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.

I don't care what Catholics wish to call them. That which we call a rose by any other name.

It doesn't say *icons* or whatever.

It says *IMAGES*.

It's disingenuous to try to claim not sinning merely on the basis of relabeling something or changing definitions.

GOD says to not *BOW DOWN TO* CARVED IMAGES or GRAVEN IMAGES.

Lev 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Exodus 20:4-6 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

It says what it says. If you want to try to weasel out of it, it's your prerogative but don't expect us to believe any of your rationalizations.

The serpent in the garden asked if God really did say too

Lev 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Soooooooooooo

It's your perspective that God is lying in this passage?

Exodus 20:4-6 4 "You shall NOT make for yourself
a carved image,
or any likeness
of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
