Second, you post the actual Bible phrasing yet ignore it entirely, preferring instead to twist the Word of God to not say it seemed good to the Holy Spirit to tell the new converts to abstain from blood! With that track record for dissembling, what comes next? Mary idolatry?
LOL. A rhetorical question, I assume, since they have been doing Mary Idolatry for centuries.
As you know, worship of the queen of Heaven, started with Nimrod, his wife Semiramis, and Tammuz the son, the unholy trinity. I don’t know if Nimrod was a proper name, or maybe it was a title, or job description. I don’t know who killed Nimrod. It might have been Shem. When God confused the languages, at the Tower of Babel, the people scattered, but they took the worship of Semiramis with them. Other names, in different languages, and cultures, were Isis, Demeter, Astarte, Diana (of the Ephesians) I don’t know if the Israelis actually had a name for the queen of Heaven, but maybe it was Astarte.
Now, of course, the pagan worship of the queen of Heaven, is Mary. It’s part idolatry, it’s part necromancy, and it’s 💯% evil. I am glad I gave it up.
PS: the sign of the cross, was T for Tammuz, and his symbol, was the evergreen 🌲 tree (Christmas tree)
