THE ADVENT TRUTH.
To be fair, there are many well meaning Catholics who truly love Jesus. But as a religion, Catholicism has long tried to justify practices the Bible clearly condemns—chief among them, the veneration of images. To make room for this, the Roman Church quietly altered God’s Ten Commandments. In the catechism, the second commandment, which forbids making and bowing down to images (“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything… Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them” – Exodus 20:4–5), is removed. To keep the count at ten, they split the tenth commandment into two parts. Why? Because statues of Mary, the saints, and crucifixes are central to Catholic worship and devotion. By erasing God’s explicit prohibition, Rome attempted to sanctify what God has condemned.
But the Bible is unmistakable: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols” (1 John 5:21). Paul declared that idol worship is the very heart of paganism (Romans 1:22–25). God’s law doesn’t change, and altering His commandments to fit man’s traditions is rebellion. Jesus said plainly, “Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?” (Matthew 15:3). The Protestant principle of sola Scriptura (God's Word, the Bible only) exposes this *counterfeit—God’s Word*, not church authority, is the final rule of faith.
The attempt to erase the second commandment is not just a clerical adjustment—it’s prophetic. Daniel 7:25 foretold that the little horn power would “think to change times and laws.” By changing the Sabbath and removing the command against images, Catholicism fulfilled this prophecy to the letter. But no church on earth has the right to tamper with God’s eternal law.
The question for every believer is this: Will you accept the altered catechism, or the unaltered Word of God? God’s Ten Commandments still stand, unbroken, unchanged, and eternal.
