Being fully convinced that images of God/Christ are a violation of the second commandment and that to make or possess these types of images is idolatry, how should we treat members of the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic churches or anyone who partakes in the idolatry of images?
I have friends that are Eastern Orthodox and my parents and brother both have images of Christ all over their homes. Over the past year I have really struggled with having fellowship with my family and friends over this issue in particular.
Is the verse quoted above applicable to the situation?
1 Corinthians 5:11
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.
