Magic And Idols In Apostolic Church

[diakonos]

Attack someone that doesn’t post here because posters here attack you. Good one.

My two cents.. when my children were small I discouraged anything that was even faintly associated with magic, as well as any sort of idol. I realize we are not children, but to have any statue/ idol connection is not wise. I can’t think of any reason why anyone that is an apostolic christian would delve into it. By the way, Brother Arnold has always been a favorite of mine.

There is entirely too little information to go on from Mr. Arnold to successfully say much of anything one way or another. All accused parties in the Holy Scriptures are allowed to testify upon their own behalfs if or when they are suspected of wrongdoing.

Without him being here, there isn't enough evidence to go on to indict, let alone convict.

Does he even know who the statue is supposed to be and what it represents?

How did he acquire it?

Did someone give it to him as a gift?

If so, for what reason?

Has he ever bent the knee and worshipped it?

If so, are there witnesses?

Unless and until these questions are answered by him, I think we need to drop this. If Michael or anyone else reaches him for contact and wants to pursue this with him personally, or invite him to the former to speak to this, that is their choice. Otherwise, there is nothing any of us can do but go round and round in circles debating.

This being the case, unless someone can give a reason why this thread shouldn't be locked until we have more information from Mr. Arnold, I will lock it tomorrow.

These type threads should systematically be shut down at the very outset, IMO.
