109 of the Westminster Larger Catechism, which states in part:
“The sins forbidden in the second commandment are … the making any representation of God, of all or of any of the three persons, either inwardly in our mind, or outwardly in any kind of image or likeness of any creature whatsoever.”
Today we heard a message on Revelation 1 ; 12-20
2 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17
This scripture, as well as others that speak of a vision of our Lord, caused me to wonder how to reconcile this with #109? I am sure this has been covered before, but was unable to find any threads after a brief search. Some education is needed for myself on how to view 109 and scriptures that present a visual of the Lord.
