in God\u2019s eternal plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five Benefits Highlighted by Pastor Doyle<br>1. Educational Tool: Helps members understand prophecy and God\u2019s control over history (Daniel 2:44).<br>2. Evangelistic Opportunity: Invites curiosity and discussion about biblical prophecy and Christ\u2019s return.<br>3. Spiritual Reminder: Reinforces that God\u2019s kingdom is everlasting (Daniel 2:35).<br>4. Motivates Faith: Strengthens believers\u2019 confidence that God\u2019s kingdom will outlast all earthly powers (Psalm 146:3-4).<br>5. Community Engagement: Fosters shared experiences that build unity and faith among members.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2710954980\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Pastor Doyle was careful to acknowledge that there are potential disadvantages to consider.<\/p><div id=\"antig-870074545\" class=\"antig-content_6 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:100\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:342\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:256\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Possible Disadvantages<br>1. Misinterpretation: In cultures where religious images are uncommon, replicas may be misunderstood, leading to accusations of idolatry (Exodus 20:4).<br>2. Legal or Cultural Conflicts: In regions where public religious symbols are restricted, such displays could spark controversy or legal disputes, shifting attention away from the gospel\u2019s message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doyle further clarified the biblical foundation for his reasoning by outlining the Commandment in Exodus 20:4\u20135, which prohibits making or worshiping graven images. He emphasized that the sin lies not in the creation of an image, but in the act of worshiping or serving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biblical context is that God\u2019s people should not make any graven image for the purpose of worshiping it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cMaking images of anything is not inherently sinful; it is the worshiping of the image that God forbids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the discussion continues, one of the central questions now being raised is whether Antiguan law prohibits the erection of such a statue. Legal experts and community leaders are being called upon to provide clarity on this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Pastor Doyle\u2019s balanced approach has brought a measure of theological insight and calm to a debate that has caused significant division within the Christian community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Many hope his explanation will help shift the focus back to understanding prophecy and promoting unity rather than contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-932620272\" 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>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP In a recent social media post, Pastor K.
