It's hard to tell where that guy is really coming from. I listen to it several times and Archorite picked up on more than I did.
But there are indeed many idol [worship] issues among so-called Christian--which, even if we don't really know about that guy, is perhaps a good topic.
There are even such issues that go on here on CB that show a disproportionate attachment to the Law, the scriptures, the Sabbath, the Temple, a denomination, a pet peeve, many traditions even, that board on idolism, maybe worse. I mean, many focus on the object rather than its spiritual counterpart. Jesus, addressed this sort of thing with the idea of "
which is greater", with examples like:
“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it." (Matthew 23:16-22).
In which he clarifies saying, "
therefore" that even those things that are representative of that which is ultimately greater, are still at least representative. Of which there are many examples, like the bread and the cup of communion--or yes, the Bible. Still, in all things one can surely cross a line where that "
which is greater" is not given the greater place in one's beliefs, or even treat the lesser as if it is all there is--when indeed, there is something "
greater" that is not to be made pale by comparison in our religious practices. And in spite of the many images made manifest by God to merely represent that which is "
greater."--that "
greater", is most important to God.
