Please respond to my comments about how the Lord’s anger rages at those who bow to idols throughout the Old Testament. I can give you verses if you want, although I’m sure they will be called “lame”.

I have never "bowed to a statue, I have however genuflected before the tabernacle that contains the Body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaking of the OT can you explain why God directed the people of Israel to create and look on the Bronze serpent in Numbers 21 4-9.

I was HOPING you'd ask that! It's not wrong to create art. The problem is bowing to it. The Isrealites were never directed to bow to the bronze serpent, nor to the Ark! Where are the tabernacles in these photos located? (BTW - I already commented about the blood and body being symbolic. Jesus said he had been speaking figuratively in John 16:25. Can we agree on this?) Bowing Bowing to the Pope Bowing to Mary
