This is why Scripture says do NOT make any graven image. No one has seen God and Jesus is NOT described anywhere except in Isiah where it says there was nothing special about His looks. A graven image is NOT God and never can be. We are to worship Him.

Many protestants don't even allow a cross in the church because we don't worship the cross but the one that was on it. If you have a cross with Jesus on it, we are reminded that He is not on it any longer. Stop trying to make images to worship, but worship the true and living God. I go to a non denominational church and it took years to get a cross mounted on a back wall just to please some.

Any statue or portrait could be an image of uncle Joe for all we know. Davinci painted Jesus as some blue eyed European with blue eyes eating a french bread loaf at the Last Supper.

It's all ridiculous. Stop practicing religion and start to worship the living risen Savior.

Like that of ol’ Geo. Washington on the dollar?

“No one has seen God “

Well, Moses hair saw God but, a few people did meet Jesus, who is God...
