Isaiah 57:8 You have put pagan symbols on your doorposts and behind your doors. You have left me and climbed into bed with these detestable gods. You have committed yourselves to them. You love to look at their naked bodies.
I like decorative artifacts, but have learnt as a Christian that not all of these glorify God. Some art pieces, symbols and statutes are indeed the gods of certain people. These pieces, no matter how beautiful they look, are an abomination in the eyes of God. Some have the names of these gods embedded on them, and others give us no clue whatsoever what they stand for.
God is a jealous God, and wants us to be circumspect in what we allow into our lives or homes. Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
