Are Icons of Jesus a Violation of the 2nd Commandment?

[jas3]

The bronze snake was eventually destroyed by King Hezekiah as part of his religious reforms

to rid Judah of idolatry.

That doesn't address my question. Would an image of something from heaven above, or earth beneath, be a violation of the simple English in Exodus 20:4?

Ask someone who understand simple English.

Do you not understand simple English?

Do you not understand simple English?

Are you hard of hearing, or do you prefer idolatry to honoring God's Word in Simple English ?

I prefer not to make God contradict Himself. So, for the third time, Exodus 20:4 - does it forbid all images of things in heaven and on earth?

 

[Aaron112]

I prefer not to make God contradict Himself.

Yet you have no inclination to honor His Own Word instead of seeming to be contradicting Him often ?

I believe that is called idolatry or witchcraft, isn't it ?

If you're not able to answer a simple question after asking it three times, I see no reason for us to continue.

There was apparently no reason from the start- I speak and read and post in English.
If someone does not comprehend simple English, especially an instruction from the Creator Himself that Jesus requires obedience to, then what good does repeating God's Command/Commandment/ Instruction do ? Rebelling against God's Word is not recommended at all for anyone.

God commanded us not to worship such images. If you understand the Bible you will see that images and statues are acceptable as long as you do not idolize or worship those images or statues. In fact if you read Numbers 12: 8-9 you will find that God commanded that an image of a serpent on the pole be made.
