Icons Aren't Idolatry - Here's the Biblical Proof (Orthodox vs Protestant)

Описание: Are Orthodox icons biblical or idolatrous? For centuries, Protestants have objected to Eastern Orthodox use of religious images, citing Exodus 20:4. But what does Scripture ACTUALLY say about icons?

In this video, we examine:
✅ The historical Iconoclasm Controversy (730-787 AD)
✅ The full context of the Second Commandment
✅ Greek word analysis: Proskuneo (worship vs. veneration)
✅ How the Incarnation changes everything (Colossians 1:15)
✅ The Second Council of Nicaea (787 AD) and 350 bishops
✅ Archaeological evidence from the early church
✅ Common Protestant objections answered

This isn't about opinions it's about what the Bible, church history, and early Christians actually practiced.
