Many in the Christian community are quick to call out this statue as \u201cidolatry,\u201d but remain silent about the very idols sitting inside their own churches&nbsp; crucifixes, Angels, devils, statues of Mary which has its origin in the goddess easter\/ oestrous aka queen of heaven , crosses, and carved figures of saints that people kneel before, pray to, or venerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is clear hypocrisy. Exodus 20:4\u20135 says plainly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt; \u201cThou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath&#8230; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we are to be truly consistent with Scripture, then the same energy used to protest this statue must be applied within the walls of every church. The crosses, statues, and images that contradict the commandment must also come down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Idolatry is not only out there; it is also within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I call on the nation to stand boldly and call out idolatry wherever it exists&nbsp; not selectively, but completely&nbsp; so that the Most High may be worshipped in spirit and in truth, as Christ declared in John 4:24:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt; \u201cGod is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us be consistent, not hypocritical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shalom<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-946783997\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christians Group to Protest Statue They Say Contradicts Bible. \u201cYou Call This Idolatry?
