that is not idolatry. idolatry is when your idolizing something. you know when you think of something all the time, when you spend more of your time doing something else then spending your time with God.

You misunderstand idolatry, which means worshiping some created thing in place of the Creator. Taking a photograph, or recording a videotape, or watching a movie is not idolatry.
Something more akin to idolatry is the way people obsess over celebrities. Actors, professional athletes, and others touted by the media are ordinary mortals, no wiser, smarter, or more virtuous than anyone else.

do not concepts Chris/CJ. he's like the retarded cousin of the communicate board. the final element to to is enable him play tag even nevertheless he will merely flow around hitting human beings. They fail to realize that many early Christians, esp. in the process the middle an prolonged time have been illiterate, and in the event that they'd examine in any respect, they probable did not very own many if any books in any respect. hardly ever anybody owned a Bible, some had possibly merely fragments because of the fact it took so long to write down one. The paintings utilized in early and Medieval church homes exchange into not created to be worshiped, yet for use as a coaching connection with the illiterate. and in assessment to what CJ stated, we don't worship the depictions. Reverence and worship are 2 distinctive issues.

Of course I'm against idolatry, as any Christian should be. All of the things you mentioned are fine as long as they don't take the #1 place in your life. You have to constantly ask yourself if you would be willing to give those things up for God, if you were in a situation where you had to.

I'm definitely against idolatry. I wouldn't consider those things you mentioned idols, *unless* people let them take the place of God and their relationship with Him.

I'm not into any kind of idolatry. I don't own a TV, and I'd never even consider idolizing any kind of religious figure.

This sounds like censorship to me. But I'm not surprised to find it here. Many religions keep their followers in line by censoring what they read, watch and listen to. *My theory is this: if your religion is true then it won't matter what you read, watch, or listen to because nothing will turn you from that truth.* So relax, enjoy life, and maybe lighten up a bit! Blessings!

I doubt it. You need to rethink your definition of idolatry.
