Episcopal and Anglican, are protestant?

all kind of images

The commandment regarding graven images has to be taken in context of the full commandment, not just the bit at the beginning, and the context is clearly about creating idols to worship as gods. A quick skim through all the references to idols in the Old Testament confirms this.

You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.​

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

Yes, it's true. And, for those who think there is something singularly Roman Catholic about this succession business, Rome also recognizes the validity of the Apostolic Succession of the churches of the Union of Utrecht which, as you noted, are in full communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Would this over power official Vatican statements like the Apostolicae Curae though?

Would this over power official Vatican statements like the Apostolicae Curae though?

I would guess that the answer is "no," but it could easily be considered to be a contradiction to it.

It surely shows that the issue is not nearly as uncomplicated as some people have been trying to paint it.

Well, no one can depict God the Father but we can with the Son of God because he became flesh

Until God became man, He had no form which could be depicted, hence the Old Testament prohibition.
Since becoming man, God has been seen and has a form which can be depicted. Creating icons of Christ is actually a defense of the incarnation, since there were those who denied God had come in the flesh.

The Moslems are completely against all images. Your view has more in common with them than Christianity.

you need to read the gospel of john chapter 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

religions have their ups and downs, but at the end christianity triumphs

when in the scriptures it says you shall make statues and image for worshipping?

 

[Not David]

wrong

What does that have to do with the topic?

 

[charsan]

I don't know about that. I do know the Bible says no where that God hates images and that is a gross error to say that, muslims say that not Christians.

 

[charsan]

when in the scriptures it says you shall make statues and image for worshipping?

Where in Scripture does it say that God hates images? Where in Scripture does it say that everything must be in Scripture? Where in Scripture does it say that one go by Scripture alone? Where in Scripture does t say that a single person can interpret it by themselves? No one said anything about worshiping images except you.

 

[lambofgod43985889]

I don't know about that. I do know the Bible says no where that God hates images and that is a gross error to say that, muslims say that not Christians.

exodus 20:4
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

Does not say God hates images and you did not quote the whole context. Let's quote the whole thing:

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me

You see you neglected to add verse 5 which no one is bow down and worshiping images like icons.

I answered that now what about the rest of my questions
