Did not say that. Said the statues are a problem.

Also, must correct . . .
Actually is the SECOND commandment missing in RC and Lutheran catechisms:

From God’s Word, the Holy Bible:

Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:. .”

“No graven images,means statues, sculptures.
They are in Lutheran Churches, too.

Is a problem.

Ok it’s a “problem” for you

I think you misinterpret that passage but

you are free to worship as you please

as long as it doesn’t include destroying or

encouraging others to destroy my

private property or the property of my church.

So, no art.

The images are not being worshipped. They just represent something. Some that might be worshipped, and some venerated. Some tell the stories.

See, I really don’t agree with that interpretation that it’s all bad.

And that really is what it’s about…interpretation. Esp. If you consider any language barriers.

“Kill” doesn’t mean all killing…it means murder. Same deal, possibly.

If you believe anything sculpted is corrupt, then you should be happy with BLM tearing down everything. We should have no art.
