THE POPE IS GOD [VICAR/CHRIST ON EARTH], THEREFORE WORSHIPING WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU, IS WORSHIPING HIM!!! [BTW: AS THE VICAR OF CHRIST IS, IN FACT, HIS HIGHPIMPNESS, THE POPE, IS CEO OF ALL RELIGIOUS FRANCHISES ..INCLUDING THE CHURCH TO WHICH YOU BELONG!!!] YADIG?!!? Why does Rome not care what it is? Well, from the perspective of Roman theology, which teaches the Pope is GOD, nothing the Pope ever does is wrong, including worship the devil. So in Catholic thought, if the Pope told you to worship the devil, you would because worshiping the devil would not be worshiping the devil unless the Pope said it was the devil, and then you should still do it anyway. In other words, as a Catholic, you worship the Pope. This question has been asked numerous times, in debates with Catholics, If the Pope told you to worship the Devil, would you do it? This question never gets an answer! The reason of course, in Catholic theology, is that this question points to a conflict that is theoretically impossible for a Catholic. The short theoretical answer is yes absolutely, per Ignatius Loyolas own spiritual exercises, but it is an answer most Catholics cannot bring themselves to voice openly or admit to a Protestant, recognizing the extreme Papal self-reference to be an indefensible position. Protestants however, and certainly any that claim to have any literacy with the Scriptures in the least, should have no problem saying no to that proposition, .... but the odd thing is that Protestants (led by their worthless apostate ministers) are standing in line, to do precisely that, completely oblivious to the reasons why no Protestant in his right mind, should ever have anything to do with it. BAAL WORSHIP WAS ABOUT YOUR WORSHIP (NOT YOUR THOUGHTS) WHO DO YOU QUOTE CONCERNING CHRISTMAS? MY PREACHER SAID?.. OR THE SCRIPTURES SAY? My Preacher Said: If you go to church as a mere ritual, while your real motivation is to meet girls, are you worshiping God? Of course not, because your HEART isnt in it! Likewise, if a celebration includes a few rituals that were once used by pagan worshipers, it does NOT automatically mean you are worshiping that pagan god, especially if your heart is completely devoted to something else like celebrating Christ. Your ministers disagreement over the definition of worship is not with this site, but with the Bible he claims to follow, because the Bible teaches people are deceived into worshiping the devil. Deceived means they do not know they are doing it (so it certainly is not intentional). Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. The same warning was given in the OT: Deu_11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; Decieved means you do not realize that is what you are doing. Worship is an Act, not a thought, and if it were not so, then Christ could have bowed down to Satan (and simply thought something else in his head) and he would have (1) gained the kingdoms of the world AND (2) not worshipped Satan. The ACT of bowing down to him, WAS the worship (an act, not a thought) Mat 4:9 and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me. (Youngs Literal) Worship:(Definition) 2: reverence offered a divine being or supernatural power; also : AN ACT of expressing such reverence 3: A FORM of religious practice with its creed and RITUAL - Merriam Webster BIBLICAL DEFINITION προσκυνέω proskuneō pros-koo-neh-o From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence ) [All references to Acts not Thoughts] BAAL TOOK ON THE NAMES OF THE GODS HE CONQUERED THE SUN-GOD As the Sun-god, Baal was worshipped under two aspects, beneficent and destructive. On the one hand he gave light and warmth to his worshippers; on the other hand the fierce heats of summer destroyed the vegetation he had himself brought into being. Hence, human victims were sacrificed to him in order to appease his anger in time of plague or other trouble, the victim being usually the first-born of the sacrificer and being burnt alive. In the Old Testament this is euphemistically termed “passing” the victim “through the fire” (2Ki_16:3; 2Ki_21:6). The forms under which Baal was worshipped were necessarily as numerous as the communities which worshipped him. Each locality had its own Baal or divine “Lord” who frequently took his name from the city or place to which he belonged. Hence, there was a Baal-Zur, “Baal of Tyre”; Baal-hermon, “Baal of Hermon” (Jdg_3:3); Baal-Lebanon, “Baal of Lebanon”; Baal-Tarz, “Baal of Tarsus.” At other times the title was attached to the name of an individual god; Thus we have Bel-Merodach, “the Lord Merodach” (or “Bel is Merodach”) at Babylon, Baal-Melkarth at Tyre, Baal-gad (Jos_11:17) in the north of Palestine. Occasionally the second element was noun as in Baal-Shemaim, “lord of heaven,” Baalzebub (2Ki_1:2), “Lord of flies,” Baal-Hammān, usually interpreted “Lord of heat,” but more probably “Lord of the sunpillar,” the tutelary deity of Carthage. All these various forms of the Sun-god were collectively known as the Baalim or “Baals” who took their place by the side of the female Ashtaroth and Ashtrim. At Carthage the female consort of Baal was termed Penē-Baal, “the face” or “reflection of Baal.” - ISB Encyclopedia DECEIVED INTO WORSHIPING SATAN Initially, the term Baal was considered a generic term for God until the common terminology began to be used as a political tool to assimilate Baal Worship during the time of Jezebel. Afterwards, Jews whose names had been suffixed with the term Bel and Baal, changed their names to the Hebrew word for Shame and Humiliation for being Seduced into apostacy. In the New Testament, and among early Christians, Baal became universally understood among the Biblically orthodox (those apart from gnostics) as an Old Testament synonym for SATAN!!! christmasisalie/themass.htm#510237691
