@dk_catechumen@HwsEleutheroi But the debate thesis was as defined by Nicea 2. and Nicea 2 defines kissing the icon as part of the gospel. and there is 0 evidence that the early church treated icons like that or that it was passed down by the apostles.
Why does everyone say @HwsEleutheroi Lost the debate vs Craig Truglia? Craig did not prove the thesis. All he did was show that before nicea 2 people had icons. he didnt show that veneration defined by the council was apostolic.

James' consistentcy... 🧵
“But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell! ”
Galatians 1:8
The EO church is condemned by Paul because of that council.
Excellent debate review with a great quote at the end from someone Truglia cited for his position. But this particular quote goes directly against the debate thesis!
