Byzantine Iconoclasms

Power is that everyone wants to own for themselves or to help others. People's leaders have a lot of power, and if they want more power, they are forced to compete or compromise. Between 700 AD and 900 AD, the church was the source of influential power and continued to acquire it. The Emperor of the Byzantine Empire is also influential and still needs more power. The urgency of the church is approaching them, and the way the emperor thinks they can gain more power is to take over the church and rule it.

In the beginning of the eighth century, the destruction of Byzantine's idols became the main cause of the conflict between the East and the West. Emperor Byzantine forbidding the creation and worship of religious images violated the Ten Commandments. We also prohibit other major religions in eastern parts like Judaism and Muslim. Pope Gregory III strongly opposed. The new queen, Eileen stood in front of the Pope and called for the establishment of a universal committee. In 787, the father of the Second Council of Nicaea "received enthusiastically the representation of the Pope and his message." Finally, 300 bishops led by representatives of Pope Hadrian, I adopted the teachings of the Pope, in favor of the icon

Along the Byzantine era (literally literally broken), early 8th century saw the repression and destruction of religious idols. The 2 nd Nysia Council of 787 virtually ended the first Byzantine destruction and restored respect for icons and icons. However, this did not quickly become a large depiction of the father. Even supporters using icons in the 8th century, such as St. John of Damascus, distinguished the statue of Christ from the image of Christ.

Fierce debate about the role of art in worship eventually led to the era of "Byzantine destruction". In the 2020s, Asia Minor confirmed the anti-traditional occurrence of sporadic occurrences by local bishops. In 726, an underwater earthquake between Terra and Teradia Island was interpreted as a sign of God's anger by Emperor Leo 3, and made it possible to remove famous icons from Christ from the chalk gate outside the palace. But before the reign of Leo 's son, Konstantin V, the destruction of idols may not have been the policy of the empire. The Sirzia parliament, convened under Constantin's control in 754, banned the creation of Christ's idols. This started the Iconoclastic era and continued until 843.
