"..and they did away with the need for circumcision and keeping kosher too."

But this supports my point. These were major controversies in the New Testament, dealt with and argued at length. Why no controversy about images in worship?

[cookcounty]

Let me suggest that one could take the approach that "images in worship" was at times more and at other times less important to Jews. After the christians began worshipping Jesus (or icons?), they recoiled and in reaction and became more "anti-image", than they in fact had been at christianity's first appearance.

...I'm not convinced of it, though.
