Monkey God and Obama

Which is why liberal democrats are not worshipping God.. .they vote their wallets instead of against Abortion.

Money over murder...

No wonder Obama wears a monkey god.

 

Has anyone bothered to read 1 Cor 8 lately? The object, idol, whatever, is a piece of wood, plastic, or glass. It has no power. If God is guiding your life, and your household's life, what power do these objects have in or out of your house? For that matter, put a buddah on your roof and give him a red flashing nose.

It is almost if some believe these objects in themselves have some kind of power. They have the power you attribute to them.

Is there something wrong with an object in a collection cabinet of that nature that was given as a gift from a friend overseas? No. I doubt the person displaying that object in a collection is walking by and worshiping it everyday. Dont forget to throw out your hat racks. There is a close resemblence to an ancient diety.

What is sad is no one seems to even know whether the object is being worshiped, and if it is not, dont understand the difference.

 

Did you read my post? That is not the point. The point is some have taken this thread way beyond that, to attibute power to objects themselves. Its called self fulfilling prophecy.

 

I would be interested to know which posts attribute power to "these objects".

 

Yes, if you read 1 Cor 8, you would see Paul said those who worship idols are worshiping demons. Those who worship such are dabbling with powers of darkness. Such a person could not be saved. However, your posts and others go way beyond this, giving these objects fear when no worship is going on.

 

bump.................

 

Here is one.

 

As some one from Asia, and idol worship is common, I would say, yes, there is demonic power in these objects, whether the bearer believes it or not.

But even if you disagree with me, this is what the Bible says regarding this:

1 Corinthians 10:19-21 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.


Yes, food being offered to idols is a very practical lesson on what to do for us in Singapore, you know, because this kind of thing really happens. Is it the same for you? Would you take the Word of God and apply it? What if you go to a friend's house when they are serving food that you know not if the food had been offered to an idol before hand? (But there is a huge idol sitting in the living room of the house?)

There is a power behind these idols and that is the devils'. From what I gather from reading here, I find many "western" (as opposed to "eastern or asian") posters dismiss these as something akin to "hocus pocus" . THat's ignorance to the spiritual battle that is raging in the heavenlies and the Enemy can have free discourse because of this ignorance.

blessings and peace to you.

 

Talk about overshooting something

 

I'll say this one more time. I do not support abortion. Neither have I seen the Republican party do anything about it. Christians are in the Republican's back pockets because all the Republican's have to do is mouth the standard line to get the so-called evangelical Christian vote. Since I also do not support the murder of innocent women and children following the Republican invasion of Iraq and I believe Obama will stop it, I supported him.

 

Yep, you are absolutely correct! Amen.

 

Read Chapter 8 of the same book.

 

Yes, but it does mean that without the element of worship, it is just a piece of wood.
