BUT...I believe this was primarily a CHRISTIAN topic...and I don’t know ANY Christians who WORSHIP idols. Perhaps you are confused?

Now, there my be many who call themselves Christians and who do worship money, prestige, etc......but that’s another topic.

One. I am not "confused." I suggest you read some on the topic. There are several "religions" or "faiths" that "call themselves" Christians that actually have their idols in their various "churches" and worship them. There are plenty out there today using the title of "Christian" and are not true Christians. Christ said there would be these types and there are.

2. Yes, worship of money, people, stuff, IS idol worship. You might not agree and that is YOUR opinion. But, it is idol worship regardless of what you think. And that is not just my opinion, it is an opinion given that I happen to completely agree with.

Retired Army,
Sounds as if he retired from reading words as they are written. The Shroud isn't an idol. It's a relic. THAT is Old Testament. Wasn't Elisha's grave a relic in that someone was buried next to Elisha's bones and those bones and the dead man's touched and the dead man came back to life. Now, that's a relic and a half.

Perhaps this retired army person doesn't know his Old Testament, the source of relicquery.

Permanent grump.
