Re: Make a Jesus In Your Own Image

I'll just be honest with ya man, I dont like pictures of Jesus. To me, its way to close to the line. I dont want to be anywhere near that line.

As far as the WPF picture, I dont see a picture of Jesus. Just a bunch of hypocrites....lol.

Ah! You don't like them! That's different. And it's fine. We all have different taste, after all.

Ouch! But you said "ANY GRAVEN IMAGES". Meaning "formed". Now you want to make exceptions?

EXACTLY what I was thinking as I read your post.

You are as guilty as this company selling the Jesus dolls and the drawings, because you find it hilarious.
I think ALL sin will make God angry, not just idolatry.

No, I think God does have a sense of humor. He created you didn't He?

Wait. What? Uhhhh, no, I don't think it is. You think an idol is making a Jesus in one's own image? That's ... just ... weird.

(Besides, I didn't see an "I am nerd" Jesus in the list! )

How can apostolics think its funny to have figurines of what is suppose to be Jesus? You people act more like childlike devils than people of God. You should be ashamed.
Uhhhh, I don't think anyone here appreciates idolatry. Just where are you getting at?
