Which is my point, exactly. You merely take issue with the way others choose to depict His Word. Is an Bible in the English language more correct than one in Japanese, or one in Navajo? If a Bible verse that is quoted in any language other than that in which it was originally spoken or written, the logical extension of the links you posted is that it is a perversion of the Truth. That His Word be depicted in Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, or any other language does not, in my opinion, lessen its veracity or import; but God provided us more than one means to communicate, and I contend that the visual vocabulary that allows us to learn from scripture through the written word (when our eyes turn pictorial symbols, i.e. letters on a page, into thoughts and ideas)is simply another form of communicating His Word via visual input.
Is the worship of images (or letters for that matter) wrong? I agree with that contention wholeheartedly, as do all other adherents of my faith. Do I have a mandate to go forth and preach the Gospel? Yes...and if I was blessed with the gift of languages, it would be my mandate to spread that through preaching in the languages God had given me the facility to do so. If my gift was song, it would be incumbent on me to use that to glorify God. If one is a gifted artist...how should that gift be used? Should the artist, who has received his skills from God put them under a bushel basket? I think the Scripture is pretty clear that he should not. Should he employ them to undermine or ridicule faith? I think Scripture is pretty clear that he should not. So illuminate me...if God has given a person the talent to be a great painter, sculptor, etc. and that person burns with the desire to use his talents to give glory to God, and spread the Word, what should he do with that talent?
You still haven’t even attempted to make a biblical case, so I reiterate It doesn’t matter what men think. It only matters what God’s Word says on the topic.
I’ve studied this a lot and I’m convinced all pictures of Christ are forbidden. I’ve posted links to articles discussing the question. That’s my view. By definition all pictures of Him are deceitful because we have no idea what He looked like. There is no way I will ever believe God approves of using a lie to spread the truth and I’m not changing my mind, so there is nothing more for me to say. I’m fine acknowledging we disagree and that’s that.
