One and two go hand in hand.
A graven image is an idol. As well, other idols (graven images?) include but are not limited to - Money, job, car, boat, anything placed in a higher position than God. You money, if more important than God, is a god before Him.
Yes, that is the one. It is somewhere on FR.
19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
I will be happy to be with God. I can’t even imagine eternity without him. That would be hell.

You forget that God DOES give the gift of dreams, as the Bible says, the two Josephs, both of the OT and NT is proof.
If we paid heed to every one who said they had dreams of the future or could foretell what was going to happen because they saw it in a dream, we just as well forget about the word of God which we claim to believe in and follow after those dreamers.
With all of the dreamers, diviners, witch,s and etc i wonder why God mistakenly thought we needed his word for anything.
Please read that book with all the doctors statistics and then you tell me.
What an incredible last post. I sure do miss you FRiend.
