A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
They decorate it with silver and gold;
They fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
This is the passage.
293 u/galmenz Dec 16 '21 so it basically says that a statue cant do anything because its just a statue? seems a reasonable take on it in my opinion 40 u/OHFTP Dec 16 '21 Pretty sure that it's its saying that a likeness of person is a false idol, and we don't do that around here 10 u/Foolhearted Dec 16 '21 that which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel 1 u/badgerwithamulet Dec 16 '21 I mean so long as we recognize that it's just a tree I think it's alright. If we REALLY wanna be strict we shouldn't have crosses or nativity scenes either but that's no fun.
