Is that what that is??
Notice, the lower part of the 'lei'. Talk about revolting.

Not really. They had a lot of them in the early days. Portraits were hanging from the very start.Robin Hood wrote: ↑November 24th, 2022, 4:50 pmBut statues in temples is a fairly recent phenomenon.Luke wrote: ↑November 24th, 2022, 4:37 pmNah… else Jesus wouldn’t have appeared in some of them.

[King Og from the Book of Numbers, the "last of the rephaim"] Well, that particular measurement is the way that ancient peoples said they saw spiritual beings appearing to them, that when a god shows up, that they’re usually about 15 feet tall.
Fr. Stephen: Now I’m going to flip it: We’ll talk more about bodies, divine bodies, in a future episode.
Fr. Andrew: There you go!
Fr. Stephen: But, yes, one of the bodies that a god had in the ancient world was what’s now called his liturgical body, and that’s 15 feet tall, pretty much uniformly across pagan cultures.

Golden Statue. Golden Plates. Namaste Gestures (literally means I bow to you). Ok everything checks out.

So let me get this straight, this is the same church making 16 year olds cry for messing up the sacrament prayer for the 10th time and has a general authority apostle in the presence of this lewd lei and he is totally fine with it.

The oxen are functional though. They hold up the font. They are not admired or reverenced. Additionally, the design was given by revelation.

Yeah, we can't stop others from building that statue, but posing in front of it like that is so wrong.Letfreedumbring wrote: ↑November 24th, 2022, 9:05 pmGolden Statue. Golden Plates. Namaste Gestures (literally means I bow to you). Ok everything checks out.

I regularly give and accept the challenge to be the weirdest possible…
Another idol.
Having statues & images in temples & churches is including them in worship. It’s wrong according to scripture… & according to spirituality.Luke wrote: ↑November 24th, 2022, 11:49 amI used to think this.
However, it simply doesn’t stand under logic. If this were true, then all the Temples built in this dispensation were immediately desecrated by the presence of statues and portraits.
I just don’t think God is such a Pharisee about this, especially in light of things like the above.
When God spoke of making graven images He spoke of likenesses of idols built for the purpose of worshipping in place of Him.

Just remember, it's SUPER IMPORTANT that the world knows the name of the church, and nothing we do should distract from that, and... oh, ouch, the sun just bounced off that 15 foot golden statue of Joseph Smith and I lost my train of thought...CuriousThinker wrote: ↑November 25th, 2022, 7:29 amYeah, we can't stop others from building that statue, but posing in front of it like that is so wrong.Letfreedumbring wrote: ↑November 24th, 2022, 9:05 pmGolden Statue.
