It was written in those times, and since the bible is gods word doesn't that imply that he does feel threatened by those craven images? That they do hold some power?
i beg to differ here
men wrote these words
some interpretation was involved, even if "god" spoke thru them
thus the confusion
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
