Could this be just co-incidence or a realization of Biblical prophesy?

Indeed it may sound harsh but the Catholics are into paganism. They want to see Jesus in the form of graven images without knowing they are guilty of idolatry. They worship Mary in their deeds even if they deny it. They pray to saints and every graven images they could ever have, not knowing they are making fools out of themselves in the process. They are either ignorant of what the Bible says or they know but they want to suppress the truth all because of their respect for tradition. It is disgusting to hear "Papa Jesus" and Mama Mary" from them because that is not what the Bible teaches us. We who know the truth in the Bible are offended by these unbiblical deeds. Nevertheless lest we be so judgmental of the Catholics let us also see our own fault in this verse. We might not be idol worshipers like the Catholics and the other pagans but have we not turn back from God in one way or another? Have we not forgotten God out of our busyness in pursuing our worldly desire? We might be making an idol out of just about anything that we pursue and desire more than Jesus. We should also examine ourselves and see if the words..."They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!'."- do not apply to us as well. Aren't we also guilty of taking God for granted and speaking to Him only when we are in trouble? Remember Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

True worship is an inner thing. Maybe young pre-Catholics think they're worshiping the cross or the statue or the fresco or the mural, but true (Confirmed) Catholics know that those things are just representations of G-d (just as a photograph isn't actually the object photographed). Every word you say (to yourself, to someone else) is spoken to God also. Naturally, you're addressing him differently when you request something than -when you're thankful for something he already gave; same as it would be with anyone else.

And think if you were G-d. Wouldn't YOU want people to so appreciate your works that they build things in your works' images? to your works' glory? Or would you rather destroy everything except yourself & the GodHead? (I say 'GodHead because--as I hope you would realize before you destroy anything--there is a little part of G-d in everything he creates---sorta like a 'generation' of the Daleks from DOCTOR WHO.)

Are you sure that Jehovah is really the name of God? Your publication Reasoning Through Scriptures in page 191 admits that modern Masoreths adopted the name Jehovah because of people's familiarity with it even though Jews and Christians of old do not know of such name, and that the true pronunciation of God's Hebrew name YHWH vanished as it has not been long used.

AMEN! Yes, samar. It is very perplexing that people who have obtained higher education continue to bow and kneel before wood, stone, plastic, paper and metal with images of men and women. What is so odd that these same people question the Bible claiming that it was written by men. They are refuting the Bible because of this claim yet what they are worshipping and kneeling before are also made by men!
