Is an image of Jesus while he was on earth, i have no idea what he looks like in heaven, nor is the images of him in heaven. Nor are they graven, it specifically says graven for God doesn't want us to make any statues and worship the statues. This would be idolatry, which God forbids.

I give you no choice? ....have I taken away your "Free Will" ....as I said...anything that is not the truth is a lie ....if parables are metaphoric...then it is not truth ...which means that Jesus was using parables to not tell the truth

also you still didn't answer my question ....how many people in your life spoke in parables everytime they talked to you

perhaps because Jesus was nailed to a cross that is how he now looks in Heaven...who knows...all that matters is if Jesus is in Heaven you are not supposed to be using any images here on earth that represents him .......so again I ask...is Jesus in Heaven?

So you're saying even though so and so is president of a country and this other person is the judge, they are dismissing the president?

No my friend, God has just given Jesus that task to judge us, doesn't make God any less of a God, just makes him not the judge.......... that's all.

the president of the country would announce that he handed over power to someone else...if not...then the someone else give themselves that power....it's called a coup

this is why I said if you can not find a passage in the bible where "God himself" gave such power to Jesus ....then God did not give it, Jesus took it

MOST EVERYONE DOES IN ONE WAY OR OTHER.

ALL PARABLES.

You take no free will away, just limit the possibilities. Cause i can always just stop talking, that would be free will right there and NO one can take that away from anyone.

Yes he is in heaven, and we're back to my original post in this particular conversation.

thoses are not parables...parables tell a story that has a moral or religious lesson ......so you know anyone in your life that talk in parables everytime they talk to you?

so if Jesus is in Heaven..then you shouldn't have an images that represent him here on Earth ...and that my friend is why a Cross is a graven image

oh but God does say it, in an in-between the lines kinda way. Before Jesus walked this earth, people were punished for their sins while they were still here, eg., eye for an eye. Then when Jesus came we wait to be judged, and and many references of Jesus being judge in the bible. Maybe not by him HIMSELF, but when you add all the evidence it's perfectly clear.

Not always. Again here's another definition from another dictionary.

----------------------------------------------
a statement or comment that conveys a meaning indirectly by the use of comparison, analogy, or the like.
---------------------------------------------

If you'll notice nothing about any stories, or even anything religious.

then going by the new definition...Jesus was not speaking the truth ...but even so... when he said that this is my flesh and blood you are eating and drinking...it is still the practice of cannibalism and Vampirism

you stated that "God said it in-between the lines kinda way" ..

now you're accusing God of speaking in parables ....look just admit that nowhere in the bible does "God himself" tells that he handed over his power to Jesus..

IT'S NOT A GRAVEN IMAGE!!!

Graven image is a statue, something out of stone. And other then that, it is a symbol of him on earth, not in heaven.

No it is a practice of comparison, analogy, or likeness.

No i'm saying you have to take the bible as a whole, not just one verse here and one ver there. You have to take the entire bible in mind, and also keep in mind the time it was written and the culture.

Jesus didn't tell them that the bread was practicing comparison ....he said that the bread was his flesh which is the same as practicing or mimicking cannibalism

Catholicism is the only true form of Christianity, the rest of the sects believe that all they have to do is accept Jesus as their lord and savior and to hell with everything else, including to disregard the bible and the teachings of Jesus and choosing to commit sin and heathenous at every given opportunity ..

the Catholic church should make it clear that to be a true christian means to be a catholic

see what we have here is the failure to excommunicate

And Jesus also said
"Matthew 13:10 - 13:13

10 Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" 11 And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
