Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
ya....That’s on the same page as the instructions for carving The Ark of the Covenant.
Let us know when you reconcile that little fact with your interpretation of your quote.
I rarely attend church, but when I am subjected to Catholic weddings with all their up down sit stand up down sit stand go get crackers up down sit stand... I look at the icon they have hanging above the altar that is a represention of a man, the son of G-d Himself, gruesomely scourged, a crown of thorns jammed upon His head, nailed to a cross, and lanced in the side... and I find it rather... disturbing. That such a likeness is acceptable, is very odd, given the 2nd commandment being fairly clear about idols.
-— Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. -—
Like the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant?
Sculptures are not evil. Worshipping them is.
