These statues are used because the Apostles taught their use

Except that they really didn't, did they?

It matters what the statue represents, which is why the Ark of the Covenant was to be surmounted by golden cherubim, not golden Canaanite fertility demons.

Appeal to Scripture as authority and not tradition - noted.

Exactly. But you’re using the faculty of reason. An unfair tactic! This is the FR Religion Forum!

And no one prayed to the Ark of the Covenant either unlike Roman Catholics and their idols they claim to be Mary.

The Apostles didn’t teach the ‘veneration’ of the Mother of Jesus either, but tradition inserts the idols of Mary in most Catholic churches.

How can you tell the difference?
