Bible Question:
can you please be kind enough to tell me if it's wrong to have a Buddha satue in the house of a christian even if it's for the purpouse of art? |
Bible Answer: Dear Chumba, I'm a christian, and I carry an empty bottle of an extremely high alcoholic substance around in my back pack everytime I go to work. To the carnally minded person, the first thing that would come to mind if they were to see that, would be, "He's a drunkard" or "He's a sinner". But to the spiritually minded person, they look beyond the bottle and get to know me. And by doing that, they find out "Why" I carry the bottle around in my back-pack. I take the bottle around just in case the topic of drinking alcoholic beverages is right or wrong based on God's word. So Chumba, it's not really the question of whether it's right for a christian to have a statue of Buddha in his or her house, it's "Why does he or she have it?" Jesus said, "Judge not according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgement". Romans chapter 14 is another way of finding truth about this matter. |
