I don't know what Protestants make of the Bronze Serpent. What could be a clearer image of an Icon but the Bronze Serpent created by Moses?

Yes our God told how to build the temple where His presence was in the time, but never told anyone to bow down in front 2 or 3 times and show on themselves symbols of faith that comes from the heart for God see'd inside and not out. As an Orthodox Christain that i was raised, please tell me how its ok to bow in front of a man made object with no power?

I think I forgot to explain what I mean by that...
Why they asked God to show anything, was so that He would reveal to them who, if picked to be an Apostle, would make the best choices in his life as an Apostle, and also because maybe they did not wish to make the choice, since all 70 were all very good people (again, by their choices and ways of life)...
It is absurd and wrong to think of this "asking the Lord to show" as God picking and men sitting around and waiting for God to pick...
-
But you know what I meant by that, don't you ? That, well, if they asked God to move stars, they would move, etc...

rockoMe > "... therefore when THEY asked the Lord to "show" it is not the same as when we would ask the Lord to "show"... ".
Hee hee...
: )
Would it be safe to say that you're studying psychology, philosophy or debating at school?

Larryinct, interesting cross reference to Luke 10:1, since when the replacement was being chosen, Peter said it had to be someone who had, "... accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning with the baptism of John, until the day that He was taken up from us... " (Acts 1:21,22).
John 21:25, yes, quite a descriptive comment! The whole world couldn't contain the books!
As you say, those 3 years of Christ's ministry... what an amazing time.

Exuse me for not adding, i have nothing against images and pictures, for things that took place need to be remembered at times, but when my priest of the Macedonian Orthodox Church tells me to bow down for the situation that is drawn about on the pic, i feel it is idolising a fact far away from the true Living God YHWH. i mean no disrespect to you for you are doing your part as Gods will, this is one thing that has been on my mind since i've been saved.

Depends on what you have in your heart when you are doing it, eh?
