Nope, just observing one of the Ten Commandments.
I never back wanton destruction of other people’s property.
Find them and skin them alive.
“Above the Bronze Gates at Constantinople was a bronze icon of the Savior, which had been there for more than 400 years. In 730, the iconoclast Patriarch Anastasius ordered that the icon be destroyed.
“The Virgin Martyr Theodosia and other women rushed to protect the icon and toppled the ladder with the soldier who was carrying out the command. The women then stoned Patriarch Anastasius.
“Emperor Leo ordered the women to be beheaded. St. Theodosia, an ardent defender of icons, was thrown in prison. She was given one hundred lashes a day for over one week. On the eighth day, she was led through the city, being beaten along the way. Ultimately, one of the soldiers stabbed her in the throat with a ram’s horn.”
My question is what are we doing about it? Should individual churches have volunteers Guard the church? Invest in expensive security systems? Most churches can’t afford that.Because these godless nihilists will not stop at Catholic statues; they’re coming to destroy every church.
We either stop them now or become their servants.

Barbarians hate Civilization.

You’re absolutely right. It’s an attack on Christians of all faiths. These savages don’t give a damn about doctrinal differences. Catholic/Protestant means nothing; they want to exterminate us all. Catholic statues are obvious & easy targets; so are all churches.
How bout we start praying for each other?
Put on the armor of God. The battle is here. In our towns. In our churches.
how about we fight back?
In the ‘beat the dead horse’ column, how many of these Priests and Catholics stood back and said,
“OF course those Confederate Statues should be removed BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE”
When it comes to ‘mobs’ - especially ‘mobs’ backed by the ‘powers that be’ - when it comes to destruction it matters little where the statue or such may be, it is a target.
These mayors and governors who sat back and said ‘let THEM have their way’ are now having ‘kittens’ when the mob turns down their street.
Funny all these places that want to rid themselves of Police now think it is fine to pay twice as much for private security (THAT WE-THE PEOPLE- end up paying for PLUS pay for the Police)
Naturally these same cops that ‘backed down’ when ‘Aunt Hilda’ made a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of the ‘peaceful protestors’ who immediately began ‘peacefully’ breaking her windows and terrorizing her...these same ‘Cops’ who ended up writing HER a ticket for inciting a riot (by being there) will be wondering where ‘WE’ are when the mobs turn on them KNOWING they have the backing of the local Govt?
I realize that PDJT is trying to let this run the course BUT every time he ‘threatens’ to do something and doesn’t, it just wakes up a thousand more clowns.
‘We’ don’t read/follow our own examples ...
such as how ONE gun can disrupt an Army,
A journey of a thousand miles can’t start till you take the first step,
Death by a thousand cuts...etc etc
If the European Jews had shot or taken out the first Nazis rather than get on the ‘train/bus to get a shower’ things may very well have been different.
It is slowly creeping over us like kudzu.
Sadly, PDJT backed himself into a corner with Fauxi and his ‘assistant’ by heaping praise on them daily and allowing them to ‘oversee’ ruining the country.
Once it was found that a lot of his was speculation if not PURE BULLSHIFF, he was in so deep he couldn’t just ‘fire them’....to remove them from their Government Positions just makes them martyrs.
Think like how the FEMS are in ‘trouble’ when it comes to this cross gender crap....
For years ‘they’ have been telling ‘us’ that women were the equal to if not better than men in ALL fields of endeavor be it mental or physical.
Now that the ‘boys’ are showing up in girls sports they (the FEMs) can’t really openly strike out against them as it ruins years of preparation and propaganda.
Another GREAT reason why people shouldn’t be on school boards unless they have students in the District.
I really can’t imagine a whole bunch of FATHERS and MOTHERS allowing boys to use the same head as girls etc etc etc
Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
I’m in for both.
I do and will continue to pray, but I am not going to take it lying down.
This is not *turn the other cheek* territory.
False interpretation.
The statue is there to make us think of Jesus. I have photographs of my late parents, which help me to think of my parents, to recall memories.
Catholics do not worship statues of Jesus anymore than I worship these pictures of my departed parents.
