Bible Question: Why do Christians today pretend that this scripture does not apply to the pictures and statues others use today? Does it not say, not to even think of the divine nature this way? |
Bible Answer: Romans 3:23 applies. I'm not even sure if it is the first account in the Bible, but consider the golden calf in Exodus. It appears that it may have been cast as an object used for worship of the true God, but it was wrong! To do so today, with pictures, statues and icons is no less wrong. The ten commandments also cover this issue. |
