I myself couldn't accept it,as I don't disagree with you!
And that is exactly the reason I want nothing to do with their beliefs, the arrogance and telling us how false we are.

I myself couldn't accept it,as I don't disagree with you!I put my hand out in peace yesterday SEVERAL pages ago, and ONE person accepted it...accpeted the agree to disagree. And people wonder why I don't want anything to do with their believes.
do you think you need to talk to someone to honour them? Explain why? that's a foreign thought to me.
For instance, in marriage, I HONOUR my wife by not looking at another woman. Do I tell her "Hey, guess what, I saw a pretty lady today, but didn't look at her!
I honour my parents by not disrespecting them. Do I say, hey, Mom... I've been respectful to you today! I'm honouring you!
Just my take.
No, I do not speak with departed saints, I don't believe that it is even possible.
thanks for clarifying.
Ah, opposing viewpoints don't bother me at all. I just don't like sniping.
I didn't think that was the purpose. I am just as comfortable in church full of statues as one without any.For the record, and this is for all of the Catholics out there, I don't care if you use statues. I mean that in nicest way possible. I mean, I don't agree with them, but really it's none of my business. It's between you and God. So, what I'm trying to say is you have one less Protestant trying to change your mind about them. It's not my thing, but then again what business is it of mine anyway? I just want to agree to disagree and live and let live. Sorry for the tired cliches but they fit for this situation.
What is the biblical term for Honor?
and seeing as it isn't possible to engage in that interaction with someone not present on earth, I fail to see the point.Do you think we shouldn't?
To give honor TO the person, how do you do so if you don't communicate with them?
There is a difference between honoring someone, and giving honor TO them . . . To give honor TO someone, you have to be engaged with that person in some fashion . .
It is one thing to give honor to the memory of someone . . it is quite a different thing to give honor TO the person . . .
I think you are confusing the two . . .
of course not. It's an example. Not the entirety. I'm not married just yet, btw... not till later this year.TLF said:Is that all you do to honor your wife? Could you truly be saying you honor your wife if that is all you do?
Okay thank you.. Tee hee.. Jeopardy.. hhhmm could be.. lolUh is this Jeopardy?
Answer: I believe the word is revere, Alex...uh I mean Iamadopted, lol!
Thank you FrauleinElsa,
See folks she does not care for using statues as a devotional tool but she also knows that God is the one who can read a persons heart and it is up to Him to judge. I do not care if she uses a statue to help with devotions. Catholics do not say you HAVE to use statues. We have a lot of history with religous art, some younger churches might not have that shared history, you notice that it is only the very young churches that seem to have a big problem with statues?
I simply want to question RCC members on what appears to be error, most tellingly the crushing of the snake, the Mary teaching Christ scripture, and the overwhelming amount of attention paid to Mary in statuettes... as opposed to Jesus.
Any thoughts?
Honor:I thought that the word Honor was to respect..
I thought that the word Honor was to respect..
I believe it's been pointed out, however, that it was forbidden for a woman to teach the scriptures?I am not Catholic, but I was for about 20 years.
That being said, Rhamiel explained the head crushing one.
Mary teaching Christ...
I'm assuming she did teach Him to read etc.
Mary getting more attention than Jesus?
Dunno.
You might want to look at the online Catholic stores and then you can see for yourself if it's disproportionate.
My mother always had a little statue on our dashboard of I think it was St Christopher, which she said offered protection for us in travel.
Why ?Those elders one bows down to are alive on earth. Difference.
I believe it's been pointed out, however, that it was forbidden for a woman to teach the scriptures?
It's an error, albeit a rather innocous one.

kabad (Strong's 03513) occurs 121 times in 109 verses:Honour your father and your mother:
"Honour"H3513כּבד כּבדkâbad kâbêdkaw-bad, kaw-bade'A primitive root; to be heavy, that is, in a bad sense (burdensome, severe, dull) or in a good sense (numerous, rich, honorable); causatively to make weighty (in the same two senses): - abounding with, more grievously afflict, boast, be chargeable, X be dim, glorify, be (make) glorious (things), glory, (very) great, be grievous, harden, be (make) heavy, be heavier, lay heavily, (bring to, come to, do, get, be had in) honour (self), (be) honourable (man), lade, X more be laid, make self many, nobles, prevail, promote (to honour), be rich, be (go) sore, stop."respect" is a very limiting in modern western thinking . . .. it does not do the word "honour" justice. . ..
