How fucked would we be if Arianism and/or Iconoclasm became heterodoxy? Those were biggest heresies of western and eastern churches respectively.
What's with protestant reformation and reviving those ancient heresies, but not taking in the banner of Gnostics? I only know of Baptists claiming to be "spiritual successors" of Cathars, but not rly any of them taking in their gospels or theology. They still use Catholic bible cannon from which they threw out like 7 books of OT, even Orthodox and Monophysite or Nestorian churches have more different bibles than this.
Iconoclams was very huge plague of the Byzantine Empire, finally ended by St. Irene
Arianism, most of the Germanic tribes supported. I think 90% of churches belonged to them
Not even during tri-papacy people were this confused
There is literally nothing wrong with Iconoclasm.

Nah lad, what's disgusting is worshipping a shitty painting like if it was Jesus himself.

literally nothing would change unless you lived in a religious shithole country
i for one would like to see rise of occitan cathars and bosniak bogomils
wonder for how long they would have survived till they'd be marginalised like mandaeans and manicheans in asia
we should learn a lesson of tolerance from moslems

since god is everywhere anything can be appropriated for the use of worshiping god
>>52551692
it was same with ark of the covenant in ancient judaic religions
theoretically only relics have anysort of a divine power
in orthodoxy icons are treated as portals to saints if I recall right
the only genuinely iconoclastic part in mainstream church were the syriac church of the east (or holy catholic church of the east, what's with these out of union using catholic or orthodox name lol)
but they didn't had icons only in church, otherwise still making them

Daily reminder:
1. Reformationaists are absolutely heretical
2. Anyone who refutes VC2 (like SSPX) are totally heretical and deserve to die
lmao who gives a shit about religion
unload your fedora pics but it still doesn't nullify that this discussion is absolutely pointless

If God is everywhere than you don't need to use anything to worship him.
People often reach a point where they worship an icon or relic itself more than they worship God through it. It's idolatry.

>don't need
Of course not. Which is why there is no standard or requirement of icon interaction, its entirely optional and personal.
