God gave no such command in His revealed Word invent human images to adorn modern places of worship. Or to wear little representations of "Jesus" around your neck.

Or to make images on your Catacomb walls, or draw little fishes to represent Christ or numerous other images to express the Christian life: BUT NEITHER DID HE FORBID IT! Go look at the catacombs of the first second and third century Christians and tell me they didn't use imagery in their Christian faith!

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ..."

The existence of catacomb art is no evidence that God approve of such behavior. The church has had error mixed with truth since its inception. Just read 1 Corinthians, Galatians 1, or Revelation 2&3.

All sorts of abuses have been justified by the (inaccurate) mantra, "It's not forbidden in the Bible." Isn't the book of Exodus part of the RCC Bible?
