What it really comes down to in an essence of thought. This protest declares God can make a law but not obey it. Just amazing.
He is above even his own laws. Sorry that does not make sense. I do not care whatever theology "words" you come up with in a discussion. I have read this old hat argument. God is using this as a visual aid for believers in these scriptures. Even God knew about " A picture/image speaks a thousand words. Also in any language too. When people from other languages see it they can talk in the own language about it. This is one of many reasons the church uses images.
It is an inanimate object. He put it there for honor at times. So if you have an image of a wedding to honor you are just as guilty too according to the absolutely nooooo images crowd.
I walk into some churches with stained glass windows with biblical stories. The baptism of Christ, His birth and all the Passion of Christ. I know in the Holy Spirit within me confirming the beauty of it as I honor God.
In my book with accurate thinking you would be doing idolatry by sacrificing to the image. I have a picture of my mother. I honor her not worship her like the Good book also says "Honor your Mother or Father."
Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
