Could you re-phrase the question, narrow down what you mean by "pictures"
Well, the devil is tempting and is tempting them to turn away from Jesus and praise a false idol.
well from a christians point of view it's the worship of false Gods . the true God being Jesus Christ .
They worship a false prophet and deny Jesus Christ as the son of God. Thereby condemning themselves to eternal damnation.
Jewish and Christian people still worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Many people who were pagan religions in the past worshipped false idols and icons.
The Bible condemns idol worship as it goes against the commandment to worship only one God. In the case of Jesus and Mary, they are not considered separate deities but rather figures of great importance within Christian belief. They are seen as part of the Holy Trinity in Christianity, with God as the ultimate figure of worship.
False: Jesus did not do this.
John the Baptist, is accorded a special status, higher than his role in Christianity. Mandaeans do not consider John to be the founder of their religion but revere him as one of their greatest teachers, tracing their beliefs back to Adam. Mandaeans believe that Jesus was a false messiah and that he perverted the teachings given to him by John. They view John the Baptist as a savior, but not as God, so they do not worship him in the way that Christians worship Jesus.
The word for false worship is idolatry. It involves giving excessive devotion or reverence to something or someone other than God.
"Idolatry" is the word used to describe the worshipping of false gods, or idols. It not only refers to false pagan worship, but also to the process of honoring a creature or creation of God in place of God himself.
Idolatry is the worship of 'idols' or false gods.
Answer'Idols' is a derogatory term used by one religion about the holy images of another religion. To a Christian, an image of Jesus is not an idol, but images of the gods of other religions are 'idols'. So, the concept of false idols relies on knowing which religion is right for you, and only worshipping the God or gods of that religion. And the safest way to avoid worshipping false idols is to not worship any god at all - after all many say that there really is no God.
Jesus put it like this in John 5:23: “Whoever does not honor the Son” — Jesus — “does not honor the Father who sent him.” “Any religion that does not embrace, worship, and obey Jesus as he is revealed in the Bible is a false religion.” Jesus Christ said I am the way and the truth and the life any other way is wrong and is not the true Gospel of Christ
