Hey narses. Someone left a statue of Mary at the RV Park that I manage when they left so I promptly smashed it to pieces with a hammer. Have you seen fit to prove you are not an idolater by doing something like that or will you forever look at those statues and realize that you are?
Yep more odd stuff from a poster who claims that Catholics are idolaters, that those who celebrate Easter and Christmas are pagans and that claims that the idea of church on Sunday is a man made tradition and apparently not either Christian or Biblical.
prove you are not an idolater … who claims that Catholics are idolaters..It was an interesting and somewhat humorous discussion of 'what is an idol'? a while back.
CB: do you remember your answer on that one?
Christmas is being attacked by athiests and some person feels the need to smash images of the Virgin Mary? The image of the woman who said YES! To God, and trusted even though she sufferred seeing the tortured death of her son. No suffering could be worse than that. God gave the world, our daughters, a beautiful example of what God expects in women, and the fact that we honor her, should not be so offensive. Looking at the examples of women “the world” gives us, Lady GAga, Hillary Clinton, Madonna, Lindsey Lohan, etc. I would say God knew what He was doing. If more mothers were selfless and sacrificing like Mary, the world wouldn’t be where it is today.
Some people must have absolutely no loved ones that past away and still look to their picture with gratitude and honor. Sad to think that they can’t keep a picture or image of someone they admire or love because they consider that idolatry. These people must have had such horrific childhoods that they have no one in heaven that they call on and remember in special moments, and that’s why they don’t understand. Poor people, pray for them.
I’m so grateful to God for the many gifts He has given our faith. When I walk by a Beloved Mother statue, with my baby, I remind her how special Jesus’ mother is, and with that reminder, the enemy doesn’t stand a chance. I have 4 girls, and 1 boy, my oldest girl is almost 17, no boyfriends yet and her goal is to get into Yale. Saints are role models for our children and very needed. They are humans that sufferred and overcame great difficulties and their stories allow our children to understand much about life and God. Thank you God.
