Christian churches do not have any statues for the reason you stated, Catholic churches have many.

If you don't think catholics are christians, I'm filing you in the dingbat bin, and ignoring you. Protestant churches behaved just as disgustingly toward jews and catholics did, if not worse, while offering up the exact same excuses as the Catholics. Martin Luther was a famously vile jewhater. I don't really care why reform churches have statues of Jesus. God said "no other God's before me, for I am a jealous God", yet I see only Jesus statues in God's church.

You can ignore me or call me names all you want - it won't change my life one iota. I didn't say Catholics weren't Christians but Christians are not necessarily Catholics.

You posted there were statues in Christian churches and I said in catholic churches there are statues. You mentioned Protestant, I haven't been in a Protestant church so I didn't comment. Stop in a Christian church (nondenominational) and see for yourself, you won't find any statues. Stop in a Catholic church and you will see statues. That's all I wanted to get across.

I don't know what Martin Luther thought but the Jewish people are God's chosen. Jesus was a Jew and his apostles and his mother, Mary. How did they win the 6-day war when everything was against them and they were out numbered? God's intervention. Recently a soldier from that war was interviewed on TV. The story was quite amazing.

I don't care who hates me, talks about me or tries to cause me harm because I'm under His protection. He takes care of His own, those that know and love Him.

I'm not asking you to agree with me, just passing on info - see for yourself.

(At least he's learned to preface his 'characterizations' with 'IF'!)
