The Psalms of David in Metre, Psalm 106:19-25

19 Upon the hill of Horeb they
an idol-calf did frame,
A molten image they did make,
and worshipped the same.
20 And thus their glory, and their God,
most vainly changed they
Into the likeness of an ox
that eateth grass or hay.

21 They did forget the mighty God,
that had their saviour been,
By whom such great things brought to pass
they had in Egypt seen.
22 In Ham's land he did wondrous works,
things terrible did he,
When he his mighty hand and arm
stretch'd out at the Red sea.

23 Then said he, he would them destroy,
had not, his wrath to stay,
His chosen Moses stood in the breach,
that them he should not slay.
24 Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land,
believed not his word:
25 But in their tents they murmured,
not heark'ning to the Lord.
(The Psalms of David in Metre, Psalm 106:19-25)

SEVENTH GENERAL COUNCIL SECOND OF NICLEA HELD A.D. 787, IN WHICH THE WORSHIP OF IMAGES WAS ESTABLISHED: WITH COPIOUS NOTES

Phil Johnson on the Second Commandment

Phil Johnson, the executive Director of Grace to You, is against purported images Christ. Listen to Johnson's sermons on the Second Commandment -- "No Graven Images" and "A Jealous God" -- here. And a followup "Jealousy, Judgment, Justice" downloadable here.

I hope Johnson will remove the popish idolatry from the Spurgeon Archive's banner. I hope Johnson will correct John MacArthur on his endorsement of idols (link to MacArthur's comments and error on images/idols). And I hope Johnson will correct his Pyromaniacs friend Dan Phillips from using purported images of Christ.
