AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 15:6 he is not to honor his father or his mother [by helping them with their need].' So by this you have invalidated the word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect] for the sake of your tradition [handed down by the elders]. |
Bible Question:
Emmaus, Quote"As for worshiping statutes and images as idols- catholics no more worship than than Americans worship stautes of Washington and Lincoln and other heros that we see all over this country. They are eminders of the people they represent. Have you every seen and illustrated childrens bible or any other picture of Jesus in a Protestant context? Do you consider them idols?" Answer; Emmaus did you see anyone thier in the U.S. worshiping the statue of Washington? Are they really pray rosary into that statue? Are they recite prayers and say "pray for us sinner now and the our of our death AMEN" did your american people done this things to that statue or the statue of liberty? When God prohibit idols, He include guidance why it was an idolatry: Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; There are makers of images of michael jordan and other famous persons, I am sure it is not sin. But if start serving thier idols bow on them and praying for them, then the idolatry comes in. God bless, Johnny |
