    @Roberto.752 Great brother! I'm excited as this is my first lent in the Church and yesterday's Sunday of Orthodoxy was magnificent. God willing my conversion will continue being easy and I've been growing a lot closer with Christ since I've came to the Orthodox Church.

    I'm starting to look into the Orthodox faith in my search for the true church and biblical truth. My one question is how venerating icons not idolizing them? Is there scriptures to support it?

    I mean I kiss my parents, my family, other believers kissed one another as a greeting. The act of kissing doesn’t mean worship, holding them as Gods is. But when we kiss and icon we kiss the person of the icon, not the image. If you have any other questions I’d be happy to answer

    Just because you call it an icon doesn't make it not an idol. This one thing is stopping me from joining the orthodox church.

    @@DoomerDoxy I’m not saying it’s bad because it’s not in Scripture. That other person might be, but I’m not. I’m only making the point that the fact that the people who assembled the canon of scripture were not infallible, and if they had a practice that contradicts anything in the Bible, it needs to be questioned. Icon veneration *appears* to be contrary to much scripture, and deserves a good explanation. Your question isn’t an answer. Edit: If you want to convert people, be ready to patiently answer many questions instead of posing clever responses that antagonize but don’t clarify or teach.
