have seen it myself. Many non-Catholics have their Bibles in shrines. They have vases with flowers next to them, some have candles next to them. I know what I have seen with my own eyes. Jimmy Swaggert himself on television gripping his bible for it was worth. Praying to it "God Help me I am a sinner, Lord I am a weak man." When I lived up north I saw Oral Roberts in person hold a Bible up and tell the crowd they would find God in there. Don't deny it, maybe you aren't, but many others worship the Bible and that makes them idolaters. Any one that kneels down with a Bible in their hand and prays is an idolater.

That is absurd! And RCs criticize Prots for misunderstanding or misrepresenting beliefs. The Jews were commanded to give great honor to the word of God (This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night... (Joshua 1:8) And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. - Deuteronomy 6:8) ), but gripping a bible and praying "God Help me I am a sinner, Lord I am a weak man" is not praying to it(!), nor is Oral Roberts (even) telling a crowd they would find God in the Bible talking about it like the Caths do about the Eucharist, but that one "finds" Moses, and the prophets, and Christ in Scripture as in reading the pure word of God, by which faith comes and thus "finding" God salvifically.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27)

That is absurd!

Not only is it absurd, it is downright hypocritical for the non-Catholics to criticize Catholics when they are guilty of the exact same thing. And RCs criticize Prots for misunderstanding or misrepresenting beliefs.

Well if you would believe us when we tell you what we believe or do it wouldn't be a problem would it. The ball as always is in your court.
