You better go look at your commandments again. I think there's one in there about bearing false witness or something like that.

My apologies. Apparently I misread your "of course not" in post #28 to mean "of course I have so such commandment."

I have no desire to misrepresent you. Either you have such a command of God or you don't. I'd like to know which it is.

If you have such a command of God, please, show it to us and bring a swift and merciful end to the entire debate.

No, I meant it as "of course not," to your postulate that I had not received such a commandment. I do think it's highly instructive as to your, my, and indeed all of our abilities to interpret things differently. Which is why I asked for your definition of "graven image" (or whichever translation of the Bible you prefer, false idols, etc.)

What does that commandment mean to you? Does it mean no anthropomorphic representations whatsoever? Does it mean no naturalistic representations of anything whatsoever? Or does it simply mean no graphic representations of God whatsoever?

...Or does it mean something entirely different to you? Please give me your interpretation so we can more fully discuss...
