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 earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers ...
“A portrait of Jesus in my home?”
Sure it is and let me guess Peter painted it. We don’t even have original autographs of the Bible let alone a picture or even a description of Jesus.
No, you have a forbidden image of a painters imagination no more no less.
Wanna really piss him off? Tell him the church will pray for him.
You are an idiot.
These are God’s commands. Go get another tat.
That's what democrats call a 'peaceful protest'...
“I guess you are CNN or a likeness therof.”
You found me out, darn my cover is busted, but you are still in your sin admitted or not.
“You are an idiot.”
Wow, did you have to use a thesaurus?
“These are God’s commands.”
Chapter and verse...
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 earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers ...
ROTFLOL!
God is not mocked.
“Lutherans don’t destroy statues of Jesus.”
Lutherans have destroyed many statues of Jesus. Proof: the ex-Catholic cathedral in Stockholm was reduced to bare walls by Lutherans.
When someone performs evil deeds, they should be called out on it and face the punishment. You, unfortunately are an enabler who turns a blind eye to evil. This makes you an accomplice to Satan’s work.
It is OK. Jesus forgives. Hate the sin, love the sinner. It is only inanimate objects. Here is praying for the sinner that he someday awakens to his hatred and sin and rejects them. Perp is a perfect candidate for a Christian conversion one day.
Keep reading. You forgot the part where it says “and bow down and worship them”. Catholics don’t worship statues. That’s idiotic.
Also what about the serpent on the pole God commanded Moses to make, the decorations on the walls of the temple or the 2 angels on top of the Ark of the Covenant?
God has a form now in Jesus. You can make a picture, carve a statue, etc. I bet there is even a picture in your Protestant bible or church of the Lord. Going to start ripping those out too? Or are you ok with ot as long as it’s Catholic?
For iconoclasts with no teaching authority to guide them you keep making the same mistakes over and over and over....
“This makes you an accomplice to Satan’s work.”
That’s interesting because when great men of the OT destroyed idols and graven images GOD told them they did good. Maybe you should get into that Bible instead of accepting all that spoon fed garage that rome is feeding you.
“I’ll try again. Just play it all next time.”
What are you trying to prove?
“Catholics don’t worship statues”
That is debatable, but you do serve them.
You bow to them
You pray to them
You ask them for favors
“Also what about the serpent on the pole God commanded Moses to make”
It was destroyed because the Israelites was serving it, great example of what you romans have done.
2 Kings 18:4
He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.
“the decorations on the walls of the temple or the 2 angels on top of the Ark of the Covenant?”
The decorations like Pomegranate I suppose you could worship bronze fruit.
The Cherubim where inside the Holy of holies and they were only seen once a year and then only by the High Priest, so I’m not sure how you think they could have been worshipped or served.
“For iconoclasts with no teaching authority to guide them you keep making the same mistakes over and over and over....”
For idol worshippers that have no idea what the Holy Word of GOD teaches, but yet when taught with Bible verses they keep reverting back to the whore of Babylon and in turn will suffer death and eternal suffering.
