Subject: Is it wrong to have pictures of Jesus? |
Bible Note: Hi Johnny, I don't think hair length has anything to do with it. What is long? Whose definition are we going to use? Yours, mine, my kids, the Army? Where is the definition of “long” found in the Word anyway? I don’t have any pictures of Jesus on my walls, but I have never saw anything wrong with those that do. God has never checked my spirit concerning it. I’m not concerned if they are an accurate portrayal of what Jesus looked like or not, I am talking about any pictures at all. I asked the question because of something I read in a Vernon McGee commentary. “I do not like to see pictures of Jesus, as Paul said that we know Him no longer after the flesh (see 2Cor. 5:16). He is the glorified Christ. He is not that picture you have hanging on your wall, my friend. If He came into your room, you would fall on your face before Him. He is the glorified Christ today. Don't slur our God by having a picture of Him!” J. Vernon McGee's Thru The Bible retxar PS. I'm not agreeing with what McGee said here, I'm just wondering what the forum thinks. |
