The bible would condemn worshiping the icon. If you confuse the inanimate icon for a god, you are violating the 2nd commandment. If you wear a cross, or place a cross on your wall, or have a picture of the Lord’s Supper on your wall, or any image that recalls to mind the stories or personages from the Bible, you aren’t worshiping them. Unless you are, which almost nobody is. If you find someone who is worshiping the icon itself, then you can gently remind them to turn their worship and attention up and heavenward. But most people understand the distinction.

It also would forbid the making of the image or icon.
