Unit 3 Test Short Answer Question 1 (Fall 23)
"Let no one think that this Commandment entirely forbids the arts of painting, engraving, or sculpture. The Scriptures inform us that God Himself commanded to be made images of Cherubim [a category of angel], and also the brazen serpent. The interpretation, therefore, at which we must arrive, is that images are prohibited only inasmuch as they are used as deities to receive adoration and so to injure the true worship of God...
He [the pastor] will also inform the unlettered... of the use of images, that they are intended to instruct in the history of the Old and New Testaments, and to revive from time to time their memory; that thus, moved by the contemplation of heavenly things, we may be the more ardently inflamed to adore and love God Himself. He should, also point out that the images of the Saints are placed in churches, not only to be honored but also that they may admonish us by their examples to imitate their lives and virtues."
