It gave me an idea: how about an action movie?

I was thinking of the scene of the temple.

Picture this:

Jesus drives by the shopping mall (near the Church) and shoots everyone with a nail gun!

Then comes back with a flamethrower (divine fire) and drops a few blessed grenades to make a point.

The "good" deads go straight to heavens (saved), and the bad ones in Hell (not saved).

That would make a fantastic movie: "The Second Coming: this time he means it" or "The Second Coming: Full Throttle"

Whadayatink?

k, maybe isn't wasn't Mr. J but at least Mr. G said it:

Exodus 20:4, "Thou shalt not make unto 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:"

Deuteronomy 29:17, "And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:"

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 unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Leviticus 26:1, "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."
So listen to Mr. J or Mr. G?

So therefore the question is......... Are the Christian action figures blasphemous?

Well, see us Christians are really big on doing what the G-man says. Cuz he's like the Man.

But no. As long as they don't worship the action figures, it isn't blasphemy. Jesus was real and of the Earth. So making a figure of him is OK.

Seeing how Catholics bow beneath statues of Christ or virgin Maria, it seems the Church has decided to bend the laws a little no?

Sounds fair enough. And yes, the Church(especially the Catholic church) seems to have bent the rules a little here and there as it suits them.

Mr. G the Man probably won't be too happy with that IMHO
