[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18.29 - but please explain to me (I'm asking nicely, no snark) why 1) the necessity of the body of Christ on the cross and on necklaces; 2) the statues that do indeed adorn Catholic churches- I do see these as graven images; 3) the Saints - no mention in the bible; 4) the adoration or worship or whatever you want to call it of Mary - also not in the ible so I just don't get it - people says she's "revered not worshipped" - I don't undersand the difference; 5) and how do the saints and Mary intercede?  That's not in the bible either.  I guess I don't buy Transsubstantiation either so I'm probably a hopeless protestant but am curious.

Not sure what bible you've been reading but everything you say isn't in the bible absolutely is. [/quote]
Please provide citations then. I know the Bible very well. Catholic theology is filled with things that cannot be substantiated Biblically.[/quote]

Different pp.  Why is the Bible your only source?  Who are the people who chose the books in the Bible?  And aren't those the same people who decided on the veneration of Mary, the saints, and iconography as part of the Christian tradition?  Why do you accept tradition in the form of the Bible but not those other things? [/quote]
