The iconoclasts' aim is to preserve the church's strict opponents to images in devotion, which they assumed existed in some early Christian communities.
One aspect of the theological debate, as with most in Christian theology at the time, revolved around Jesus' two natures.
Iconoclasts presumed that icons could not simultaneously represent the Messiah's human and divine natures, but only one at a time.
This is so because an icon depicting Jesus as purely physical would be Nestorianism, and one depicting Him as both human and divine would be Monophysitism, all icons were considered heretical.
Leo III did preach a series of sermons in which he emphasized the iconodules' excessive behavior, which he claimed was in direct violation of Mosaic Law, as evidenced by the Second Commandment.
However, there are no detailed writings laying out iconoclast arguments that have survived; we only have brief quotations and references in our records.
