them in their wallets as reverence ? Aren't these graven images?
Isn't this condemned by the 1st commandment?

Well sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings, I just had to prove a point.
WE CATHOLICS DON'T WORSHIP IMAGES EITHER.

It seems that you fell asleep three thousand years ago and just now you are awake. Well, you need an update ASAP. Nowadays we use planes, trains, computers, cell phones, and many other things. We don't mumify people anymore, now we bury them. By the way, maybe you can teach us some mumification techniques.
First, get updated, after that, we can explain your question.
The situation of the 1rst Commandement has become a little different since Moses.
Something like the Greek language, that has become very different in the last 2000 years

Having a photo of something is not committing idolatry. Worshiping a photo would be idolatry. What about your driver's license if that's the case?

Not unless you are a Muslim.
Muslims believe that if you have a photo or a statue of someone that you are worshiping them.
They don't seem to know the difference between worship and respect.
Peace!

Well I think if they keep a picture on a table with candles burning around it and pray to this picture, yes. But carrying a pic of a family member for memory is not bad. When one of your close family members dies, you'll see that you'll cherish pictures of the past. The pain of loss passes in time.

Give it up! Nice try but that one is pritty pathetic. Can you come up with somthing a little more educated and mature than that?
If your gonna try and slam others for their beleifs come up with somthing better than that.Ill be praying for you!!So be carefull while your do research on this subject you could find your self starting to see the light.Maybe even find your self on your knees.
Then nonbeleivers will call you hipocrit and find things to cut you down about.oh i forgot they probly already do!

The bible doesn't say pictures or statues are evil. It is the worship of these things (or anything other than God) that is evil.
Respecting and remembering those we love has nothing to do with idolotry.

I was thinking more along the lines of why they worship and pray to statues of the Virgin Mary and other saints when Christ used to go around destroying such statuary in the Bible and telling the people it was wrong (the golden calf, etc.). That's idolatry too, is it not?
Just another major hypocracy in the Christian religion...

Yes...that is wrong....God said all christian religions aren't real or true. Some Christians are going to hell. When some people are with a religion and they don't like something with it they go and make another religion without that something they disliked. Thats why there are so many religions now. Many are going to hell.

Idoltry is when you worship the said pictures. Photos are kept as reminders. They are not being prayed to.

It is nearly as much as having those loved ones in view (remember; out of sight... out of mind). If it is bad, then there should not be photos (images)!
