in or around 400 a.d. images and statues where created to show conflicts of martyrs and sacred history to those who could not read. Although the intent wasn't there, the simple people started to worship the statues and images themselves.
Exodus 20: 4, 5--"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of thsoe who love me and keep my commandments.
So, why is it that the catholics are still worshiping false idols and completely ignore what was written in Exodus?
