The grace of God has protected me from it, not religion, religion for the most part is works by human effort, basically, i dont have ''normal'' wants and desires, the things i care about are up above, its called being born again or regeneration.
The bible says not to worship any image, if you do your committing a grave sin against God, i personally dont even bother with them jewellery crosses, it gives no exception regardless of what a person would like to think, not to sure what your teacher was trying to say but it doesnt sound biblical, but your description of what was said is not toooo clear anyway
. but nowadays you have people who call themselves Christian and behave in a way even a wordly person wouldnt behave, im sure youve seen them before, they are called false converts, the bible speaks about them.
The vid does show a guy who was guilty of that, yes, good memory(Y).
im listening to a Sermon right now so im not going to sleep for about another hour -woot2
