Jeremiah 10:1–16
Contrasts powerless handcrafted gods with the living God who made heaven and earth.
Perspective note
Comparative historical/source study. The original author's or church's reception is retained; inclusion does not make every claim Oriental Orthodox teaching.
Key points
- Sincere religious intention cannot turn a manufactured object into a god; the Creator must remain distinct from creation.
- The passage does not itself discuss Christian icons or settle the later distinction between representation and idolatry.
