First of all, the Commandment is against worshipping idols. One the one hand, a symbol isn't an idol. |
Actually it is look in the Dictinary under Idol. Idol=Religious symbol used to depict a god and/or focus worship.

The second you think or say this is the image(or representation) of my god, you worship it. I have seen ppl stand before crosses and pray, ppl look at statues for hope, have a sense that the statues are "holy" that the cross is "holy" ....is that not w-o-r-s-h-i-p.

Look whos talking. You are a long way off from proving your knowledge as well.

How do you know? Religous assuption aside. Are you say a) Jesus cant write or b) that after a life time of trying to help ppl that he decided that he would just go and let them screw themselves over? If I was Jesus I would write something down too, hoping that someone would gain some form of benefit from it. This does not prove anything but it says something about your willingness to dismiss an idea out of hand.
Thinking about the dead sea scrolls don't they also have a related copy called the St Tomas scrolls?
