Word twisting meaning is so transparent.

"Please show where Jesus ever told anyone to make statues of Mary."

That's silly. It is not necessary to show that Jesus said to make statues of Mary, any more than it is necessary to show He told anyone to make statues of the Pilgrim Fathers or of Evangelical missionaries.


John Wesley

Or Bibles, crosses, churches, pews, tracts, hymnals, baptismal tanks tubs or fonts, wedding rings, veils, caskets, tombstones, calendars, websites or pings.

Do you believe that "That which is not commanded is forbidden"? I hope not, because it is a repugnant, Orwellian, un-Biblical and un-Christian idea.

No but reversing a commandment surely would be needed for making statues that you use in worship. There was a direct command by God to not bow down to statues. As also there was a distinct command to not eat blood which was reinforced in the New Testament.
