YECism is a modern view yes, but there are quite a number within the Evangelical movement that see Catholicism as a corruption of Christianity. Indeed some evangelicals see Catholicism as anti-Christian because of its links to Constantine. Whilst he was said to have converted, it is very clear from history that his conversion was largely self-serving and he maintained many pagan practices despite his apparent conversion and these practices infiltrated the subsequent Christian movement that formed out of it.
The point is, Constantine recognized the need to combine church and state in order to protect his empire (to maintain complete control of it). It was a masterful stroke actually, however, it corrupted the Christian movement in that region.
On the statement you make YECism is idolatry…you have no support for that argument. I challenge you to support that with Bible passages please and if and when you do, I am extremely confident I can provide self explanatory Bible passages that refute any twisted interpretations of scripture which supposedly support your views on this.
I can preempt and start with the following:
What is the overall theme of the Bible? Creation, The Fall, Redemption, and Restoration back to its former glory (none of these support evolutionary models because evolution says death existed before the fall of man…the bible does not support this view and specifically says the opposite Romans 5:12
12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
What is the purpose of the Earthly Sanctuary? To Explain the above and illustrate a physical building and religious model given by Moses that is most definately historical fact and not an allegory. If Christ died a physical death for the atonement of sins, and the wages of sin are death, does this not agree with Genesis Chapter 3 as being a real event? If Genesis Chapter 3 is a real event, how can you make the claim that the books of Moses are allegorical? You make the claim because scientific interpretation disagrees with the Mosaic account (that is twisting of scripture my friend)!
Was Christ’s death on the cross physical? Obviously yes. So why then the claim that the wages of sin is death means only spiritual death? Clearly, that is false given Christ died physically on the Cross, Physically rose again, and physically ascended into heaven 6 weeks later.
