Have read it several times. But no matter what you call it, it is still having graven images in your place of worship that you use as symbols of the real entity. The Bible clearly calls that idolatry.

I don't believe you read it even once. I don't have discussions with people I don't believe.

Graven means "sculpted" or "carved." Do you really think that God has something against carved images per se?

But don't take my word for it. Read who commanded the carving of images in the Bible:

Numbers 21:8
The Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live."

Exodus 25:19
Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.

Exodus 26:1
Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman.
