The first commandment forbids the making of graven images “TO ADORE THEM.” This is found in the Book of Exodus, where we read:
“Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them.”
It would seem images are forbidden when we attribute to them a power that belongs to God alone, or if we worship them as gods.
Looks like the “image made like to corruptible man” to me. Is it supposed to depict God?
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
