Veneration is an honor given to image which is transferred to its prototype.Venerating an image of Christ n Mary dsn't terminate at d image itself- d material of d image isn't d object of worship- rather it goes beyond d image,to d prototype.(Ex 25:18-22;Num 21:9). And this dsn't fall under idolatry- worship of empty idols: buddha,calf,eagle,etc. Also,DEVOTION is one form of a sacrifice n faith.

That's one creepy graven image. An abomination to God w/o a doubt. It is sad to note how educated people are so ignorant when it comes to things like this.So sad.

Bible reading is not encouraged by the powers behind the catholic c.that's the reason why billions are being deceived and are ignorantly doing things that God hates. and oh, it's really hard to share the truth to those who have made up their mind and don't have the time to read the bible.but for sure there are sincere Catholics out there who truly love God. . .for sure in time they will seek for the truth.I just pray they won't run out of time.

@rolly808 God is not interested in our worship unless it is done in obedience to His Word. If you are a devout Catholic, I implore you to meditate on the second commandment. May God give you the wisdom to see the veneration of statues and saints for what it really is, that you may repent from idolatry and begin to worship God in spirit and truth.

@rolly808 Similarly the bronze serpent was a picture of Christ dying on the cross (Numbers 21:8,9; John 3:14,15), but the people of Israel were never told to pray or bow down before it. When in course of time they did that, the godly king Hezekiah smashed it to pieces (2 Kings 18:3,4).

@rolly808 But the people of Israel were not called to bow down before them or serve them. God never intended that the cherubims should be venerated by praying and bowing down before them, and indeed they were hardly ever seen by the people of Israel as they were hid in the Holy of Holies.

@rolly808 God defines idolatry as the making of images, bowing down and serving them. God does not prohibit art or sculpture. For example, God commanded the making of golden cherubims and a bronze serpent (Exodus 25:18-20, Numbers 21:8-9). But the people of Israel were not called to bow down before them or serve them.
