What's Wrong With This Picture?


Just as a little side note, this is not a bash on the Catholic Church. Just about every detail in this picture is completely symbolic, including the script, so I'm not singling out any particular denomination or church group. Instead, this is aimed at all churches asking people to think about all the legalities that we glorify in our denominations even above scripture. Of course that is not the whole gist of the picture. Anyways, take for example the "eleventh commandment" could also have been something like "Thou Shalt Not Heal on the Sabbath," something that related more to Jesus' time than now. I think that it is so funny that many Christians, and even myself have talked about how the Pharisees invented laws to keep them from breaking "the Law" and how it wasn't the way God intended us to live, bound by such things. Yet, often times we have been guilty of obeying or believing in such kinds of denominational laws that would have had the same place as the Pharisees' laws Jesus' day.
