Statues of Jesus?

[tweedlealice]

Of course they’re important, if we’re talking about a loved one. But God warned us against making idols of Him, and while He did command idols be made for His purposes, did He ever mandate us to make one of Him?

(The above is what I think an objection to the normal Catholic rebuttal would be, and I’m interested in seeing an answer to this question. While I personally don’t know a good response to it, maybe someone else will)

Salutations,
Christ said “I come to fulfill the Old Testament, not to cancel it. BUT He, as a human knows our hearts. His teachings changed our way of living under legalism to living with the Spirit. An eye for an eye is gone. Sharia law is gone. " Forgive them for they know not what they do.”
It’s a different journey.
in Christ’s love,
