AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Kings 18:4 He removed the high places [of pagan worship], broke down the images (memorial stones) and cut down the Asherim. He also crushed to pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the Israelites had burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan [a bronze sculpture]. [Num 21:8] |
Subject: worship in front of a wooden cross |
Bible Note: Good answer and well reasoned, brother Ed! To augment what you said: If someone thinks that a cross, bible, robe, alter, head gear, location, position, or even specific words embue their worship with some kind of extra efficacy, then that represents significant error! (As human beings, we can sure be superstitous!) We come to the Lord solely on the merit of what Christ has done. If we keep that in mind... and we communicate that properly to others... hey, if standing on your head helps your focus, I say go for it! :-) In Him, Doc |
