CWD Episode 76: Are Crosses and Pictures of Jesus Idols?
from Conversation with Dan Podcast · host Broadway Church of Christ - Paducah, KY
We all remember the golden calf and what happened to those that worshipped it right? Well, around that same event, God told the people to not make any idols in the form of anything in heaven above or earth below. What does that mean when it comes to paintings of Jesus? What about hanging a cross in our home? Is it breaking God's law to use images of Jesus in teaching materials? This seems to be a fairly open and shut conversation, but if we are honest with ourselves - there is a lot to wrestle with. How many of our personal feelings and cultural norms will we confront in light of God's words?Scripture References: Exodus 20:3-6, Isaiah 46:5-7, Romans 1:21-23
