The commands in Scripture concerning idols are to not bow down to them. It doesn’t say to not worship them. So your contention about worship is meaningless because it doesn’t address the Scripture references.
Misquoting Scripture is one of Satan’s favorite tactics.
The lie you are embracing is that icons are idols.
Do either of you believe you are doing good by these falsehoods?
You aren’t, you know. You are attacking other Christians, nothing more.
Don’t deceive yourselves.
