The Jews didn’t even observe the graven images commandment with the same rigor that the Protestant iconoclasts do.

Just look to the Ark of the Covenant bearing the cherubim on top and the depictions in Solomon’s Temple.

The Calvinists have more in common with Islam when it comes to sacred images than they do with OT Judaism.

The method is surely similar to Mohammed: make up your own theology then write it down using little bits of scripture when they fit.

The big lie, that with all their theological fantasizing they rely on the Scripture alone, is, however, uniquely Protestant. Neither the Jews, the Muslim, or importantly, the early Church made that claim.
