That’s funny, I missed the parts in scripture—Old Testament AND New Testament, where the Prophets, the Apostles, or Jesus Himself recommended pondering images.

Arguments from silence are no arguments. Arguments based on the assumption of sola scriptura aren't arguments either, much less binding on Christian consciences, for the assumption is wrong itself.

It’s too bad they missed that. Great that later, wiser, more godly, mature Christians figured it out though, eh?

Exactly. How about that! Isn't our God great?

Sola what? What are you talking about?

Arguments based on silence do have no merit—that’s my point—you have no argument FOR veneration/worship of idols—in oposition to everything else the Prophets and Apostles taught us—other than empty man-made traditions.

You want to bind the conscience of Christians by something outside, apart from, and in opposition to....God’s Word? That’s a serious argument...from silence.

Or do you also not believe the Bible is God’s Word?

Well, I’m glad at least you admit that you think your human institution and its tradition—is wiser than God’s Word, God’s Apostles, and God Incarnate Himself.

I only hope you repent of your idolatry.
