Ra (sun god) and Horus (falcon-headed god of the sky),
* The “ heaven above” refers to the Egyptian sky gods they were worshiping, such as: When God says “in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth,” He is specifically telling them to stop trying to be like the Egyptians.
They imitated what they saw around them which was the Egyptian worship of their gods. Why is God so specific about this commandment? As you remember, God’s people Israel were slaves in Egypt. When someone’s great-great grandchildren would be dealing with the impact of the choices of a past sinful generation. It is pretty serious when God’s wrath goes to the fourth generation. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” “You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. When God gave this commandment to Moses, he added how offensive it is to God to worship Him in any other way than how He has commanded us in the Bible. The 2nd commandment is concerned with how we worship. The 1st commandment is concerned with who we worship. Basically what the story was saying, if you believe in something hard enough, it will come true. Got to love Disney.Īlthough I loved the movie, this part of the story is one of the worst pictures of faith. As if clapping could save someone from the deadly effects of poison. Tinker Bell is saved because people believed hard enough in fairies. Peter Pan tells the audience to show that they believe in fairies by clapping their hands. However, we find that Tinker Bell is not dying of poison but of not enough people believing in fairies. Tinker Bell discovers the plot and drinks it before he can. There is a part in the story that in Captain Hook’s obsession to get Peter Pan that he tries to poison him. According to the story, she is so small that she can only hold one feeling inside at a time, which explains when she gets angry or jealous, she is rather unpleasant to be around. One of Peter Pan’s companions is the fairy Tinker Bell. It had everything a boy could want, adventure, pirates, Captain Hook, sword fights, treasure, flying, and of course, playing all day and never growing up.
GRAVEN IMAGES BIBLICAL MOVIE
Thus, it is thought that making graven images without bowing down and worshipping them is acceptable.One of my favorite movies growing up was the 1953 Disney movie Peter Pan. The most common means to get around the problem is to insert an “and” between the prohibition against making graven images and the prohibition against worshipping them. It would be rare to find a Christian church that doesn’t violate this commandment and most either ignore the problem or interpret it in a metaphorical manner that is contrary to the text. Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
