I agree.
The Bible doesn’t just frown on the idea of making images of Jesus, it puts it in the same category as making images of golden cows and frog-headed gods. The Second Commandment lays it out clearly: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above…” (Exodus 20:4). Now, last time I checked, Jesus, being the Son of God, is very much “in heaven above.”
The problem isn’t that artists are bad at their craft. The problem is theological. The moment you try to capture the infinite Word made flesh with paint and clay, you start preaching a silent but misleading sermon. You end up with a Jesus who looks either like a shampoo model from Nazareth or a forlorn hippie with good lighting, neither of which quite fits the “King of Kings” profile.
So, the prohibition isn’t God being a cosmic killjoy for art students. It’s God protecting us from trading the living Christ for a mascot of our own making. In short: don’t make a Jesus you can hang on a wall, because He’s the sort of King who doesn’t fit in a frame.
I agree, JESUS dwells within us!
Very well said.
Well said.
What a comment... I couldn't agree more, and you worded it so well! It's sad to think that some want to look to a material thing when He is always accessible in the spirit
Then you better destroy any pictures of Jesus and any crosses that you own..
I don't own any lol!
You're comment reads like Chatgpt wrote it.
"Its not just X, it's Y" is the biggest giveaway.
All your missing is em dashes...
Let me guess... You went to public school and you don't read or write for pleasure.
How'd I do?
Public school, yes. No college. I read and write for pleasure, both fiction and non fiction, and I'm a small business owner.
You still sounded like chatgpt, and you getting offended like a chick proved it probably was chatgpt, hahaha!
The fact that you got "offended" out of what what clearly flippant & dismissive speaks volumes.
I write for the same reason a dog barks... It's my nature.
