Can you visualize Apostle Peter kneeling before a statue of Mary confessing his sins to it ? |
absurd, and quite contrary to all that is written in the Bible.
statues do not hear any more than the characters they're made to
represent. yet, just as the pagans of old who surrounded themselves
with many gods, there are those today who call themselves Christian
but pray to many gods, keeping statues of them, prostrating themselves
before these idols, summoning the characters they supposedly
represent.
demonology is built upon giving life and meaning to inanimate
representations of the things worshipped. the subject holds the view
that the idol character is superior to them and is of divine origin,
able to grant favors, remove sin; is present all the time listening,
watching, caring.
interestingly enough, these demon idols of plastic and plaster are
set out on lawns with the most adored idol sitting atop looking down
on it's subjects... models exactly similar to demon worship in
" High Places " spoken of so prominently in the Scriptures.
the people doing such things are certainly not students of the Bible
and doubtfully have ever read the Bible. this would mean that in Eph.
2:2 where the abode of Satan is " in " the sons of disobedience, he
has moved these to idol worship having taught them directly... these
do not know that " High Places " are the worship sites of Satan other
than by revelation from him.
even if these did read their Bibles and find that Satan worship is
conducted in High Places, the practice would not be abandoned.
it must be concluded then, that the chief Papist in Rome is completely
under the subjection of Satan since he is the shinning example of the
shinning one, never repenting of the machinations so clearly spoken of
by God in the Holy Scriptures as sin.

But how far away must one be to avoid a claim of "kneeling before a
statue"? 2 feet? 10 feet? Across the room? Another part of town?
Kneeling before and kneeling to are two different things. No Catholic
kneels to a statue.
