hi im catholic. my born-again christian friend ask me, why catholics have this symbols/images of Jesus Christ and saints? she said its wrong according to Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. I dont know the answer. please provide one bec im confused also.
A very important question... The answer is complex! After all, God commands Moses to make statues in Exodus 25 for the Ark of the Covenant, of all things! Here's a very complete answer to your question.
God bless you!
