    The second commandment.

    Correct.. Now with the historical information given from the Heidelberg Catechism and the Westminster Standards and the last article how do you reconcile that to make images of Christ relevant to the passages of Scripture shown as proof text and what the church holds to?... If you can explain...

    The second commandment.

    "Unauthorized images of Christ add nothing beneficial to this religion of faith, and serve only to tempt the faithful to take their minds off “things above” (Colossians 3:2) and focus on the creations of human hands. *Such images tempt us to idolatry, the very thing we are to guard ourselves...

    Another look at the Heidelberg Catechism states Q. 97.*Are images then not at all to be made? A.*God neither can, nor may be represented by any means:a*but as to creatures; though they may be represented, yet God forbids to make, or have any resemblance of them, either in order to worship them...

    The second commandment.

    Actually that is incorrect, the commandment given makes no mention of animals unless you intend to bow down and worship them as the golden calf incident as the Israelite nation performed. Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

    What Do Christians believe?

Its brief sentences are artistically arranged and...

    What Do Christians believe?

    What a Christian believes is found also in the great Nicean Creed. "WE BELIEVE in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

    What Do Christians believe?

    One of the best definitions I have read on what is a Christian is summed up by John Hyndryx "What is a Christian? One who, by the grace of God, can declare that he justly deserves the wrath of God, save for the mercy of Jesus Christ alone. He casts aside all hope in his self-righteousness and...
