“ God tells us: “You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or worship them”
.....
“In the shape of anything”
“You shall not bow down before them”
Mary
And I condemn Hoochie-mama
Yesterday I was listening to Relevant Radio (full disclosure: I’m an LCMS music director), and the commentators seemed caught between a idolatrous rock and an ecclesiastical hard place. They were clearly opposed to the pagan idols being in any way associated with the synod, but they couldn’t bring themselves to criticize Pope Francis for allowing it, and not stopping it. Seems to me that the Vatican needs another Wittenberg.
Images, idols, crosses, golden cups, fancy outfits . . .
Have NOTHING to do with one’s relationship to G-d.
Get your minds right folks.
Dump the multi-million dollar palaces, the golden goblets, the over paid and powdered, over protected, over indulged psuedo-leaders.
Talk to G-d. He is there, at every minute to hear you. Tell your family and neighbors about YOUR faith.
If we’re lucky, we get 100 years.
Then we are JUDGED by the only one that counts.
“We’re all dying. Act accordingly.”
Pope Frank and these statues are a symptom, not a cause.
The moment the word of men became anything but completely subservient to the Word of God, the heresy was planted.
I heard someone on ewtn say. It was a crime against man to take the status out of the church but it was a crime against God to put it in there.
