Roman Catholicism is in a class all its own since the detrimental acceptance of relics and icon worship given in the 8th century.
(Now, I am making a huge distinction between Roman Catholics and Protestants here. Those who hold to the position of accepting images and pictures of Christ as “harmless” do so with little effort. One of the more “touchy” issues in the contemporary church today is the controversy over images or pictures of Jesus Christ. Yet, even with such information at our beck and call, modern Christendom continues to believe repackaged lies that contribute to its degradation and deter it from its needed reformation. With such a wealth of information at our fingertips you would think that the church at large would learn from its mistakes, or at least become aware of why they believe what they do in light of the history of the church. Any Christian can set themselves for one hour in front of their computer and access millions of pages of text, treatises, sermons, books, and tracts on various religious subjects by CD-Rom or the Internet. But the mere fact that heresy and error plague the church in light of the “age of information” is astounding. Citing them could take quite some time in a paper dedicated all its own to the task. There are a number reasons for why this is the case. Notation: Here are quotes, on a separate page, through the history of the church on idolatry and the second commandment – “Seeing Jesus”.Ĭhristendom has a bad habit of continually reenacting historical mistakes. A look at what defiles us in the second commandment.
