Angay pa jud ampu.an ang rebulto ?

[King]

---

para nako kay dili. ang basehan pod nako naa sa bibliya. gkan sa old testament hangtod sa Revelation wa jud tay makita nga ang mga sumusunod sa Ginoo ga ampo og rebolto. ang ato hinoong makita kay gipang silotan ang katong mga tao nga nagbuhat buhat og imahen nga nag represent kono sa Ginoo.

so if we want to follow the traditions of the early church let's kneel and fold our hands before the unseen God, worship Him in spirit and in truth.

well said.

Respetuhay nalang

[King]

John 17:17
Your Word is Truth

ang atong kalalis ang Bible if we don't believe and do what it is in the Bible. Just think and meditate about it. and apply what we learn in the Bible.

[King]

Respetuhay nalang

sharing of knowledge is not disrespectful. and yes i respect you as a person. sharing of knowledge in the Bible is an act of Love.

1 Timothy 4:16.
16 Pay constant attention to yourself and to your teaching. Stay by these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

well there's one thing that's for sure..Jesus knows every heart..
and He wants us to be united as Christians..wa ko kahibaw unsaon..but
i'm sure that would bring a smile to his face.

1*Timothy 2:4
This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, 4*whose will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

this will be our goal first. gain accurate knowledge of truth.

different kinds of knowledge comes from different kinds of study.

but in the bible, truth comes in only in God's word. to gain accurate knowledge we must read the bible and apply what we have learn.

James 2:17
Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.
James 4:16,17
16*But now YOU take pride in YOUR self-assuming brags. All such taking of pride is wicked. 17*Therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him.

May images be used simply as aids in worship of the true God?

John 4:23, 24, JB: “True worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: that is the kind of worshipper the Father wants. God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth.” (Those who rely on images as aids to devotion are not worshiping God “in spirit” but they depend on what they can see with their physical eyes.)
2 Cor. 5:7, NAB: “We walk by faith, not by sight.”
Isa. 40:18, JB: “To whom could you liken God? What image could you contrive of him?”
Acts 17:29, JB: “Since we are the children of God, we have no excuse for thinking that the deity looks like anything in gold, silver or stone that has been carved and designed by a man.”
Isa. 42:8, JB: “My name is Yahweh, I will not yield my glory to another, nor my honour to idols [“graven things,” Dy].”


Should we venerate “saints” as intercessors with God, perhaps using images of them as aids in our worship?
Acts 10:25, 26, JB: “As Peter reached the house Cornelius went out to meet him, knelt at his feet and prostrated himself. But Peter helped him up. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘I am only a man after all!’” (Since Peter did not approve of such adoration when he was personally present, would he encourage us to kneel before an image of him? See also Revelation 19:10.)
John 14:6, 14, JB: “Jesus said: ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you ask for anything in my name, I will do it.’” (Jesus here clearly states that our approach to the Father can be only through him and that our requests are to be made in Jesus’ name.)
1 Tim. 2:5, JB: “There is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and mankind, himself a man, Christ Jesus.” (There is no allowance here for others to serve in the role of mediator for the members of Christ’s congregation.)

How does God view images that are objects of worship?
Jer. 10:14, 15, JB: “Every goldsmith blushes for the idol he has made, since his images are nothing but delusion, with no breath in them. They are a Nothing, a laughable production.”

Isa. 44:13-19, JB: “The wood carver takes his measurements, outlines the image with chalk, carves it with chisels, following the outline with dividers. He shapes it to human proportions, and gives it a human face, for it to live in a temple. He cut down a cedar, or else took a cypress or an oak which he selected from the trees in the forest, or maybe he planted a cedar and the rain made it grow. For the common man it is so much fuel; he uses it to warm himself, he also burns it to bake his bread. But this fellow makes a god of it and worships it; he makes an idol of it and bows down before it. Half of it he burns in the fire, on the live embers he roasts meat, eats it and is replete. He warms himself too. ‘Ah!’ says he ‘I am warm; I have a fire here!’ With the rest he makes his god, his idol; he bows down before it and worships it and prays to it. ‘Save me,’ he says ‘because you are my god.’ They know nothing, understand nothing. Their eyes are shut to all seeing, their heart to all reason. They never think, they lack the knowledge and wit to say, ‘I burned half of it on the fire, I baked bread on the live embers, I roasted meat and ate it, and am I to make some abomination of what remains? Am I to bow down before a block of wood?’”

Ezek. 14:6, JB: “The Lord Yahweh says this: Come back, renounce your idols [“dungy idols,” NW] and give up all your filthy practices.”

Ezek. 7:20, JB: “They used to pride themselves on the beauty of their jewellery, out of which they made their loathsome images and idols. That is why I mean to make it an object of horror [“uncleanness,” Dy; “refuse,” NAB] to them.”

What effect could use of images in worship have on our own future?

Deut. 4:25, 26, JB: “If you act perversely, making a carved image in one shape or another [“some idol,” Kx; “any similitude,” Dy], doing what displeases Yahweh and angers him, on that day I will call heaven and earth to witness against you; . . . you shall be utterly destroyed.” (God’s viewpoint has not changed. See Malachi 3:5, 6.)
1 Cor. 10:14, 20, JB: “This is the reason, my dear brothers, why you must keep clear of idolatry. . . . The sacrifices that they offer they sacrifice to demons who are not God. I have no desire to see you in communion with demons.”
Rev. 21:8, JB: “The legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and fornicators, and for fortune-tellers, idolaters or any other sort of liars, is the second death [ftn., “eternal death”] in the burning lake of sulphur.”
Ps. 115:4-8, JB (113:4-8, second set of numbers, Dy): “Their idols, in silver and gold, products of human skill, have mouths, but never speak, eyes, but never see, ears, but never hear, noses, but never smell, hands, but never touch, feet, but never walk, and not a sound from their throats. Their makers will end up like them, and so will anyone who relies on them.”

blue highlighted we hope we are not that man who are close-minded for the truth, and don't see clearly what the bible says. we need to act according to what the bible really teaches us to do, what is right.

Originally, ggmit ra ang rebulto to remind us that there is someone beyong us (whoever it is, dependi nana sa a2ng tnuohan mao ng lahi2x ta ug mga rebulto)... just like any any other symbols, painting drawing that we can find all over the world but sad to say nga ang rebulto/symbols na nuon ang g.adore sa kdaghan, dili na ang g represent ani nga rebulto... but anyway, faith is everthing.. if you have faith that that stone can heal you, then it can for sure! daghan na ng patay 2ngod sa pag2o? or dba nuon, daghan ng nagpatay 2ngod sa dili ta m respito sa pg2o sa uban? let us respect each other...
