Exodus 20:4 You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters below the earth....
The reason why many catholic abandoned the Catholic Church is that they define the word idol by themselves and did not refer to a dictionary. The word IDOL is different from the word IMAGE
IMAGE is a visual representation.
IDOL is an object worshIped as god.
IMAGE are expressions of LOVE.
IDOLS are expression of STUPIDITY.
Destroying an IMAGE is an expression of HATRED.
Destroying an idol is an expression of LOVE on GOD.
Hatred is evil.
The golden calf that Moses destroy was an idol (object worshiped as God ) not a religiuos image
Roman Catholics only worship the living God not the image itself (read apostles creed)
The Apostles Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen
