[Dr. Eckleburg]

I pray that I might in some small way be like unto my idol Jesus Christ.

Christ is not an idol. At least not in Christian churches. There is not one time in Scripture where the term "idol" is anything but a "false god."

"What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?" -- 1 Corinthians 10:19

---

"I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them." -- Isaiah 48:5

[Petronski]

Christ is not an idol.

I put the word "idol" to connote that I was using YOUR term. YOU called the Real Presence of Christ an idol.
