Dear otahuti, I am terribly sorry that you felt hurt with my quoting of the scripture. I even did not notice your saying about me "close minded" as I just felt relieved to see your first part of the answer and skipped the rest in your first response to me. Please do understand that just by your short question, it would be quite difficult for me to understand what lies behind. That's why I did ask you for further elaboration and you did. It is appreciated. Plesae also understand that the border line between sculptures of arts and idols could be blurred (especially in China) if we are not careful. However, I want you to also know that I admire your gift, creativity and love to serve our Lord with it. Hope you enjoy the forum. Shalom Azure |
