The problem for you, is that the Church already settled this matter, in the 7th Century. Icons are permissible.

It's not a problem for believers because HIS Church based on HIS WORD settled the issue from the beginning of time - no worship of idols, no graven images. HIS WORD always was and always will be.

The RCC can do what they want and they have - HEAR and OBEY His Word means nothing to them - they have a man made belief system.

“It’s not a problem for believers because HIS Church based on HIS WORD settled the issue from the beginning of time - no worship of idols, no graven images. HIS WORD always was and always will be.”

Which is why the Church ruled, based on the same evidence that the veneration of images is permissible?

Where’s your evidence from scripture that says that it is not?
