Okay then. Go ahead and bow, pray, worship your idols.

My response was to this statement "That’s it, that’s the idea: this very quote. The law of Moses, so solemnly proclaimed to the Jews — to circumcise men, to stay away form pork, etc — was lifted by a sovereign decision of the Church.

And I have read in previous comment(s) that the "old laws" were thrown out, so I posted scripture from the New Testament showing that we're still not allowed to worship idols, statues, images, etc.

Show me where the NT says that making holy images is the same as worshipping "idols, statues, images."

Go ahead and bow, pray, worship your idols.

I'd suggest avoiding saying false things about me.

Your secular education seems as lacking as your religious education. Look up and compare the the words idol and symbol and the words worship, pray and venerate. When you are done tell us why your statement wasn't just plain stupid.

Your silence will be an admission of stupidity and an act of contrition.

You left out a biggie ..Matt 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

. Gods law is still full in effect

Thank God for grace
