Like a bunch of destructive little kids. Destroying what they do not understand. Nice post. It's a pity that they don't understand that this is Christianity from the very beginning Yup, the earliest (1st and 2nd century) Christian caves, where Paul taught (Acts 2:9) in Cappadocia are full of icons painted on the walls.
One can clearly see "idolatrous" icons painted on the walls, and areas where "pagan" altars stood.
This is what happens when some people decide to re-write the whole history of Christianity, starting with a 16th century excommunicated priest and an agenda.

Yup, the earliest (1st and 2nd century) Christian caves, where Paul taught (Acts 2:9) in Cappadocia are full of icons painted on the walls. You think those "images" on the cave walls are of "icons" painted by Christians?
If they were painted in the first century, (which is highly suspect) then they were depicting people who were alive and were probably used as teaching methods, as you even said.
If anyone in those caves was on his knees, it was to Christ alone.
