Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Deut. 4 ... 7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; 10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
To create something that is supposed to represent God while being visible to the eye of man goes against God. This passage of scripture shows us that God "makes us hear HIS voice" ... no man has seen God ... God is a Spirit (Jn. 4) ... you cannot see a Spirit ... to represent God visually would be a sin as we see from this scripture in Deut. 4.
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. 12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. 13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Jesus said ...
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Jn. 4
God is a Spirit. Jesus is a Spirit. To try to represent either God or Jesus in a physical way which the natural eye of man can see would be a sin.
God represented HIMSELF by HIS voice, not by images seen by the human eye.
God spoke ... The Word created all.
Certainly we who are of God must avoid "similitudes" which supposedly represent God. All such "images" are evil works done by man. We must recognize them for what they are.
At the appointed time, Jesus (The Word) who was first a Spirit, was made flesh and appeared as a human appears. This was so Jesus could suffer all things flesh suffers yet without sin and be sacrificed to pay for our sins.
There were no images of Jesus when HE was in the flesh.
Later someone got another human to poise as Jesus and made a picture of this actor and sold it as a picture of Jesus.
But there are no real images of Jesus today. Nor have there ever been images of HIS flesh.
This is because God is a Spirit ... and to be worshiped in Spirit and not in flesh of man.
Today Jesus is a Spirit, in spirit at the right hand of God who is Spirit. We are born again by HIS Spirit. We are connected to HIM and to those who belong to God by Spirit.
We must keep all things of God in Spirit ... never in flesh.
