ANYHOW....

little wooden dollies ARE discussed.....lest you forget...

[b]Deu 4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,[b] wood[/b] and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

That's if we believe our wood and stone works are actually gods. Which we DO NOT. We dont believe they are divine, we dont believe the images save us. They are about teaching, example and honoring those portrayed. If you want to go ahead and falsely accuse us of worshipping the works of our hands, then fine go ahead. you can accuse us all you want, it means nothing. It's not worship, its definitely not ADORATION. That's your problem budge, you want to skip past what we really do with images, (which has nothing to do with idolatry) to accusing us idolatry.

i think budge just says things and never really responds to people unless it's something she can twist out of proportion, or someone makes an error and she can accuse your church of that error.

You're better than that bro.[/quote]

It's not inane at all. Chapters were added in 1227 (by Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langdon, when England was still Catholic). Verses were added in 1551 by French printer Robert Stephanus. Neither of them were inspired by God to do this. It's "adding to God's word" which Protestants often accuse Catholics of doing, and in this case they're absolutely right. Catholics did it. So Protestants should stop quoting chapters and verses if they're gonna stick to the Bible Only, as they claim to do. :
