My point was that fairy tales are demonic. Perhaps the imagery you're familiar with (you did not mention whether you grew up as a catholic child) predisposes you to see beauty in idols?
Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
The next sentence contains the word "making" which I'll put in bold type for you. Idols are defined by God and are manifestations of demons who, if they had anything to do with Christ, would prevent you from
making such images whatever you call them and however you describe their use in worship. The
good tidings of good very specifically addresses removal of all such statues and icons and additionally that that happens in the here and now—as it will be then—to everyone yoked to such abominations. God uses the words
beautiful,
good tidings,
peace,
tidings of good,
salvation. Peace results when everyone worships God in the way He would like. Some things are not important, whether the grass where you meet should be mown to ½” or ¾” for example.
Other things are
CRITICAL 1 and top of the list is idols.
Would you be interested in attending a Baptist service? There you can hear The Truth supported by Scripture, something virtually impossible in Europe least of all at Christmas.
