Because Lord knows, God didn't write in English. And when they hold the book to their hearts like a talisman and lift a hand to the sky, they sure LOOK like they are worshiping it.
How about that "Idol" outside Solid Rock Church?
It’s not my church, not by denomination—never seen that before.
Besides being rather tasteless “art” yes, I do think it violates:
“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them;” (Exodus 20:4,5 from the 10 Commandments)
I don’t see anybody saying prayers to it like catholics do to Mary, so where is the worship?
