Just one cults interpretation. What is the cross that many wear around their neck? Or the crucifix that hangs in so many churches? Surely these are graven images..some have even turned the bible into a graven image that has more value than human life.
Someone mentioned degrading the
IMAGE of Jesus..there fore I tossed out the prohibition against graven IMAGES.
This be the greatest problem in the institutionalized church--- they demand EVERYONE walk like them, talk like them and fart like them.
Even Jesus told us he has sheep who are not of this flock...that was not a commandment to become mindless SHEEPLE...
I am amazed that the church even goes so far as to think of God as having RACIAL properties--was Jesus really a BLUE-EYED BLONDE being a descendant of DAVID and a people who were more BLACK in appearance than any other race.
Why do we insist on God being any gender? The book was written by MEN so how can we verify it is absolutely real?
Just like the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon were written from...you either believe one fact or you allow yourself to explore the endless possibilities. Questioning our faith is NOT blasphemous, it is how we strengthen our faith.
