Exodus 20:4-5 (KJV)
"a man-made book as if it were the voice of God "
Satanic. Tell us just what is "the voice of God," demon. Unpack it for us. Show us this "God made" book.
Let me guess: "God"/"god" spoke to you in a dream, a vision. It's also called subjectivity, mysticism.
No, punk, we honor, praise, esteem, magnify, and glorify what the LORD God honors, praises, esteems, magnifies, glorifies-His written word. You call that "worship," which is a really cute sound byte, that you think bedazzles us all, so that we just don't know how to respond, to your shining brilliance.....Sssssssssssssssssssss.
You talk like the subtil serpent....He talks like you....
"Yea, hath God said,..?"-Genesis 3:1 KJV
"those words did not come from the mind, mouth, or hand of God, but from the minds and hands of men."
You are a man? Thus, we can dismiss your posts, and file you under "moron.
Give us the words that did come from God. Do be a dear.

It's whatever he impresses on your heart saint john, like the tv psychics.
Who/what told you that? Did God tell you that? How? Let me guess: He whispered in your erar....
Is bowing down to an object wrong? Who/what says? Give us your source authority.Is " bowing down to the divinity they believe the object represents" OK? Says who/what?Give us your source authority.
Yes, Mayor-it's called subjectivity, mysticism, "In my opinion."

I don't need "authorities" to tell me what to think. I am able to think for myself.
You should try it sometime. You don't HAVE to be enslaved by your own fear and ignorance, forever.

"I am able to think for myself"
Quite irrelevant, off topic=not the issue. Most can also. And? Tell us your source authority, standard, by which you assess right/wrong. I have given you/others, mine, w/o reservation. What is yours? Your mind? God? How did you come to know the objective truth re. the true God?
As I thought-mysticism, subjectivity.
Again-you argued:

This is your argument. Defend it, instead of just spamming emotional sound bytes, that do NADA for your argument, or do NADA to discredit a bible believer's argument.
Post a pic of what literal idol worship looks like.
The opposite of spiritual is natural, not literal.
:thumb:
Why don't I literally dispose of all the idols in my house, pictures and all. Have you ever put your hand on the Bible in prayer?
Guess what that is_
If a person isn't worshiping something, then they aren't worshiping it. You get no say in it- it is something of one's volition, not opinion.
This debate is pointless anyway- you all worship yourselves. It isn't about idolatry, it's just a feeding into your narcissism
Oh, that's different though :rotfl:
I don't think you understand the point
No, i dont think you understand it, one would be those old covenant priests worshipping God whose Spirit is literally sitting between the cheribum on the mercy seat, and the other would be them bowing down before the ark itself and worshipping the ark.
So which scenerio are you claiming that picture to be, because those are apples and oranges in comparison.

Do you bow down before the pictures in your home and pray to them?

This pretty much says it.
I think the argument is more about people here who practice idolatry, trying very hard to deny it, … within themselves.
There are lots of folks, here, who read every word in their Bibles as if those words were coming directly from the mouth of God.
THAT IS IDOLATRY by any definition of the term. But they don't want to acknowledge this, so they are trying very hard to limit idolatry to the "worship of" or "praying to" man-made objects. While they completely ignore the essence of both those practices, which is to endow a man-made object with the "being of God". Exactly what a lot of folks, here, do with the Bible.
I find it interesting that you can so clearly define that a person holding a bible, believing it is words from God, is blatant idolatry; but balk on whether any of the other pics or descriptions is idolatry.
Cause they certainly seem to think that there is something supernaturally special about their statues.
They treat them as if they are pure gold to be preserved, adorned, protected.
And when anything bad happens to one of these statues, they go into a frenzy of sorrow as if it was an attack on God Himself.
Do you not hang them up in adoration?
You all don't get it
No, i dont worship them, i dont bow down to them.
