Luther believed that the Old Testament did not prohibit the use of images, only the worship of them. Images for memorial, such as crucifixes or images of saints, were to be tolerated. Abuse should not lead to condemnation. People did not try to remove the sun from the sky because some people are sun-worshippers. He was drawn to the pedagogical function by which people could better know the truths of Scripture. He noted that his own translation of the Bible contained pictures and since the iconoclasts read it without complaint, how could they complain about the pictures within it?
