the recent stories in the news here in NYC of the defacing of church statues brought up some questions… though i am not in any way condoning what was done, i find it horrible and disgusting that someone harm in any shape or form something that another holds sacred in any way, for that matter, i dislike anyone harming any one or anything that will knowingly cause pain or discomfort in others…
that said…
Why do those who follow Jesus, (i say that becuase i’m assuming there are others that worship Jesus that are not Christian) have statues and figurines that they bow or kneel to, when in the OT it prohibits the worship of idols? And also, concerning Jesus being the son of God, is it right to “worship” him? Doesn’t that make God jealous?
I hope i don’t sound like a moron, let me know if i do, i’m curious is all.
