You can not logically use the fact that God commanded
Moses to put angels on the ark of the covenant to
completely overturn the Law that God also commanded Moses.
God gave Moses the Law and it reads:
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
This is what you are basically saying ...
because God commanded Moses to engrave angels at one place
we can ignore the Ten Commandments
Perhaps we could go further.- since you can prove God ignored
His own laws concerning the graven images
we can also ignore ALL of His Laws?
After all - God stole from the Egyptions.
God cause the Egyptions to "lend" gold to the Israelites
the day before He led them out of Egypt KNOWING they
would never return to repay it - therefore we can steal!!
Exodus 3:22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour,
and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver,
and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them
upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil
the Egyptians.
Exodus 12:35 And the children of Israel did according to
the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
Obviously according to your logic - we can also steal.
BTW It is not an act of 'self righteousness' to call men to repent.
As Christians we are called to obey God as best we can
and to repent when we discover we are wrong.
RE>>Why not stick with the Holy Bible itself, instead of
referring me off to some book about a specific church? <<
The Catholic Church does not listen to scripture - yet you are
offended that I direct you to a book other than the Bible?
Sorry I will never do that again - I can easily point out
the blatant errors of Rome without using anyone else's works.
I however find it a waste of time - as they are not listening anyway.
It's a shame you will not read it - it would have done you good.
It is solely based upon the scriptures and very well written.
