As I asked twice now, Do you think that Paul or Peter would become caretakers of "art" that was once idols and that still depicts false gods made up by men, worshiped by those who persecuted Believers who refused to bow down to them, and which are thereby covered in the blood of the martyrs?  Really?
1. If those art works were viewed as idols and worshiped as such, I would say, "no."

2. If those statues were considered to be just pieces of art work then I'm not sure.

The money loving evangelicals and fundamentalists money is soaked in the blood of the saints?  LOL!
You do not think that there are preachers out there that bilk people into believing that they are "saved" and that they are going to be "raptured" and they send them on mission trips and these poor people get killed for the delusions of their preachers?

That you are not sure, shows you are dead in trespasses and have no clue as to the Gospel, Tony.  There is no way in the name of Heaven that either Paul or Peter would install themselves as caretakers of idols cum "art". 

Yes, I believe there are preachers out there that bilk people into believing that they are "saved" and that they are going to be "raptured" and they send them on mission trips.

How is that the same as those idolaters who slew the martyrs because they wouldn't worship their gods, Tony?  The same gods represented by that "art" so-called of which your church claims herself to be the caretaker?  Sorry, Tony, comparing apples with oranges doesn't work.
