Dr. Jones,

An unusual mindset, as usual.

Does your local money contain any imagery of royalty (Mary, Queen of Scots,
perhaps?)?
Assume you forbear using any paper or specie containing such idolatry?
Man cannot serve two masters - it must be God or Mammon.

Seriously, does the key word "graven" has no special significance?
Three dictionary definitions are given for "graven":

An idol or fetish carved in wood or stone.

a material effigy that is worshipped as a god;  "money was his god" [syn:
idol, god]

Deut. 27:15; Ps. 97:7 (Heb. pesel), refers to the household gods of
idolaters.
"Every nation and city had its own gods...Yet every family had its separate
household or tutelary god."


BTW: Is this why you chose a forum where you can't post pics?     (8^)>

Pax Christi,

Robert
