Can symbols lead us away from our faith in God and Christ?
The Ark of the Covenant became a hindrance to the faith of the people because they treated it like magic. It filled them with false confidence when they went into battle, and many of them were killed. Whenever we treat a religious symbol like a magic charm, we dishonor God rather than honor Him. Conclusion: God wants us for Himself, and any object that takes His place He condemns.
