Is that idolatry?
It's a 'substance', right?
I don't really understand.
Could you explain in more detail?
Is worshiping a bull idol considered idolatry?
I'm asking about idolatry.
Not about what you believe.
If you worship material things, is that idolatry?
Using parables does not make you a prophet.
Is it idolatry to attribute divinity to the cross?
What I'm trying to say is that while God's intentions may be contained in 'matter,' I don't think God is there.
Why should accept a prophet?
I think that the cross was simply an object used as an instrument of death.
As you say, I think it's good to see these things as material reminders of something.
However, I was wondering if attributing divinity to it amounts to idolatry.
So what's important is that they say what is considered to be correct, right?
In other words, don't necessarily have to accept the prophet.
So that means there's no divinity there, right?
And even though it is not an object of worship and there is no divinity in it, doesn't trying to give it divinity amount to something like symbolism?
I was talking about idolatry and symbolism through the attribution of divinity to matter, etc.
It's good to feel that everything is mysterious.
Oh sorry, I'm talking in the realm of ideas.
However, I have doubts about the idea of giving it an unclear divinity.
Oh, was that a pastor's imitation or a proselytizing exercise?
I don't use the Bible like that.
It's okay, don't worry, I'm more focused on finding hope in this world than finding hope in the afterlife.
Ephphatha!!!
