"You don’t seem to have any regard for Exodus 20:16."

Catholics don't appear to have any regard for Exodus 20:4 either:

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20:4

[conservativegramma]

AMEN!

[wagglebee]

Perhaps you should read Exodus 25 where God INSTRUCTS Moses how to make the Ark.

Catholics don't appear to have any regard for Exodus 20:4 either:

Nor did the Jews:

And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel

Exodus 25:20

[Petronski]

Apparently God violated His own commandment when he gave instructions for construction of the Ark of the Covenant.

Or maybe your interpretation of Exodus 20:4 is defective.

Here’s a hint: Exodus 20:2-5 provides the complete context of Exodus 20:4.
