Filipinos Seek Miracles From Statue
[Filipinos Seek Miracles From Statue | Proclaiming
the Gospel Ministries] "An estimated 1.5 million Filipinos sought to press up
against a centuries-old statue of Christ that was marched through the streets of
Manila during a Roman Catholic celebration
called the Feast of the Black Nazarene. Over 200 Catholics were injured seeking
to touch the wood carving of Jesus on the belief that it possesses healing
powers or can bring good fortune. The carving, known as the Black Nazarene for
the figure's dark complexion, is believed to have been brought from Mexico to
Manila in the 1600's. For the past 200 years, millions have flooded the streets
during the annual feast day.
This year was no exception, as some walked barefoot to
show penance. Over 80 percent of Filipinos are Catholic.

[Mike Gendron Comment] ...There are so many precious
souls who are indoctrinated by a false religion that promotes the worship of
statues, idols, and false christs. Only the truth of God's Word can set them
free from this religious bondage."

Whenever I hear a person make a dichotomy between 'religion' vs 'God's
Word', I automatically presume that there is simply something arbitrary or
screwed up in your theology...
There's nothing wrong with Gendron's theology.

How is this idolatry?
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to
them, nor serve them (Ex 20:4–5).

historical churches aren't splintered into thousands of sects, YOU ALL
are...
Are you a member of the
Roman Catholic brothel (Jud 11).

...[H]ow is a statue of Christ idolatrous? Is a cross idolatry? People kneel
in front of those.
Ask the Holy Spirit. I would not bow down to a carved
image of Jesus Christ. You will note--he is no longer on the cross.
Catholics
honor Satan and his love for death not the living Lord. They are big on:
stealing, killing and destroying (Eccl
10:2,
Jn 10:10);
but, not so big on being led by the spirit (Ro
8:14).

An excellent point. Christ is not on the cross. So why kneel to
an empty cross?
I don’t. Do you?
That seems more empty logically than an Image of Christ.
What about ‘don’t make or bow to images’ don’t you
get?
Ex. 20:1–5
How do Catholics honor Satan?
In their wicked mass.

No Sacrifice
Please provide examples of Catholics being "big on stealing,
killing, and destroying."

Bowing to statue is not idolatry.

[Testify against idolatry
Acts 14:15] The repeated blasphemous abuse of scripture is far worse
than bowing to anything...

TULIP, and has remained that way for the past five centuries. One is not
being tossed to and fro with that...
Good luck with that Greek pagan.

Please describe how the mass is wicked?
They bow down to a false christ (Matt.
24:4-5,
24).
What makes your point interesting is that Satanists have a ball mass, which
is a "perversion of the catholic mass." So why would a Satanist blaspheme
something that is already blasphemous?
Satan loves Catholicism (Jud
11) and Satanism (Lk
4:6–8;
2 Thess 2:3,
4). He doesn’t care which lie you believe.
That doesn't make logical or rational sense. Would they not promote the
catholic mass if it is already wicked, rather than oppose it?
They probably think that Catholics are Christians.
