It assumes I do not know or understand the Old Testament provisions against idolatry. And it assumes that you do. Your pronouncing my view heretical, you seem to say, is all that has to be done to establish that it is.
But the only thing it actually establishes is that we disagree.
So, as I say, go ahead and bury that talent in the fearful ground.
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
The LORD is my stronghold and my sure defense, and He will be my savior.
Therefore
(while some look over their shoulder to make sure they have not offended Him by violating a expired command of the Old Covenant)
the rest of us will be drawing water with rejoicing from the Springs of Salvation.
And on this day and all our days we will say,
"Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name,
for the great one in the midst of us is the Holy One of Israel."
But you don't have to dance if you don't want to.
Quick! Maybe somebody's digging where the talent is buried!
Oh it offends Him alright...How many other commands from God do you figure you can break without offending Him???
Lucky for all of us that we are under Grace and not the Law...But we still offend God when we go against His commands...
