"Decorating the tabernacle with a few angels is not the same thing as building statues..."

Can we get a replay of that hair splitting picture here?

You actually don't see the difference between a painting of a saint and falling down in prayer before that painting?

If not, no wonder the RCC so easily disregards the commandments of God.

I see your problem. Apparently you didn't finish reading my sentence you quoted. Here. Let me help you.

You quoted me as saying...

Decorating the tabernacle with a few angels is not the same thing as building statues...

But what I actually wrote was...

Decorating the tabernacle with a few angels is not the same thing as building statues and praying to those statues when the Triune God alone demands all our prayers.

The hair-splitting is being done by Rome when the RCC says it builds graven images and bows down to those graven images and prays to those graven images, but it isn't breaking God's commandment to refrain from exactly that.
