Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132: The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132) Because: 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: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1 Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956: The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956) Because it is Praying to the Dead. It is Necromancy: Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11 And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27 To put in a Nutshell, Being a Catholic is Antibiblical. Jesus Saves! Jesus is Lord.

​@@ayoolukoga9829 God is not against images per se. Understood correctly, it is the worship of idols that are spoken of here in the verses you cited. But before going biblical, let’s use logic first. Here's an analogy. Think of having pictures or images of someone you love. Do we not carry them around or have them somewhere to aid us in remembering them? Also, we have images of them because we love them. If we have picture or images of someone we love out of love, should we not have the picture or image of God whom we should love above anyone or everyone else? Think about it for a moment. I’m sure God, in his infinite wisdom and knowledge, would know that the target of worship is not the image itself but rather him. As a Catholic before images or a representation of God, I’ve never felt the urge to worship a piece of cloth or paper or wood. No, they are merely visual aids to help us fix our attention on our prayers, to avoid distractions, and to increase the fervor of our adoration of God - especially in case of crucifixes, which should constantly remind us of the love of the Triune God. I can’t see why that would be reprehensible, why God would be against that. The essence of idolatry is the worship of the creature rather than the Creator, which is not the case here. Now, let move on to biblical support. You cited Exodus 20. Do we read a Bible passage in isolation? There are a lot of apparent contradictions - not real, but just apparent contradictions - in the Bible, including this one with other Bible passages. So we have to reconcile and harmonize them, read within its context and alongside other parallel passages to ensure understanding of its true meaning. Israelites had the tendency to fall prey to idolatry, being in a polytheistic world. I would suggest that the prohibition is of idol worship, not a blanket prohibition of images. Some of the similar passage are Exodus 34:17 and Lev 3:4. If we are to understand it as blanket prohibition against images, even if it is in religious context, that would contradict other Bible verses. 5 chapters later, God commands Moses to carve statues for a religious purpose: two cherubim which would sit atop the Ark of the Covenant. See *Exodus 25:18-20.* God indeed welcomes sacred images. Solomon placed many images in the Temple. *(See 1 Kings **6:23**-29).* Solomon even went further, placing images of animals on objects used for Temple worship: The bronze basin “stood on figures of twelve oxen” *(1 Kings **7:25**).* In fact, instead of forbidding images, God commanded the setting up of a bronze serpent, a carved or graven image, to be used for prayer to God for healing *(Num 21:6-9).* Significantly, this a prophetic figure of Christ on the Cross as testified by the Church Fathers. So, it’s not just an image, it even prefigures Christ. You only have to look at it and be healed, the Scripture says. Now, let's move on to *Nicea II.* This matter was settled, once and for all, in the second Council of Nicea in 787, both accepted by the East and the West, before the Great Schism, and before the Protestant movement, when the entire Christendom was still united. We have to recall that Jesus Christ promised to send us the Paraclete, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to guide us into all truth *(John 16:13).* Are we so little of faith that we can’t hold to the promise of Christ or to the work of the Holy Spirit? The united Church has spoken, composed of bishops, the successors of the Apostles, to whom Jesus Christ also mandated that we have to listen to: Whoever listens to you, listens to me; whoever rejects you, rejects me; whoever rejects me, rejects him who sent me *(Luke 10:16).* The praying to saints is an even simpler topic to address, that it's not even worth bothering. Just google it. And I disagree. It is Protestantism that is anti-biblical, which is ironical, given its Sola Scriptura belief.

Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132: The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132) Because: 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: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1 Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956: The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956) Because it is Praying to the Dead. It is Necromancy: Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11 And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

he is a catholic NOT A CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIANS TALK ABOUT JESUS - HE DID NOT MENTION JESUS NOT EVEN ONE TIME.

Seeing Mark giving such an authentic testimony makes me feel great admiration for him. He is one of the few Hollywood superstars capable of putting his deep faith before his career or prestige. Jim Caviezel is also a great example of Christian coherence. Mark is an excellent actor, a great family man, and an honest person who deserves recognition not only from his fans but also from the industry. I want to congratulate him and tell him that I pray for him and his family with affection so that he remains faithful to the Lord and feels strengthened in his heart.

Love the Ash Mark!! No matter the religion, under God we all walk.......belief and faith, what else do we have! Good talk, and way to explain on why we don't cram religion down peoples throats but we don't deny our religion and faith. God Bless....everyone!

I was pleasantly surprised to find the Today Show featuring Mark Wahlberg talking so boldly yet simply about our beautiful Catholic Faith! Inspirational! I already knew about Mark’s faith but didn’t expect to see it main stream. We need to see more of this across the board! May God reward you!🙏🙏🙏

@@ayoolukoga9829 God is not against images per se. Understood correctly, it is the worship of idols that are spoken of here in the verses you cited. But before going biblical, let’s use logic first. Here's an analogy. Think of having pictures or images of someone you love. Do we not carry them around or have them somewhere to aid us in remembering them? Also, we have images of them because we love them. If we have picture or images of someone we love out of love, should we not have the picture or image of God whom we should love above anyone or everyone else? Think about it for a moment. I’m sure God, in his infinite wisdom and knowledge, would know that the target of worship is not the image itself but rather him. As a Catholic before images or a representation of God, I’ve never felt the urge to worship a piece of cloth or paper or wood. No, they are merely visual aids to help us fix our attention on our prayers, to avoid distractions, and to increase the fervor of our adoration of God - especially in case of crucifixes, which should constantly remind us of the love of the Triune God. I can’t see why that would be reprehensible, why God would be against that. The essence of idolatry is the worship of the creature rather than the Creator, which is not the case here. Now, let move on to biblical support. You cited Exodus 20. Do we read a Bible passage in isolation? There are a lot of apparent contradictions - not real, but just apparent contradictions - in the Bible, including this one with other Bible passages. So we have to reconcile and harmonize them, read within its context and alongside other parallel passages to ensure understanding of its true meaning. Israelites had the tendency to fall prey to idolatry, being in a polytheistic world. I would suggest that the prohibition is of idol worship, not a blanket prohibition of images. Some of the similar passage are Exodus 34:17 and Lev 3:4. If we are to understand it as blanket prohibition against images, even if it is in religious context, that would contradict other Bible verses. 5 chapters later, God commands Moses to carve statues for a religious purpose: two cherubim which would sit atop the Ark of the Covenant. See *Exodus 25:18-20.* God indeed welcomes sacred images. Solomon placed many images in the Temple. *(See 1 Kings **6:23**-29).* Solomon even went further, placing images of animals on objects used for Temple worship: The bronze basin “stood on figures of twelve oxen” *(1 Kings **7:25**).* In fact, instead of forbidding images, God commanded the setting up of a bronze serpent, a carved or graven image, to be used for prayer to God for healing *(Num 21:6-9).* Significantly, this a prophetic figure of Christ on the Cross as testified by the Church Fathers. So, it’s not just an image, it even prefigures Christ. You only have to look at it and be healed, the Scripture says. Now, let's move on to *Nicea II.* This matter was settled, once and for all, in the second Council of Nicea in 787, both accepted by the East and the West, before the Great Schism, and before the Protestant movement, when the entire Christendom was still united. We have to recall that Jesus Christ promised to send us the Paraclete, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to guide us into all truth *(John 16:13).* Are we so little of faith that we can’t hold to the promise of Christ or to the work of the Holy Spirit? The united Church has spoken, composed of bishops, the successors of the Apostles, to whom Jesus Christ also mandated that we have to listen to: Whoever listens to you, listens to me; whoever rejects you, rejects me; whoever rejects me, rejects him who sent me *(Luke 10:16).* The praying to saints is an even simpler topic to address, that it's not even worth bothering. Just google it. And I disagree. It is Protestantism that is anti-biblical, which is ironical, given its Sola Scriptura belief.
