I really can't understand your question. It doesn't make sense. Did not God Himself say worship no one but Him?
Thou shall not worship any idol, be it man, stone, or the earth, or a graven image?
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing
Ex 20:4-6 (KJV)
Hab. 2:18.(cross reference) Exodus 20:5- It also forbids us to make images of God in our fancies, as if he were a man as we are. Our religious worship must be governed by the power of faith, not by the power of imagination. They must not make such images or pictures as the heathen worshipped, lest they also should be tempted to worship them. Those who would be kept from sin must keep themselves from the occasions of it. Matthew Henry Com".
Wow have we been doing this?
This one always have made me tremble; For some reason I used to try and justify this and out of my ignorance or lack of knowledge of God's word; I didn't know that this was to be taken literal like all the other commands, People would want to argue saying that "I have them, but as long as I'm not bowing down and worshipping them it's okay". But I'm not ashamed to say I just noticed today for the first time that these are two separate commandments; and the fourth says we're not supposed to even make them.
So this leads to my question; As a believer; how to you handle this; since obedience is better than sacrifice?
