Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Is it inappropriate for a Christian to have images (pictures or statues) of Christ in their homes?What about statues or likenesses of created things like sculptures of frogs, fish or people or stuffed animals used as children’s toys?
Not inappropriate for me as long as long as I do not allow myself or mine to honor and love those things more than I honor and love God according to His definition of: honoring and loving Him.

(idol... idolatry)
idols are called idols for a reason.




Father bless those who look to you, but have mercy on all of us to glorify your name.
