As I understand it, the Reformed position is that all religious images should be removed from churches, but images which are purely civil may be retained. So one cannot have images of the cross in a church, but one can have images of flowers for instance. But my confusion lies in that Exodus 20:4 and other verses seem to forbid images completely. A flower is certainly something which is "in the earth beneath", so it seems it should be forbidden in places of worship.
