The Second Commandment

Never a man to do things by half, TurretinFan has been turning out some articles on the Second Commandment. Please note that the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutherans follow a differing numbering system for the commandments.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6)
