“God never forbade the “making of images”.”
” Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them” - Exodus 20:4
That’s pretty emphatic.
Once you’ve read the “whole Bible”, get to know its Author. He’ll interpret it for you.
The body being thrown onto the Prophet’s bones and springing to life is no reason to venerate pieces of corpses. Leave dead religion behind and come to a relationship with the Almighty.
Yes, it is. And you get the intepretation you do because Protestants have misquoted the Commandment. Obviously, given all the examples I gave, God has no problem with images, so it must be the worship thereof that is the problem. The correct Commandment is separated as the Catholic Bible gives it, with those two clauses in a single statement. Luther and Calvin were nuts.
