Like all theology it would depend on the religion. So far as i know,only Islam holds to this belief as far as "pictures and statues" are concerned. Otherwise,to be an idol it would have to be worshipped and the view taken that a god actually inhabits the statue or bas relief.

If this was true then why did God give the design and measurements of the Ark of the Covenant that incorporated two Angels on the lid.

No, because didn't God instruct the Hebrews to sculpt the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant?

If you read the whole commandment, bowing and worship seems to be involved. Though, in a sense, idolatry can be anything we substitute for God.

i do not. in basic terms Jesus/God is worth of worship. images, statues, pendants, etc, are in basic terms mere symbols to assist remind us that Jesus died for my sins. they in basic terms grow to be an idol once you provide them power, once you commence to imagine you want to desire to that merchandise. so long because it continues to be no longer something more beneficial than a ornament, it isn't an idol.

No, only if you worship them! Gods, get an education.

No. Is the picture of your family that you carry in your wallet an idol?

No. We're not praying to them as gods. They're merely representation.
