Also, there are many images on google you do not know who is the ''owner'' of them. Would it be wrong to put Bible verses in these images and upload it on instagram, like this: https://the-soul-doctor.tumblr.com/post/178637190321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even google images may or may not be copyrighted. a decent article https://sarafhawkins.com/avoiding-copyright-pitfalls-on-pinterest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a professing Christian, it makes a difference. When you ask about wrong, do you mean morally, or are you asking about legality and or consequences. Also, you need to read the rules of the service you are using, where you will be posting these, and abide by their rules. I also wonder, out of curiosity, if you think using an image well somehow make God's words suddenly more meaningful. Also, there is an issue that I myself am not clear one . . . that regards the laws of where you live, the laws where the server that you post on is located, or maybe the laws where that provider is incorporated, and the laws of where these images are seen. As Patriot, said, much of this is all but unenforceable. For a Christian, it is also about obedience to God and alignment with his will. Now, let me have you think about something, and you can answer my question following, then apply the same sort of thinking to my question: Suppose I want to get people to read God's word, or some verses from it. No suppose, there was a really popular movie last year, that I know people will want to watch. Would it be OK for me, to make a copy of that movie, and overlay some Bible verses on it? Morally and legally, these situations are analogous. If you do not have the permission of the owner of the copyright, then you do not have permission, not that complicated, is it?

Depending on which version of the bible you use there are copyright issues with them too. When I get home later I will post an example of one Ive done using my own photo.

There are several hundred pages of some nice photographs in those. You would be welcome to use any that I have posted. All that I have posted are pictures that I did myself or are public domain to the best of my knowledge. There are some talented folks that post there and being members here I would think they would be ok with using them to share the gospel.... any of us are just a PM away from permission.
