one of the main arguments that iconoclasm presents against images is "idolatry" that assumes malicious intent upon the artist. that he would worship the image itself rather than the lord god. this cannot be guaranteed and is, either way, extremely unlikely, considering how much these artists tend to love the lord jesus christ.   don't worry. people don't. whenever an image is used, it is to, in a sense, restore the face that the lord jesus christ had shown to the masses that he once had taught. images are not what causes people to sin and fall away. it is the original sin itself. we are all fallen people, and when we give in to our temptations, we sin. as a matter of fact, most of the time, whenever i happen to see an image of the lord jesus christ, i am reminded that he is watching my every move, and i am discouraged in that moment to sin.   god bless you too, and every single anon in this thread.
