Excellent post Raphael_UO,
It is interesting that at the end of Revelation we are in structed not to add or subtract anything from the book. I wonder if John or God was referring to the Bible as we know it now? After all, when we look at the letters to the churches from Paul, I wonder if Paul had any notion that when he was writing them that they would eventually be bound into the book called the Bible.

Deu 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
There it is in the OT also.
It still applies today.

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
So we have it in the OT and NT.
God was serious about the commandments, and just because we are under grace, it does not mean we can trash the commandments.
God knew of the strong draw that statues and images would have on people. He knew how much people loved to bow down to things that looked awesome.
In the same breath that God gave that warning about keeping the commandments...He added an extra thing about the images
Deu 4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
Deu 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Statues, statues of people, images of all kinds...the RCC is loaded.

Yes, I keep the sabbath
“I am all merciful and hold sway with my Son” as well as “ Have courage, patience and resignation; you will suffer and will not be free of troubles; try to be faithful and make known my glory”.

What are you doing? You are creating hate, seperation of the Body of Christ, Here is a little personel thing. I was a member of a pentacostal movement years ago( they all deny Mary's devinity that makes them real "christians" in you mind, right Jake?) Well I was shunned by the whole congregation, because I had the nerve to devorce a man who was very close to killing me, I was shunned by some 400 people.
