No, of course not. Christ Himself repeated the Ten Commandments, and strengthened them. But Christ said nothing against images, except, of course, that He Himself is in a sense, an image.

Every place in the OT where it speaks of statues being made, they are refered to as idols and gods...That is how God defines statues...Of any thing in heaven or on earth...There's no way around it...God defined it...

The fact that you make your gods and call them Mary and Saints doesn't change a thing...God is still just as jealous as he was in the OT...

Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

And God clearly says in the Commandments, do not make any gods...

And no, Jesus is not an image...Jesus is real...

That is true. We should not make gods out of saints. This is why we don’t do that, — that is God’s commandment which we obey.

Regarding Jesus being an icon of God, see Colossians 1:15, among several other similar passages.

Amen!
