Protestants will chastise Catholics for using images, meanwhile during Christmas they’ll set up a nativity scene.

Meanwhile, in NC, thousands pray ND kneel in front of the Billy Graham statue.

[Zombotron]

The staff of Moses was also destroyed because people were worshipping it so there’s that to consider

[andrewwinslow]

In Protestantism, They view Veneration as Worship.

[annmaria]

For the catholics, holy mass is the true worship. Worshipping God in spirit and truth. “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

bro feels like your video is getting people into catholicsm instead of sharing the gospel, religion doesnt matter only the truth matter and we both know the truth is in the bible

[alishatruemper]

I am so tired of answering this question. Every time a protestant learns you are Catholic, the have to ask.

[flynnrider]

It also says don’t bow to them either. And you genuflect to them. Define genuflect for me.

Why do people pray to the idols and worship them? Its not veneration it's worship if you pray to

[crispymormon]

“Guys guys guys, we dont worship idols! We just kneel before them, pray to them, and sacrifice incense to them! Totally not idolatry!”

[LiamMurray]

What I’ve heard people say about icons is that they are illustrated gospels.

[GirloftheValley-]

Idols are things that take you away from Christ, like your cell phone or smokes. Not too many people carving golden calves these days, use discernment or pray for some

[saucysos]

You realize all those biblical commands to make stuff were back when Judaism was henotheistic and believed in multiple gods right? That’s a pretty awful defense.

Find the one thing that really matters: ❤SALVATION ❤ John 3:3
Jesus replied,  “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]” Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord, ” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,  you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Doctor? Are You an M..D.? Question -- why do you venerate the Poster of The human anatomical chart Over your Left shoulder, please? Respectfully submitted for your 😢 Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis

[KidOfRocknRoll]

As an ex-Catholic this is the simplest and most concise explanation ever.

Respect.

[infxrnalsylvan]

But those images aren’t of Christ Mary or the Saints. If you don’t have 100% proof of what they look like why would you respect it? For example, according to scientific evidence it’s been concluded Jesus was brown not white, and you Catholics and Orthdoxists venerate the white Jesus.

[Pablo-gldj]

What a word salad.
Statues of Mary are prayed to and if that is not worship then praying to God isn't worship either.

[elchamo]

Well if this is true you might want to send the memo to 90% of practicing catholics, I see Marian worship ALL the time.

[alexmartinez]

bro you brought up examples in the Bible and didn't explain veneration towards
