When we make anything material "holy" we are making it an "idol" and Christ forbids that...

This is preposterous to call people who defend their turf and Christian jurisdiction as idolaters. At least those christians do not take your self-idolating and self-granted prosecutorial jurisdiction. Since when defending the concept of jurisdiction, and, let alone, the concept of supreme juridical authority in general, equivalent to worshiping Christ amongst Christians, was idolatry???

Deut 4:15-20

You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air, 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars-all the heavenly array-do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
