How Should Christians View Statues Of Jesus? by OLAADEGBU(m): 6:55pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
How should Christians view statues of Jesus? Is a statue of Jesus considered idolatry? Why are there so many Jesus statues all over the world? Large statues of Jesus, such as Cristo Redentor ("Christ the Redeemer" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, or the Christ of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, are famous worldwide. Questions about the appropriateness of such statues are related to questions about images and icons in general. Is it okay to have images of Jesus of any size? |

It is idolatry because that is what it is, having reverence for an engraved image. Plus the fact that no one knows how christ looked like when on earth. And more importantly, that as christians we should think of christ as the resurrected life giving conquering spirit that he is, whom every knee must bow to. |

OLAADEGBU:One can easily change their focus from the unseen God to them in their minds. That's dangerous. |
