[quote:Guarnere09:MV8yMDIyMjE4XzMzOTg1NDcyX0JCMjhDMUMw] Clearly means no statues or anything. Dont bow down to them, dont say prayers to them. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them Matthew 5:17-20 (NASB) “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” We are not judged by it, cause we would never make it thats why Jesus came. Acts 17:24-25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. Hard for a Church to keep you tied down, and take your money when you know these things. Church is to fellowship. Today its part of the Gov, so they can be taxed exempt thats why they want you to be a member. [/quote]

Dear fellow brothers in Christ I am curious to know how do you interpret the second commandment :
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Please reply in a civilized and Godly manner and do not let difference in opinion divide us.
