Reading from the book of Exodus GOD forbids us to make for ourselves any graven images. In other words things that hinder us from the love of GOD. Automatically we hone in the part of the scripture. Creation can be a tricky word when it is used on the tongues of sinners.
We forget words like acquire, keep, and use, prepare, work, execute, accomplish, fashion. It is in these words that the actions of (making for ourselves) help us to understand GOD’S meaning. From these words also come admire, love, hate, pride. GOD has already purposed each of His creations to be specific to His needs.
I never knew this until the revelation from GOD but I own lots of angel dolls that I would paint as figurines because I enjoyed the way they look. Scripture calls this an abomination. (in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below)
[SUP]Exodus 20:4 [/SUP]“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. [SUP]5 [/SUP]You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,[SUP]6 [/SUP]but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
[SUP]Deutoronomy 7:25 [/SUP]The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the Lord your God. [SUP]26 [/SUP]Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
