I have seen photos of Him. To see either rendition of Our Lord in person would be so special. Some don't understand statues. Of course we don't think they are the person they represent, merely they draw us closer, and help us remember who they represent. They can even foster devotion. If someone doubts this, then try to remove a picture of their Mother from their wallet, or their Father. Or a photo from a photo frame at home. We all have images to remember others. I have heard Christians say we shouldn't have images, as God said this in the Old Testament at one time. Well, shortly after that, He ordered that angels be carved on the Ark of the Covenant. Why? Because the people's hearts had changed. The issue was that He did not want them worshipping idols, not that he didn't want them to have statues or photos. An idol is not a statue or photo, it is anything that stands in your way from focusing on the Lord. It could be anything that is not good, or even a good thing that one does in access. Shoot, it could even be excessive Twitter (any kind of social media) or addiction I suppose. But statues or photos or paintings in and of themselves are not bad, anything that draws your heart heavenward, or towards a noble person is good... Hope that made sense, amigo. I am not trying to give you a lesson, LOL. That speech was for any Christian or nonChristian who doesn't understand why you posted about the beautiful Christ the Redeemer! krissy knox :) my main blog: <a href="http://sometimesithink-krissy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sometimes I Think</a> Follow me on Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/iamkrissy" rel="nofollow">www.twitter.com/iamkrissy</a> Cristo Redentor is so welcoming.
