(”I know idols of false gods are mentioned, but not MY holy images.”)
Please refer to scripture where this exception is defined.
Thanks.
Right after you show me the part of the Bible that says it's okay to drive your car to Church for choir practice.
In other words, WHAT?
The OT prohibits idolatry. The images we Catholics use are not idols. Case closed.
Further, your side fails to show why we Catholics should follow the restrictive and artificial canon of Sola Scriptura. And yet your side insists that we should justify ourselves to you according to your standards. Of course the correct response to this is, "Take a hike!" What, are you next going to come into my house and criticize the way I shave?
I think the Protestant notion of Sola Scriptura is bogus, self-contradictory, bogus, useless, and bogus. If you want to worship a book and your own interpretation of it, go ahead. I will worship Him who provided the Book along with the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, as the Bible says.
You will never get any, because it doesn't exist. But you will get "words to explain" or deflect.
