If someone else had made thsi statement, you would praise it. Think about this:
When I read this, a Biblical reference stood out in my mind. In 1 Kings 12:25-29, Jeroboam wanted to keep the people from going up to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices, so he built two calves of Gold. If you study this out, you will find that this was actually supposed to be a visible image of Jehovah. However, since Jeroboam’s intentions were purely selfish, he sought to steal the glory and perverted the image of God. Anytime we try to use our own ability to represent Christ, the image of God becomes blurred and people start to see us instead.
