Seems like you are forgetting verse 5. You can take any segment of verse and make it say what you want. That is very dangerous. It is always important to include whole paragraphs, whole thoughts.

Indeed.

You seem quite knowledgeable, so let me pose the question to you: Do you know of any command of God to Christians to draw/paint/sculpt/display images of Jesus?

I'm sorry, but I'm not following your logic here. There are lots of things that aren't "commanded" that we do that are perfectly fine. I just don't understand how this is hard. It says do not create a image and worship it. Verse 5 says "You shall not bow down to THEM or worship THEM"<-------. What is THEM? The false Images and Idols. It's the same basic thing when God allowed his followers to own anything. Job owned a ton of stuff that the Bible does not command you to have and yet he was Righteous. Because he DID NOT WORSHIP THEM (not yelling, just want to emphasize).
