I would add that Moses and Elijah being at the Transfiguration is highly significant. These two figures had similar visions of God in the Old Testament, in which they were hidden in the cleft of a rock. Moses was not allowed to see God's face directly, lest he would die; and Elijah covered his own face when he went out from the cleft to speak with God. But at the Transfiguration, these same two figures see God's glorified face in Christ, with no indication of any covering taking place.
I’m a high church Protestant and there’s nothing wrong with icons. It venerating, kissing, praying, lighting incense before them, etc. is pretty much damnable. It’s idolatry. Like there’s nothing positive in the Bible about any of these actions towards propels or symbols or statues, etc.
John 4 God is a Spirit and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Images are for people to see with their eyes which is sin of Idolatry. Which is why the Catholic church changed the ten commandments and removed the on graven images. Ye must be born again.

Yessssss, need this video! Highly important that more prots are against iconoclasm.
I’m not an iconoclast because I believe that icons and symbols provide a sense of identity and history to us as believers of a 2000 year old faith.
My brother in Christ, purchase or build a bookshelf.
Protestants need to hear this. Couldn’t agree more.
Can’t wait to see your take on this. Curious if you make a distinction between icons present in worship vs. being objects of veneration.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised
Great discussion!
Great presentation . As a Catholic, I definitely hope iconoclast Protestants watch this video someday.
Of course you do

Good video also Anglicans should use different symbols like red crosses and Celtic crosses
Do you have any videos on Anglican ideology?
Still not used to the logo
The articles and book of Homilies are reformed in content, to dissent from these documents is to cease truly anglican.
Not just the 2nd Commandment, but even the Ecumenical Council of Hieria forbids icons.
The first Young Anglican L 😔
Don't worry. There will be many more 😎
Iconoclasts breed atheism.
This is an absolute W.
