“But then again he told them to build the Ark with the 2 angels on top, how to adorn the walls of the temple and to make the brass serpent. Guess there were some exceptions.”
Yes exceptions and written and authorized in the Holy Word of God can you give me that exception of any other idols? You know like roman build me a crucifix or a demon mary statue... or maybe a vile of blood or even a tooth?..
No you can’t therefore they are not acceptable according to God and His Holy Word.
They are mute, deaf, and non seeing idols that you romans worship against God’s Word.
I get the feeling that even a Holy Hand Grenade would not please YOU!
Exceptions are bad things to make rules over.
