Protestants: “Catholics worship graven images of Mary! They are pagan…” Also Protestants: “Grandpa, Thank you for taking me to the Lincoln Memorial!” “Well, grandson, it's important that we honor the great heroes of America!”

@TaylorRMarshall Not one Protestant I know prays to Abraham Lincoln to intercede for sinners. Not one. You’re smarter than this, aren’t you?

@BetsyLo5456 The topic is “graven images”.

@TaylorRMarshall False equivalence, "Doctor." No one prays to either Lincoln or Billy Graham. The only thing you're worse at than debating Protestantism is avoiding logical fallacies.

@ShawnWGillogly The topic is graven images. Try to keep up.

@TaylorRMarshall Strawman. If Protestants started praying through or to Lincoln, I would equally condemn them.

@TaylorRMarshall If you don't understand the difference.......

@TaylorRMarshall @Larry7498 Yeah, this analogy fails because no one prays to Lincoln.

@TaylorRMarshall It's really quite simple: (1) Either you make images/icons/statues and accept/approve them as objects of veneration; thus you have to explain why this isn't idolatry because commandments against the veneration of images exist. Or, (2) You make these for narrative purposes only

@TaylorRMarshall A little Hypocritical Here’s a Protestant Idol.

@TaylorRMarshall The difference? Little Timmy and grandpa aren’t bowing down before the Lincoln memorial.

@TaylorRMarshall When was the last time you heard anyone: 1. "Pray to Lincoln" 2. Burn incense around Lincoln 3. Put Lincoln's statue in a house of worship. 4. Kiss the Lincoln statue 5. Bow down to the Lincoln statue. Isa 46:5-8 5“To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me,

@TaylorRMarshall This is just a completely false dichotomy lmao

@TaylorRMarshall Lincoln is even in a pagan temple. The Apotheosis of Washington (becoming a god) in the Capitol Building is also interesting.

@TaylorRMarshall Our Protestant brothers and sisters should try following the Catholic faith and find what inner peace and joy it brings.

@TaylorRMarshall no one is praying to L:incoln.. strawman fallacies...

@TaylorRMarshall You don’t worship The Blessed Virgin Mary. Worship is due God alone. We do honor her as the world’s most holy person, the vessel that carried God and brought Him into this world as the Son of God, our savior Christ Jesus.

@TaylorRMarshall Comparing the Lincoln memorial to... a statue of a roman goddess that the romans pray to and believe is their mother, queen of heaven and intercessor to jesus is silly. The two are not the same and romans are being obtuse and their cognitive dissonance is very obvious with

@TaylorRMarshall 1)we don’t pray to the statue or ask for intercession 2)we didn’t create prayers on Abraham’s name, even though he was a Christian 3)we didn’t create beads of Abraham Lincoln to go around our wrists 4)we don’t have mini Abraham statues around our houses set up like a mini

@TaylorRMarshall As an Orthodox Christian. This is a retarded argument.

@TaylorRMarshall Nobody prays to Lincoln's statue. That's the OBVIOUS difference. 😑

@TaylorRMarshall Never seen anyone bow down and pray to Lincoln. But I have seen people do it to statues of Mary. There is the difference. Never seen anyone call Lincoln their salvation, but i have seen people call Mary their salvation.

@TaylorRMarshall this has to be rage bait 😂

@TaylorRMarshall If you were at St Peter's standing in front of the Pietà would you make the signum crucis and say an Ave (or similar prayer)?

@TaylorRMarshall No one has a religious practice of bowing and praying to statues of dead presidents. Why? Because they aren't worthy of religious devotion... and are dead.

@TaylorRMarshall Dr Marshall, I was a devout Protestant, scrolling Twitter. Then I turned off my phone. Suddenly, I saw a graven image of my own face reflected back at me! What hypocrisy! Needless to say I am now a fervent Catholic. THANK YOU for helping me see the light🇻🇦🇻🇦🇻🇦

@TaylorRMarshall not even mad at this attempt to trash Protestants because it makes no sense and anyone who knows anything agrees with me.

@TaylorRMarshall I don't think Catholics worship Mary but come on this is a bad argument...

@TaylorRMarshall False equivalence. What would be equal is if Grandpa taught his child to go "Hail Abraham Lincoln full of grace. Please pray to Jesus for me because I dont feel good enough to go directly to Jesus"

@TaylorRMarshall We dont bow and worship it lmbo ..... what a seriously horrible comparison....

@TaylorRMarshall Aren't you too old to make this kind of childish comparison?
