You haven’t made an argument from Scripture yet. Instead you babble based on what seems right in your limited fallen mind.

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
—Colossians 2:8

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
—Proverbs 14:12

I don’t expect to change your mind, but for others I am including a link to a good article on the use of images.

"I don’t expect to change your mind..."

You haven't even tried. You've posted links to what others have written without addressing my basic question, which is, "Why do you approve of some visual representations of Christ (i.e. written words), but not others?" You're contention is that the written word is the only permissible visual symbology.

This too is a visual symbol that conveys the notion of Christ to others...

...Were the early Christians who used it guilty of heresy?

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
