Hi my friends in Christ.
" 'You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth.
Yahweh your God, am a jealous God and I punish a parent's fault in the children, the grandchildren, and the great-grandchildren among those who hate me;
but I act with faithful love towards thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."
Exodus 20 : 4
Can someone help me understand these verses? Are those images only sinful when they are used for idoltary?
My main question: Is modern art like photography sinful? Or is this totally different? Are statues, photos, images sinful when they have nothing to do with idoltary?
