Point is if you go by that uncontextualized reading of an oft-translated text, you cannot even have any photos of anyone.
I guess you have no cross, either?
Seriously, I’m just posing the logical questions if as you 2 think, there cannot be any sort of images.
It’s no the images...it’s the bowing and kneeling.
Of course I have family photos but I sure as heck don’t kneel before them nor bow down to them... And you’re correct I don’t wear crosses either because He’s no longer on the cross. ....’He lives in me’ by His very Spirit He gave me and that’s better than any jewelry, relic, statue or painting others might need to focus. ....and yes I walk by faith not sight.
