It's been a long time since I used my Jeremiah 10 sword. I'll have to dust it off and sharpen it up for some "serious winter sport." Do I get points for slaying my own family members before I move on to other posters?
Well folks ... are we serious about idolatry or not? Who is on the Lord's side? Who will serve the king? Who will slay his brother? Others, death to bring?
Did I get this song right? Matt, get your sword ready!

What is your point, Ohio? I don't get it. Are you whining? Can you put some more substance on this so that it is intelligible? It seems you are obviously reacting to the substance of this thread.
Nobody is asking you to do anything. If you think there is screaming going on here, then there must be some crying and pouting to. Sorry, but I'm getting tired of the mean little comments by you. I'm addressing something difficult, substantive and very important to God. No one is asking you to do anything. Maybe you have a tendency to take what other people say and act out on it (like almost tearing down an idol at another building), but surely no one is asking you to do anything. This is in your own mind.
If you have the strong need to continue to speak out like you are, then go ahead but please understand that as long as you are not presenting a reasoned argument it is probably just encouraging me to continue. Why? Because, I know that I am striking a chord on this. It may be tough to hear, which it has been for me when I look at it in relation to my own life, but I guarantee you it has been helpful to me. It's helped me understand that I need to pay real close attention to the Lord and His instruction for the sake of my family.

P.S. I do think I said something about the need to repent for idolatry, but only in the case that it applies to you. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.
