My mind sped from the first commandment to Paul's advice about eating food offered to idols. |
Now he doesn't tell people that these images are gods, per se, but he clearly violates the commandment against graven images. |
The second commandment also relates to the problem of idolatry and warns us against worship of the true God in a false way. |
Where the commandment does fall down is its lack of relevance to tenement life. |
We have not retained the commandment against making graven images because it is no longer relevant. |
They are so structured that acceptance of the relationship created by the first commandment entails obedience to all the rest. |
