>Matthew 24-25: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.Personally I believe any image of Christ falls under the category of a false Christ. Any image of Christ, can be used as idols or result in divisions within the body of Christ.The depiction of Christ as other races may help people feel inclusion, but it is like saying there is value in lying to children about the existence of Santa. Personally, I think the doubt sewed by lying to children about the existence of Santa can lead some into believing that Christ is also a lie.
Yes. Which is why Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, and Anglicans get to burn in hell.
>>18059583Yeah you are onto it... the resurrected body of Christ can not be properly depicted as a singular person because it isn't, therefore such a depiction is inherently heretical. However, a depiction of the pre-crucifixion only begotten son of the God of gods, that is fine. If you don't make him pearly white though then you are a heretical lunatic or a retard.
Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism use images as teaching tools, not as objects of worship themselves, and distinguish between veneration and idolatry.
