Yet, by Jesus' earthly time, evidently the Robes had become idols to some.

Great post Quixie Doodle, I especially liked the spiritual sons of Satan

In Jesus' time, the idol was the Temple, with all its rigamarole: selling animals for sacrifice, short changing the tourists in the money exchange, and with the priests walking around it assuming holiness. Jesus destroyed it and built and continues to build, the new one. This new one is not of this world, therefore it is a spiritual church made up of believers. Communion is obligatory, wafers optional

Thanks for your kind words

and for the new nickname. LOL.

Much agree with your well worded post so accurately describing reality, imho.

This is why I read your posts!

I'm going to have to think about it, but it's a very interesting point that the Temple had become an idol to the Jews.
