Faith is the hope in the unseen
The essence of Faith is not in what is seen , rather it is what is unseen. If one does not ahve the faith to to beleive, then what good are the idols of failed religions? If one requires a idol, a image of the unseen to have faith then how can one ever believe?
To try and believe by what is seen and not understood is attempting to place a image over faith, and that is entirely anathema to faith. Faith is the essence that makes Christians well..Christians. did Paul ever say "let us build a icon to a person of faith so that our faith may be greater?" Of course not, Paul and the Disciples never said any thing of the sort, they decried Idols and warned against the dangers of worshipping at them.
"Little children keep yourselves away from idols" 1John 5.21
Guard your faith and believe in Him in whom we have our existence do not be distracted nor waylaid by mankind"s spectacles, they merely serve as milk to the spiritually poor.
