amazingkevin Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Kevin, I don't see anything sacrilegious, or wrong with any of these cuttings. And, if they are symbols of worship for other people, what's wrong with making them? Especially, if it brings people closer to the one they worship. Len Thanks Len ,everybodys opinion matters! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well Kevin,I can't seeanything out of the way to me.Kind of resembles some zodiac symbols.

Southern Scroller Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) You're not doing anything wrong. It has become almost the new national pastime to be offended. Too many drama queens running around looking for some reason to join the offended ones in the pc crowd. Besides, religious freedom is what this country was founded upon, not just if yours is like mine. Respect is everything. You do not have to agree to show respect. Sorry. Kinda on the soapbox about this but you did say you wanted our honest opinion.

Tdub4ever Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Kevin, do you look at the Christian cross as an idol or image that is worshipped? Anything can be put in the place that God is to hold in our lives. God knows your heart, that you don't want to do anything that will offend Him. If you are doing wrong He will tell you. (Romans 14:23b "For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 are you worshiping these images you make? I think not . you are OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneleggimp Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I've had a few people tell me that im making grave idol images in wood.Before i ever took this good paying scroll saw job i asked the lady if these are on the dark side so to speak.I don't remember the exact words but It was more explicit.Me being a christian one of the 10 commandments was not to worship or make idols.I can't believe anybody would believe in these small wood items to have any value ,BUT maybe.It' my bread and butter every month and will hurt to stop making them.What is you humble opinions please.Here's the lastest she just had me make .Her store has prescious stones,beads ,necklasses,rings,stone eggs,egyptian items, etc.I don't see any goolish, devilish type things in there?031.jpg032.jpg033.jpg035.jpg036.jpg011.jpg012.jpg004.jpg006.jpg007.jpg003.jpg004.jpg002.jpg003.jpg013.jpg014.jpg Hi Kevin - what you are making is an ANKH. This dates back to antiquity in Egypt. . Some extreme interpretations of the Commandment to make no graven image interpret it such that even a photograph is a graven image (the Amish are one such group). Others say that coins with a head on them (such as the Lincoln penny) violate the Commandment. I feel that these interpretations are extreme. Having said all that, the Ankh is not an image of either a human, an animal or a plant, nor is it a representation of a (false) god. In my opinion it is NOT a graven image by any normal interpretation.
