>> And when you were forced to apply your view of scripture, that was the result: Da Vinci’s and Michelangelo painted idols and those who recognized them as portrayals of God were idolaters.<<

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Are they or are they not intended to be portrayals of God?

[D-fendr]

Yes they are.

We’ve been here before, CB. This is the same road you took before that I just described: “CB here even said Da Vinci and Michelangelo were idol makers and visitors to the Sistine Chapel are idolaters.”

That you just tried to back away from and now you’re cozying back up to. Back and forth you go, because, apparently, you still don’t know what an idol really is.

Yet you feel oh so free to pronounce idolatry in others. It’s funny to see.
