A symbol that shows your belief in God and Jesus, I feel, is ok. You are not worshiping the symbol. The symbol, wither it a cross or a fish, is just allowing others to assertain that you are indeed a Christian, and that you beleive strongly enough that you want others to know. After all, all Christian demoninations have been using the cross as a symbol for 2000 years now. Statues, however, should be advoided at all costs. Acts 17:16 - 34. I'm still unsure about pictures (of God or Jesus) in the home, ok to look at in museums I guess. Movies such as 'the 10 Commandments', ok to watch, not to worship the movie. Art (pictues and movies) can be a wonderful teaching tool if used correctly. My humble opinion, for what it's worth. Russ |

Greetings Russ! Thanks for the comments my friend! Let me ask you something! Is there a difference between an idol and a statue? Can something be a statue without being an idol? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Brother Tim, Of course, statues are all over. Idols are objects of worship. You can have a statue of Jesus, if you don't worship the statue then it's ok. But, once you start worshiping the statue, it becomes an idol. You worship Jesus our Lord the Christ, not the statue of Jesus. It can't do anything for you. Russ |

Greetings Russ! Thanks for the clarification my friend! I wasn't sure from your previous post if you were making a distinction between the two or not! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
