Because the Catholic Church disregards the commandment of keeping the sabbath day holy (Exodus 20:8-11) by changing it to the first day. Exodus 20:3-5 also clearly states that no one is to make a graven image of any likeness to things on earth or in heaven, nor to bow down to them. How are the relics, icons and statues exempt from this commandment?
The following website is probably one of the best sites to refute Protestant beliefs.

Thanks for posting these. I’ll check out the links, but I feel my position is Biblical, not just a Protestant argument. I have just as much to say to the Protestant Churches as well. Thanks for the civil discussion too. We are all on the same side, trying to understand the truth of God’s Word.
