Veneration of Images Debate (Part 8/12)

This is part 8/12 of a debate that took place December 2, 2010, between TurretinFan (Reformed) and William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) on the topic, "Is the Veneration of Images Sinful?" TurretinFan took the affirmative position, and William Albrecht took the negative. TurretinFan demonstrated from Scripture that the veneration of images is prohibited. TurretinFan also addressed objections from the evidence of Historical Theology and Archaeology on the topic of images. Unfortunately, Mr. Albrecht's strongest piece of historical evidence for the early veneration of images turned out to be a pseudographic work attributed to Basil. He also cited the Vienna Genesis document, which is a 6th century manuscript, while claiming that it was a 4th century manuscript.
