STEEMCHURCH: VENERATION OF IMAGES

Millions of people venerate images. Does the Bible approve this custom? Does God like it?
Did faithful Jews worship biblical times?
In the Hebrew Scriptures, also called the Old Testament, veneration of images is condemned time after time.
Jews used many images to worship God. "These representations were revered, honored and revered."
The faithful Jews did not revere the engravings or the figures of the temple. In fact, nowhere in the Bible do we read of any faithful Jew who used images to worship God.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:

"No one else will I give my own glory," said God through the prophet Isaiah, "nor my praise to images" (Isaiah 42: 8).

Did the first Christians use images to worship God?

"What agreement does the temple of God have with idols?" "Stop touching the unclean thing." (2 Corinthians 6:16, 17).
The veneration of images is a religious custom that has no biblical support. For that reason, Jehovah's Witnesses do not revere images or have them in their homes or in their places of worship.
When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he did not tell them to use images. What is more, in the Greek Scriptures there is not even the idea that we have to use images to worship God.
"It is Jehovah your God whom you have to worship, and it is only him whom you have to render sacred service" (Matthew 4:10)

Hola, muy polémico este tema debería desatar una matriz de opinión donde muchos estén participando en esta pregunta épica de "adorar" imágenes.
Primero los Cristianos Católicos NO adoramos las imágenes, simplemente las respetamos , las veneramos y las tenemos como recuerdo, personas como Jesús, la Virgen y los Santos, al igual que cada uno puede tener la foto de su madre o su hijo y la ve de vez en cuando.
Segundo, Dios manda a hacer imágenes en Éxodo 25, 16-22
Dios lo que quiere es que no Amemos ni adoremos nada más que no sea él. Amarás al Señor con toda tu alma, tu mente y corazón. Saludos y muchos éxitos!! tiene mi voto y estaré pendiente de sus próximas publicaciones soy muy abierta y me encanta aprender sobre otras religiones

Gracias por detenerte a leer mi post, y me agrada que te haya gustado amiga. Comparto abiertamente tu opinión!!
