Note, in all these cases, God commanded these things be done. Are you God that ye may command anything? Do you usurp authority that God holds to himself as an excuse to break His laws?! Who are you that you should Judge God and His actions?! Who is your clergy that they may teach you to do so by default! You tempt the Lord with your words and have no realization of what you speak. God does as His purpose leads Him to do. You're Clergy does the same. The word shall judge. And the Lord will have his day!
Not so. The images that Solomon built for the Temple and his palace as recorded in 1 Kings 6 and 7 were not, as far as I know, commanded by God to be made. Try again. Or as you, like a spoiled child, would say, OOPS!
You say that if we make images we commit sin. Yet God tells His people to make images. In effect, according to your very strict interpretation of the commandment against images, God was telling His people to sin. I don't know about your god, but my God doesn't command people to sin.
Unless of course, your 100%, no images, no way, no how reading is perhaps too much(but that can't be because you are without error in matters of interpretation)
