[color:"blue"]Simply, God GAVE us the Bible to communicate to us. He did not give us His picture.

I agree with you here, Joe. As I said before, the use of images is, I believe, unlawful because we cannot do so without communicating things that are untrue about Christ (since we have no images), but I still believe that this is different than the original argument that prohibited images based upon their inability to communicate everything that is true about Christ. There is a subtle difference here, but I think it is worth noting, which is why I addressed it.

[color:"blue"] Thank you for clearing up and cleaning up the rest of your statement(s). With over 1/2 million viewers per month it is important to explain such-statements.

That's fine, I don't mind doing so, but I think my remarks were sufficiently delineated in their original context by the leading clause, "It does not capture the complete person of Christ". Sorry for any unnecessary confusion.

Sincerely in Christ,

What would you say about Christmas cards portraying Christ? How about nativity scenes? . . . etc.

Marie,

I have tried to make my position clear on this matter. But just in case I failed to do so, here it is again: NO pictures of ANY kind should be allowed that attempt to portray ANY of the three persons of the Godhead, NOR should those that are alleged representations of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even more grievous is the attempt by any man (human) to portray Christ Jesus our Lord in ANY way, shape or form.

In His Grace,
