1 | Scriptural support? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 140731 | ||
Greetings AO! First of all, which of the Scriptures that you cited mention anything other than idols? Secondly, Mt. 23:5 has to do with things done for the wrong reasons, not with jewlery. Using this line of arguement, one would have to argue that it is wrong to sit at a table! :-) So, where does Scripture say that someone cannot wear any kind of jewlery?

Tim, The scripture references apply to idols; the topic of this discussion. You believe that religious symbols made into jewelry are excluded yet offer no scriptural support. Whether "WWJD" braclets, "christian fish" or a 6" rapper cross pendant, they all are religious symbols designed to carry a message, created by man and subject to MT 23:5. In the end, Christians must follow scripture in handling the topic rather than public opinion. AO |

Greetings AO! You wrote: "In the end, Christians must follow scripture in handling the topic rather than public opinion." I fully agree my friend! But, you have not yet shown me a single Scripture that says anything about religious symbols! :-) Idols are items meant to be gods and worshipped as such! Do we agree on this definition? Yet, you wrote in your original posts that Scripture forbids relgious symbols, not idols! Where exactly does Scripture forbid religous symbols? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: I wonder what the priests' garments, the details of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, the cherubim over the mercy seat in the ark of the covenant -- these things that were COMMANDED by God in the Law -- I wonder what they were, if they were not religious symbols. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos, The difference is THEY were commanded by God. AO |

AO: That they were commanded by God is a significant difference. However, as Tim said, did you not write in your original posts that Scripture forbids relgious symbols, not idols? Where exactly does Scripture forbid religous symbols? Grace to you, Kalos |
