This might apply to many of the folks in our churches who profess to be christians. I am not sure how you can use this scripture to make your point. This scripture talks about people who know God but they do not glorify God, and the RC folks that I know recognize and glorify God as far above them and recognize that He is the creator of the whole universe. Let us not be so quick to proclaim them not of God. Let's let God do that. |

Please read what is written in Romans 1:18-32. |

Again I ask why we are so concerned with what other folks practice when it is clear that working on the practice of love is and would be the best thing. Jesus said to love one another, do we or don't we. We argue and we have our convictions but are we in love? This is the first commandment. |

Is the question about "kissing some statue" or, and, why do we care? Why don't we as followers of Christ just love others and when others see that we do that then they will want what we have and give up the stuff that is not filled with or has nothing to do with love. People are all looking for relationship and will work at it in the way they know. |

I returned to my question to find many interesting things. First, I do not post under any name but mima. And next, the answer to this question is Islam, and Helen is right it is a big black stone that they kiss. And people who have never seen Catholics kit statues have really had their eyes closed!! |

If I kiss my bible I still don't expect it to answer my prayers. many RCC wouldn't either but many do and you do nothing to persuade them not to.
The RCC puts up more statues and gives Mary more venerate names as if the more she is worshiped the more they set the stage for that worship. All the while saying no we don't worship her -- only heretics do that.
Heretics and children and the uneducated - 80% of Catholics would be in those categories. |

Gordon::SO, what is your concensus Is it false or Not your answer is undecided!!!Remember His opponents crucified Him on the basis that HE was False. But they did not understand."Father forgive them for they know not what they do"DO YOU? |

it is not false .
Catholic is another word for universal.
Christ is the root of it.
Without Christ there is no Catholic Church, which is Christian. |

Mima, is it the Moslem religion? They have a stone in Mecca which they pilgrim to and kiss it. Forgot what it is called. |

I kiss the photos of my dead Mother and Father. I kiss photos of my children who are far away from me.
Mima, the prophet, main target is to denigrate the Catholics. He may be better off if he asks God to forgive his sins of hatred. |

As long as it is a FALSE RELIGION it should be rebuked or "bashed". That is if it claims to be of the One and True GOD! The true Saints of GOD should call whatever is false, FALSE! It is the duty of the Saints to expose such FALSEHOOD. :-O The souls of mankind ARE AT STAKE!!! |

Well, Helen, you are right ... but everyone also has the freedom to wonder about the motivation for the question. |

Apparently, jack, you've not been to Italy.
The toes are rubbed off many of the marble statues there, from people kissing and rubbing them like a good luck charm. |

Mima, like everybody else here, has the freedom to ask whatever questions he likes. |

Truly, Mima is not the same person..He bashes the SDAs on another forum then come on this one to bash the catholics..then go on another to bash the mormons..and JWs..The same person blogs exactly the same way as Lee n Andrea..isnt it odd?.. |

Blessings to all, I have seen people kiss Queen Elizabeth's hand, husbands and wives kiss each other. As far as the Catholic's kissing statues, this I have not heard of, but, then again, I do not know much about the Catholic beliefs as well. God loves everyone in that while we were still sinners, He sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for the sins of the world. God Bless friends! |

Kissing statues is strange yes, but no less than 'other' sectarians groups activities such as, Waving arms in the air screaming gibberish. Burning books. Cognative dissonance to protect faith, and most of all, believing babies, born in sin can burn below if they die. Compared to those things, statue kissing is nothing at all. Its about people who live in theological glass houses should not throw stones. |

Yes ... BTC
Sad isn't it.
There are difference between all denominations, with differeng perceptions of things like tongues, Mary, answers to prayer, health, worship day, tithing, baptism & style thereof, music, creation time, freewill, rapture, trinity, and so much more.
I don't agree with much RCC doctrine & practice, but why is there this great need to BTC? |

As long as pop-evangelicals say prayers to pieces of cloth, so long will Mima be in no position to say that Roman Catholics kiss statues. |

Mima::In lighter vein I could could ans. your 2 ?'s, But you would never do it.But as it's an old custom Feed the catholics to the lions as in the days of the Ampitheater.Jack you are so perceptive.Kiss My ??? oops Mima, my, you should know better. |

---Emcee on 11/21/07 |
I've seen pop-evangelicals kiss pictures of their loved ones.
Once more, Mima starts another round of Bash the Catholics.
(BTW, I've never seen any Roman Catholic kiss a statue. So how is "everyone aware"?) |

I've seen many people kiss their Bibles. I don't know why that' seems okay whent he others are not. Here's something interesting. An idol is not just an inanimate religious object. According to Col.3:5 it's anything I want but am not allowed to have. '....covetousness,which is idolatry." |

Mima: Isn't it a sin to be contentious and stir up strife? That is what you appear to be doing with this particular question. Please explain. It would appear that you are bored and need something to do. |
