"I would think that these scriptures fit right into Catholic doctrinally.."

You are deflecting and not answering the initial contention. If you criticize the Catholic Church for not adhering literally to some parts of Exodus and Deuteronomy you have to explain why Calvinists do not adhere to all of the requirements of Old Testament law.

As for your citation of I Cor. 10:19-20 it can be misleading taken out the context in which it was written. It is a warning against things that would lead us away from Christ, not against those images or icons that lead us to Him.

The bible quite clearly states that the Holy Spirit is the only one that leads to Christ.

In this way of “thinking,” Michelangelo was the greatest idolator of all time.

Not at all, Protestantism is a New Testament church... we believe in salvation by Faith alone by grace alone , to the glory of God alone

But God is immutable, He still hates idolatry that is why one does not see idols in Protestant churches.
