The point is "express" image not "image" that is to make known by the "living Word" of God. John 1:14 says that the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.... And now that Jesus has been take up, we have no physcical image or graven image of him to follow, only his Living Word that is an "express" image of the only true living God, Jesus Christ.

And please not more insults. It unchristian. Thanks for asking.

Who said we were to "follow" any image? Not I.

What do you think "express" means?

What does the "Living Word" mean?

Where did I insult you?

I don't know of anyone who "follows" an image. Do you?

The central truth of the Christian faith is that God took on human nature (and that implies a human body) to save his people. Do you deny that?

If you don't, then please consider that it means that God became visible. And if God became visible and took on visible human nature, it only makes sense that we ought to use all of the senses and faculties God gave us to affirm that truth. That includes making an image of that visible, enfleshed God, to remind us that that is exactly what happened for our salvation.
