Why did God himself prescribe making images of cherabim with wings to put on the ark of the covenant? Is it not true that in God's own religion, which is the true religion he can approve of the making of images:
God said:
18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. 20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upwards, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking towards the cover. (Exodus 25)
God thus said:
Deuteronomy 27:15
Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol— a thing detestable to the LORD, the work of the craftsman's hands— and sets it up in secret. Then all the people shall say,Amen!
God's war is therefore against foreign religions not against his approved workmanship at his command and through his spirit.
