So, it is bowing down that we are not to do? The point of this commandment is to ensure proper posture?
That’s preposterous.
People make idols of many things. Fame, power, wealth. But, as i understand you, that is all fine. As long as they don’t make a statue of their false god and bow before it.
Is it possible that the commandment is about what you worship and not about literally making and bowing?
Why do you think God said *or*?
