If one wishes to beat up on statues, a Baptist church would see a poor choice of venue ...
Statues, yes. Graven images, maybe not. I've seen some lovely stained glass windows in Baptist churches. Are they not graven images? Of course they are symbols, as are our statues.
My comment is not intended to bash Baptists. I'm pointing out that graven images can be found in many churches of many denominations. And I don't have a problem with it. Scripture shows us that images intended to rightly order our minds and hearts to God are not forbidden.
For those inclined to disagree, I point to Ex 25:18 where God commands that "two cherubim of gold" be fashioned. A few verses later he says he will meet Moses between those two images and speak further with him. In Ex 21:33-34 God commands that images and adornments be placed on priestly vestments. In Num 21:8 God commands Moses to make an image of a serpent. That serpent is later broken, but only after it was used as an idol (2 Kg 18:4). In the 6th chapter of 1st Kings we find Solomon's temple filled with carvings and graven images yet a few chapters later (9:3) we read that God has consecrated this temple and promises "my heart will be there for all time." Would he consecrate a temple of idols?
