''thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image'' And The Church by mkmyers45(m): 1:10pm On Jun 04, 2012 |
It is a clear commandment of God that graven images should not be made but all over i see images,crucifix and stuff being sold,worn and adored in Churches all over the world by Pentecostals,Orthodox and what have you? I maybe wrong but do they have a different scriptural interpretation for that..... All views are welcomed..... |

If we are to agree the verse is from the old testament and shouldn't be taken serious, then emphasis should not be laid on tithes payment cos it's found in the old testament 3 Likes |

Optimisticgondy: If we are to agree the verse is from the old testament and shouldn't be taken serious, then emphasis should not be laid on tithes payment cos it's found in the old testamentCorrect. tithe payment as practiced in modern pentecostal churches has no biblical basis at all. It's simply a scam. mkmyers45: I wonder why they are following the tithe rule..Some pastors desperate for cash started preaching the tithing rule to their gullible members. These churches got more money than other churches, so they grew faster and became dominant. Other churches trying to compete with them are forced to preach the same rule. Tithing is now a self-sustaining tradition that everyone believes and everyone accepts. 1 Like |

Not that they should not be made at all. |

Ubenedictus: this is not very true. The catholic church isnt big on tithe yet people think she is financially stable. The catholic church actually first brought the doctrine of tithes into christianity and they practised it for centuries. However in modern times with widespread use of the bible and enlightenment it became obvious it was a false doctrine so they decided to retract and preach it as voluntary. However the catholic church being the oldest and richest institution in the world has amassed wealth over the centuries which they continue to re-invest. The catholic church is the largest shareholder in a good number of large corporations in America and around the world they made good money from tithes and other scams like 'sale of indulgence' in the past but today they have moved ahead. They are so huge now that tithe money would seem like peanuts to them. |

@OP That's in the old testament. We're leaving by grace now so all those laws in the old testament do not apply to us. Whether you use graven images or you don't it does not change anything. |
