"The same G-d who forbade the making of images?"

Nope. God never forbade the "making of images". In fact, he frequently commanded them to be made. Re-read your WHOLE Bible. You will find "images" pretty much everywhere, from the brass serpents in Exodus, to the Ark of the Covenant, to the decorations in the Temple, and many more.

And you'll even find miracles performed by "relics" (witness the bones of the prophet that, when dug up, brought the dead back to life).

“God never forbade the “making of images”.”

” Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them” - Exodus 20:4

That’s pretty emphatic.

Once you’ve read the “whole Bible”, get to know its Author. He’ll interpret it for you.

The body being thrown onto the Prophet’s bones and springing to life is no reason to venerate pieces of corpses. Leave dead religion behind and come to a relationship with the Almighty.
