends the Church Age that Paul referred to as a dispensation of Grace.
We are told to watch, be alert, anticipate His imminent arrival for us. Paul was not telling the folks to be alert for the arrival of antichrist, he was telling them that they could not be in the Day of The Lord because there are specific things which will happen before that Day is present.

If you see any one offering prayers to the Bible as catholics do as noted at this website http://www.marypages.com/PrayerstoMary.htm or making images of the Bible and bowing down to it as catholics do Mary then you may have an argument.
Instead, your argument sounds like a third grader doing something they shouldn't who has been caught by the teacher and when asked for an explanation they cry out I'm not the only one doing it!
Daniel1212's post must have really hit home.
Those pigeons must still be having a field day on the chess board.
Wow...again with the name calling.
What do some catholics and obama have in common?
very, very thin skin.
and this is EXACTLY how the anti-Catholics sound to the Catholics.
Your hypocrisy is showing in your very own post.
Checkmate.
I did deny and it and proved that non-Catholics worship their bibles. Your own comments prove that non-Catholics are nothing more than idolaters.
Nobody knows when. It’s up to us to be diligent.
Amen to that!
You’ve proven nothing. You offered no evidence to support your claim whereas Christians can easily point out numerous examples of catholics worshiping Mary n
.
Exactly!
Those that are in the know, know. Politicians, liberals and the Hollyweird bunch won’t.
Figures you hate the Rapture, you government stooge you.
Stop thread jumping or I’ll report you.
