Judaism: Forbidden art?

it is not true to say Christians "never" read it literally, read up on Byzantine iconoclasm. Furthermore, some conservative Protestant groups have very plain Churches with no images etc.
but after a period in the 8th/9th century of removing icons and images from Christian churches, the Church eventually settled on accepting iconography and images, as they felt that it was acceptable, as they believed that HaShem had become manifest in the material world through Jesus. that is why Jews and Christians disagree.

That idea is exactly heretical according to the Jewish faith. Hashem cannot have a material body, he is incorporeal and infinite. One has only to read the Torah to learn that Christianity is competely illogical and impossible to believe for a religious Jew. I don't want to denigrate those Christians who read this section, but please keep your religion to your own forums and leave this forum to discuss Torah from the Jewish perspective... Thank you..

I was explaining why Christians and Jews have different opinions, pointing out what Christians believe, everything there is a fact about Christian belief. it was not proselytising, I am not a Christian.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Wake up you idiot, this is a JEWISH forum. You don't have the right to be here, let alone to criticize this religion--it's just that Chaim is a nice guy and doesn't discriminate against anyone who professes to support Israel. Obviously you hate Judaism, and that's why your arse has been banned.
