First of all i would like you to understand that, the matter is not that im right and you are wrong because GOD is right. The matter is that we have to follow his Holy Words, we can not bend it to fit our lives or to make it easier for us to live by his Words, but we HAVE to follow his Holy Words just as they are.
Icons, is that right? Should a person have icons or images at all? Lets see what GOD himself says.
First of all, lets take a look at IDOLS. This is what the LORD says.
Exodus 20:4
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
So what about images?
Isaiah 42:8
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Now if you noticed, many religions have PICTURES of a man whom they believe is Jesus. The picture is of a MAN. Lets take a look what Lord GOD says about this.
Deuteronomy 4:15-17
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
