One of the biggest arguments that I'm having trouble responding to in support of using images in the Church (one that Lutherans make all the time) is that the Temple included many statues, images, etc. How can I reply to this from the Reformed perspective?
I tried responding by saying that those images which God commands are obviously permissible, but some of them pointed out that many graven images were not commanded but we don't see God fighting against them. For instance, Solomon appears to have made many graven images in the Temple that God never denounces.
Thoughts on these points?
