[QUOTE="Logos Supreme, post: 1351604, member: 18376"] The way to Heaven and the way to not go to Hell is to accept our Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts. Not showing veneration to icons isn't a sin. That isn't stated in the Bible as a requirement to reach our Lord. I understand this: In the Orthodox Church icons are venerated with the understanding that veneration is not paid to the material icon but to the person or event represented “in spirit and truth” (John 4: 24). But then, there is also this: Rom. 1:25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. I am well aware that icons are not idols, but believing that veneration is required to reach Heaven is like saying all Christians and non-Orthodox are bound for Hell... [/QUOTE]
