Catholics do not kneels before graven images. They kneel before images of saints, Jesus, or Mary because those images are focal points for prayer. They kneel because they are in prayer and it is before the image because the image serves as a reminder of God's love to them. They aren't worshiping the image, therefore it is not graven in the Biblical sense. The image is a tool for prayers.
I think out of all of the Western traditions the Catholics really understand the importance of facilitating worship of God through the experience of the five senses.
Any Catholics, feel free to correct me here.
why do catholics kneel on the graven images
Yes it matters a lot. do you mean what catholic does is none sense?
are you saying their faith dont matter?
Do you have anything to back up this baseless claim of yours?most religions wont stand for anything but what is popular.
Christianity is but one religion and your denomination but 1 of 33,000 that have been. What's your point?Gay church leaders in many denominations of the Christian faith. Politically correct that is POP.
Islam is but one religion and the bad one but few. Once again what's your point?Terrorism against the world by many misguided Muslims. Kill the Infidels, they are not worthy. That is POP.
How does this prove your "Many religious will just do what's popular"? Maybe you should read up on the Eastern religions, they teach non-violence.The religions of the far east (India and the orient) generally do no harm.
Yes you should be specific, because right now it still looks like you don't know what you are talking about.Do you need specifics? they are easy enough to post but you know this is true so why waste time.

There are also many other religions and unless you know about them your still just making Generalized claims that are baseless.

The traditional Christian position is that the Incarnation of Christ changes everything. Whereas before the Incarnation God could not be represented by art, after the Incarnation, having appeared in the flesh, he can be -- and some would even say that he must be, as a witness to the Incarnation. Images of his Mother and of all the saints are justified both by extension of that principle and by the argument that pagan idols represent fictitious beings, but images of the saints represent real people -- and people, moreover, who have put on the divine nature.now the bible's commandments acording to God according to Moses. one of them is not to make images of God. so i guess its not biblical.
