OK. You’re Jewish? What do you make,of the fact that God prescribed statues of cherubim on the Ark, or that Moses carve a snake on a pole?
God can’t command anything that’s intrinsically evil, so statues aren’t intrinsically evil. Why would using statues as a prayer aid be intrinsically evil?
“God cant command anything thats intrinsically evil, so statues arent intrinsically evil. Why would using statues as a prayer aid be intrinsically evil?”
Does something have to be intrinsically evil to be forbidden by God? What of something commanded by God simply as a test of obedience, for example when he commanded Abraham to kill Isaac? Had Abraham disobeyed because he believed the command to be evil, he would have been guilty of another, perhaps greater evil, by disobeying the commandment of God. How much more guilty might we be of disobeying a commandment for a much less compelling reason?
