I'm in favor of destroying graven images of "Jesus" like that, but I'm against the sentiment that would lead someone to do it if it is anti-Christian as its root.


What about all the graven image statues in the catholic church?

"An April 2024 SummitMinistries/RMG Research poll revealed that young adults eighteen to twenty-four are more than three times as likely as the general population to deny that Israel even has a right to exist"

Why would young people be so inclined to hate Israel when they have an extremely limited life experience? What life experience do any of you have where you were personally wronged by Israel?

The answer is, they don't have any personal experience, they are being brainwashed by seeing and reading online propaganda from Iran and their proxies Hezbollah and Hamas. And this, after the October 7th massacre!

Or they’re tired of being lectured to by boomers waving combo American/Israeli flags telling them it’s their godly duty to go to war in defense of another nation.

the sooner we start looking at Israel as religious fanatics just like their neighbors, the better.

I could not care less what happens to Israel.

This is called the heresy of Iconoclasm and was condemned by the Church at the Second Council of Nicaea (787).

That shows a lot of intelligence, supporting terrorists because your elders tell you they are bad!

Grow up.

Do you really want an entire race, ethnicity, countryman to have to explain for one idiot's actions as if it reflects on all like-kind peoples? If so, white people who claim to be Chiristians might be required to answer for Hitler and his brethern...

Most people don't need to be told what is or is not a terrorist. They see the evidence with their own eyes.

I'm not in favor of destroying private property, such as someone on the street going into a Catholic church and smashing windows and statues.

However, I do think those images are violations of the 2nd commandment and God is not pleased by them.

Finish the passage.

After the passage in question, we read: "You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God." Given this contextual prohibition of idolatry, it's reasonable to conclude that God's command not to make "graven images" refers to making images to be worshiped as deities.

Here is the most decisive biblical argument: In Numbers 21:8-9, God commands Moses to make a graven image (a bronze serpent) set on a pole, so that anyone bitten by a serpent would live when they looked at it. This graven image is used by God, in a religious context, to heal those who had been bitten.

Furthermore, in Exodus 25:18-19, God commands the making of the two cherubim of gold on either side of the mercy seat atop the Ark of the Covenant, the holiest religious artifact in all of Israel. And the inner sanctuary of the Temple contained two large statues of angels (1 Kings 6:23-28), and Solomon also had the walls of the Temple decorated with carved images of angels, palm trees, and flowers (1 Kings 6:29).

The conclusion is inescapable: when God said "Do not make graven images," He wasn't saying "Do not make images of any kind," because He later commanded people to make images. He was condemning idolatry, not the making of statues, because if He were condemning the making of statues, He would contradict Himself.

Hope this helps!

In that case, what the Jewish soldier did by smashing the Jesus Idol is an act that pleased God, according to you. You and the Jewish soldier are in agreement here.
