P. 64
lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your
God, which he made with you, and make you
a graven image, or the likeness of any thing,
which the LORD thy God hath forbidden
thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming
24
fire, even a jealous God.” And verse 25 talks
about not corrupting yourselves with graven
images or a likeness of anything that might
resemble God. I believe this is talking about
statues and images and pictures and things
of that nature. So why is it okay to have a
Mary statue as long as it's in the house or in
the church with the baby Jesus? It wouldn't
be okay with Protestants or Baptists any
other time — would it? — but it's okay as
long as you've got the baby Jesus, you see.
There are many religions around the world
