AM I ALLOWED TO PAINT GOD?

The second commandment of the celebrated ten, forbids making images of God or false gods that may become objects of worship.

I have a question. I won’t resolve it with this blog entry but I will ask it and speculate about it. As an artist, I wish to know whether that prevents me from painting an image of God if my intention is purely aesthetic rather than devotional.

JESUS IS ADEQUATE. JESUS IS ENOUGH. JESUS IS ALL YOU NEED.

JESUS IS ADEQUATE. JESUS IS ENOUGH. JESUS IS ALL YOU NEED.

Is it possible that some Christians in some Christian churches and leaders of some Christian congregations today are actually practicing aspects of faith to which the apostle Paul would object?

Paul maintained tenaciously that Jesus Christ is entirely adequate and nothing more than a faith relationship with Christ is required for admission to the presence of God the Father and a life with God beyond this earthly time. Sometimes church leaders, programs and practices which should remain supportive of the primary focus upon Christ, expect a loyalty that implies the relationship with Christ is dependent upon these ancillary aspects.
