I have no argument with Scripture. AFAIK, I’m properly interpreting Scripture.

Of course I could be wrong, but I’m in line with Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, and the Westminster Confession. You are in line with Rome and Joel Osteen.

Christians are to worship in “spirit and truth.” We also walk by faith, not by sight. We should ask ourselves why we need images. Are we not content to walk by faith? Can we not worship Him in spirit and truth?

Christ was fully man and fully God. All a likeness can possibly do is misrepresent his human form. It can’t possibly capture his divinity. To paraphrase the old Puritan Thomas Watson, images are at best a “half Christ.” So any image of Christ must be considered a misrepresentation. Another way to put it, any image of Christ is a lie.
