A Common Claim

[locusts]

Did faithful jews of Bible time venerate images
millions of sincere people .images as part of their worship ?

[woofgang]

I might be able to give you an answer if the question made any sense.

[Old_Geezer]

If they did then they'd be subjected to a plague of locusts !

[Marshwarble]

They were known as Hebrews or Israelites.

[sandyRoe]

Graven Images were frowned on. When Moses took a while off to go for some tablets, his bro, Aaron, made a Golden Calf.
God wasn't best pleased.

[Old_Geezer]

Well... Moses wasn't, it is said.

I'm off to consult a burning bush, don't go away!

Baldric, you keep away from those girls, you & your paint stripper. Lol.

Of course, believers in all these religions claim that their religion is the true one. Yet we have to ask ourselves: Why have none of these religions prevented mankind from coming into the critical situation that we see around us today? A close look at the aii followers of these religions will help you to understand why.

[idiosyncrasy]

Well, where I go to worship we have no images. We certainly don't have a crucifix.

The Bible tells us that "No man can see God and live", so how can anyone make an image of something that no one has ever seen? Also, we are commanded not to bow down to images.

“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.” (Exodus 20:4, 5)

I know it has been said that images help one in their worship, but why should it?

Though Roman Catholic theologians have been quick to condemn pagan idolatry, when it comes to their own use of images, they have often resorted to the very justifications that the so-called pagan has used.

What is an "aii" follower?

1ozzy@ so you have never made spelling mistakes! Are you so thick that you cannot guess from the content that it should have been all. I do not claim to be a speller so if you check all my posts, no doubt you will find even more spelling mistakes.

[mibn2cweus]

We might not not all be so prone to hold steadfastly to our presumptions, whether they be of another's ignorance or of our own knowledge.

Thank you very much for your delightful reply, including the insult. I did think it may have been an acronym for some religious group. God bless you!!

[ummmm]

'all' still doesn't make sense.

[Bathsheba]

Well well goodlife....not very Christian to accuse someone of being "thick", is it?

[Peter Pedant]

priddy obvious question

and according to wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneration

the answer is 'yes'

[goodlife]

1ossy@ Oh dear!You obviously read what you want and not what is there!
I did not say you were thick, I asked a question, "Are you thick?"
It seems to be that there is a "pick and choose" here, if anyone else should say what I say it is okay. When I say it , I am accused of not being christian. What is a Christian? A footstep follower of Christ. Did Christ never get annoyed with people?

[DTCwordfan]

Not very Christian as a comment, goodlife, which JW document did you copy and and paste that one from?

[locusts]

Millions of sincere people are being misled by their local churches. So this is causing a problem in the churches today. why does the church continually reinforce this venerate in Saints.-- which is making the word God invalid. There are many Scripture which tells us about _ should do and what we should not- leviticus 26-1 deuteronomy 4.15.16 there are many more by this you can find in the Bible.
