What about statues?
Quoting: countryleftypenn Statues are a visual aid only , they are NOT worshiped ,they only bring to mind a particular saint when one is asking the saint to intercede in our behalf with God. As I see it the saints have graduated and we who are alive are students only. Then according to you then Jesus died for nothing. He died so that we NEVER had to go through men to reach God, and he became the sacrifice needed. Through him and ONLY him do we have access to the throne of God. He is the ONLY way to the father. If you had read the Hebrew Bible, which you faith is supposed to be based on you would realize that the sin offerings were either for thanksgiving or for sins that you unintentionally commited. For sins that were intentionally committed you were able to repent and change your ways. There was always a direct connection between you and G-d through repentance. You do not need to go through a false prophet named "jesus" to get to G-d. You should brush up on your Torah for some enlightenment in the areas that are the basis for the Christian faith. You should also compare and contrast your jesus and his apostles with Paul. And unbeknownst to you the penalty of those sins were simply accumulating in the background, forgiven for yet another year but that ultimately there would be a day of reckoning? Or do you not yet know that those annual sacrifices were a reminder of your sins? And he placed those sins on Jesus who paid the debt, That is why he said they'd die in their sins if they did not believe he was who he said he was.
