IFB or IFBx?

Where'd you get that picture? It looks kind of phony.

Google image search. I was looking for 100% Hyles buttons, but couldn't find any. Don't remember the exact query. I do believe it's real. Certainly in line with other things they've done.

[kevinmiller]

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
(Exodus 20:4)

As weird as that picture is, I would love to see where people draw the line on the old graven image. I mean, what my brother had a really cool wood burning kit. I know plenty of people with various statues of eagles (the patriotic ones, not the Philadelphia ones) or wooden dolls.

[kevinmiller]

Statues of eagles and such are a bit different, though, then statues of a man that people practically worship. I think our pastor would be ashamed if anyone tried to build a statue of him. :loco

I dunno, I don't mind the statues of Jefferson and Lincoln and Washington in the capitol...

But...um...that's George Washington....ya know?

Exactly. I find this weird and bizarre, and yes, even creepy (thats for you BroMatt) but I don't think you can apply the graven image passage to it unless you are going to say the Lincoln statue is wrong as well.

[Bakershalfdozen]

The graven image issue is about worshipping false gods, not about having a picture of something. Even the Tabernacle and Temple had depictions of creatures.

[kevinmiller]

I thought it was Hyles-worship. :huh:

[Anon]

I don't even think Bob Jones Sr has a statue, does he? And his life reached many more people in a much broader way than Hyles, don't you think?

Okay, I've spent several minutes reading all six pages of this thread and I STILL don't know what an IFBx is :puzzled: :puzzled: :puzzled:

Could someone please explain this in plain English?

[Trish]

The mentality that if you don't do things the way they are done in my housechurch then you are a sinner. Basically that standards are convictions with no lenience and no compassion. And I think they are easy believist also. If I'm wrong as to the intent that the original poster meant, than someone please enlighten me as to the meaning of IFBX.

[John81]

Thank you very much Trish! That's very easy to understand.

If that be the definition of IFBx, then I am absolutely NOT one of those!

[Evan57]

IFBX is new to me. That is very interesting. It sound like more of strict in any issues that are not in the Bible. Jesus came to reach the lost souls regardless what they were same as today. So, no need to be tooo extremely. Be open to reach them to Christ as their personal Savior and disciple them in order to grow in the Lord Almighty God. IFB is broad and variety as long it is stand for KJV and IFB also right doctrines from the Holy Bible. I am stand for IFB all the way because God led me there. Glory to God.
