Bible Question: when we display pictures of jesus , or where a cross neclace why do some religions think this against gods word |
Bible Answer: Kathy, I believe I asked that same question once. Yet I have a cross in my house, I wear a cross at times, etc. I do not think of those items as any kind of graven image, but something that reminds me that I'm a Christian and anyone else who may walk into my house. I don't believe those kinds of objects can be deemed as idols unless you yourself actually worship them as such. And I do not feel threatened of my salvation in anyway for having them. Anyway just my personal opinion. Laters, V |
