Christopher Reeder made this comment about R.C.'s church, so rather than go off topic in that discussion I am starting this thread to inquire about this. I assume these are "classical paintings" but it still seems a bit much for church imo.

Thoughts?
Thanks for the clarification. We have to be careful of these rumors, because it does bring injury to our brethren and is a violation of the commandment. Someone in another thread had mentioned that Sproul's congregation had nude paintings. It seemed quite odd to me.
