...Milo in my garden? im not being sarcastic...i am 100 percent worried about this.

I am an american evangelical of Greek background. i am proud of my greek heritage and i have a replica of the famous greek statue "venus de milo" in my yard. the statue portrays the greek goddess aphrodite which was worshipped by the ancient greeks.

i do not worship aphrodite, i worship the Father, Son and Holy ghost. But i read this in the Bible:

Deut 7:26-NEITHER SHALT THOU BRING AN ABOMINATION INTO THINE HOUSE, LEST THOU BE A CURSED THING LIKE IT: BUT THOU SHALT UTTERLY DETEST IT, AND THOU SHALT UTTERLY ABHOR IT; FOR IT IS A CURSED THING.

Deut 27:15-CURSED BE THE MAN THAT MAKETH ANY GRAVEN OR MOLTEN IMAGE, AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD, THE WORK OF THE HANDS OF THE CRAFTSMAN, AND PUTTETH IT IN A SECRET PLACE: AND ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL ANSWER AND SAY, AMEN.

so does this mean that i am cursed for having a replica of a pagan idol in my yard and does this also mean that the people at the garden decor company who made the replica are destined for Hell?

i am hoping this is not true. i do not worship the greek statues...i just think they are of artistic value and good craftsmanship and i am proud of my ethnic heritage.
