Idolatry in Sto. Niño and Black Nazarene
Philippines must be forewarned. Just immediately after Cebu-Bohol earthquake last October 15, 2013, WORDatTheNet forewarned of the effects of idolatry shown by Cebuanos, who were showing Sto. Niño idols while being interviewed in television. This show of idolatry was later followed by Typhoon Yolanda in less than a month or on November 8, 2013, with more than 6,000 deaths. Recently, Roman Catholic devotees were seen in TVs and newspapers doing the worst form of idolatry.This is Black Nazarene which likewise uses the name of Christ. It is not only being paraded during procession but also traditionally kissed by devotees. The devotees were apparently made to believe by Roman Catholicism that they are praising Christ during Nazarene feast, not knowing that they are praising the wrong/Roman Christ and being encouraged to engage in idolatry, which is one of the root causes for "curse" against Israelites in the olden times.
