Speratus, yes. Some hold to an incredibly conservative interpretation of the second commandment. I think it is proper to guard against the overuse and abuse of such things, as you pointed out some of the problems of veneration, etc. However, the idea that our worship services and meeting places should be devoid of all symbolism is not found in scripture nor historical Christianity. I can easily pick out three common practices, used by nearly every denomination, that are not found within scripture. Still,m it's better to guard against overuse of anything, IMHO.

A simple search on The Passion, or modern contemporary music will surely get results.


God bless,
