Don't get caught up in the numbering??.. If we are not accurate with the numerical facts why did God call it the 10 commandments?.. Because they are numbered in a order for our obedience Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

I respect your position.. But as you can see, it was not a stretch with the commandment nor from the reformers and it shouldn't be for us. Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Nothing personal.. I asked because we are discussing the images and if they felt that the command was the third then we both are on the wrong topic Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Snerfle, can you tell me what is the 2nd commandment? Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

In an age of individualism and skeletel creeds or barebone statements of belief, the rich tradition of corporate confessions of faith provide a vital link to the church of ages past and the saints of all ages. Creeds of Christendom - Name and Definition by Philip Schaff Sent from my LGMS631...

**“God is opposed to idols, that all may know He is the only fit witness to Himself. *He expressly forbids any attempt to represent Him by a bodily shape . . . We must hold it as a first principle, that as often as any form is assigned to God, his glory is corrupted by an impious lie”...

The language used in that Creed was from the late 16th century and in no way implied that we are dumb in the scholastical sense.. So no the people that maybe participating in a play or such are only following what was allowed and given from their leadership... Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Q&A 97 Q. May we then not make any image at all? A. God can not and may not be visibly portrayed in any way. Although creatures may be portrayed, yet God forbids making or having such images if one's intention is to worship them or to serve God through them.1 1 Ex. 34:13-14, 17; 2 Kings...

''It is the making of a lie about the invisible God, and worshipping that lie. The image worshipper wantonly deprives God of His glory. For the living God is the Creator, but an image is always the representation of a creature. God is a Spirit and essentially invisible, but an image is always...

Making of any image of God, by an actor is not only wrong it is sinful, and the historical church following that which was laid out made sure that this commandment was known as given earlier by the Heidelberg Catechism and the Westminster Larger Catechism and the many other proof texts, and as...
