Many Protestant groups have Biblical art - stained glass or pictures of Biblical events, etc. I’ve yet to see them adored, kissed touched, prayed to, etc. Those kinds of things are viewed by Protestants as idols that are substituted for God.

Catholics can’t deny that the RCC has incorporated pagan practices into its practices. The RCC itself admits that it does. The RCC refuses to hear the words of the Lord.

CB I am pinging A more perfect union in on this. I am going to sit back with a bowl of popcorn and let the two of you settle this. I mean if it is bad for the Catholics how much worse is it for protestants to do the exact same thing (Plus snake handling, Homosexual marriages, and priestesses).

Is there something about *Protestants don't have priests* that is too hard to understand?

Now where did you ever get the idea that I defend the practices of the Protestant churches? The Protestant churches are after all the “daughters” of the RCC. The retain many of the pagan practices, rituals, and holy days of the RCC.

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Viewing art and worshipping, “adoring”, kissing, etc. are two vastly different things. I’ve yet to see a Protestant bow before artwork, kiss it, etc. In other words, they do not “do the exact same thing”.

I can only assume that (perhaps) you believe all Protestants are identical? Only the Anglicans (designed as Catholicism Lite) have priests that I know about. The rest of Protestants have nothing similar that I know about. So I will leave them to the side. Of course there are Protestant groups that support homos - just read Revelation and you will see Christ is perfectly capable of removing their lampstand. We just separate from the cancer here on earth. He will take care of those groups.

By the way, I may be wrong, but the only snake handlers that exist are back in the mountains. Maybe you have a few hundred? At least they have one passage of scripture to support their practice...

Best
