God might say, "What part of ANY didn't you understand?"He might also say, "What part of worship didn't you understand?" You see, the two verses make up one sentence (there's even more, though, discussing the sins of the father) and you can't use one without the other. It basically is saying that we should not make images to worship. When I bow at the altar, it is toward God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit ... not to the crucifix behind the altar or to the altar itself. There IS a difference.

Is it okay to do the physical act as long as you believe you're worshipping God? Does that mean it's okay to murder someone as long as you're worshipping God while you're doing it?

And... if you should kiss the crucifix, or the toes of the statue of Mary as she is being paraded down the street???
