No, its idolatry to an iconoclastic with puritan stripes, particularly the American Fundamentalist Protestant stripe. If was not to Saint Polycarp, Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, no orthodox Church Father nor was it to the 2nd Council of Nicea in 787, which predated Calvin and Zwingli by almost 800 years.
Of course I don’t think pagan idols were God. That is the context of making a graven image and bowing down to it as if it were God. The Invisible reality that I am referring to is God, the realities, if would thus be CHrist, the Holy Spirit, etc. So an Icon with a Dove is a visible symbol of an invisible reality, that reality being the Holy Spirit. One worships the Holy Spirit, one venerates the Icon that symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
Make your excuses to God not to me. And if you hold those "church fathers" over what Christ and the apostles taught that's your business, but don't call it Christianity.
