Thats why images are so dangerous

A reading from the Book of Acts

17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

We who believe that Jesus Christ took ALL offenses upon Himself have no right to be offended. Make Jesus Christ and the Cross ever the focus of your faith. Pray for forgiveness of those who slander you. God Himself needs no defending.

Just thought I would add this one from a couple of chapters down

Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

May you all have a blessed 2006

Images are dangerous. Yes, but not in the way you mean. They can invite parody, they can inflame the feelings of iconoclasts. But Bibles are icons to many protestants, so are the scrolls of the Torah. They represent the world of God. You would not be happy if South Park were to depict the pages of the Bible being used as toilet paper.
