In all love,

Here is the commandment according to the KJV from Exodus 20:

4Thou 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.

5Thou 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;

Certainly, you may hold that no one should create anything. If this is how you understand then you will not be challenged.

Certainly, some may understand the two verses in companion as a commandment against idol worship. Again, these will not be challenged either.

You understand what you understand, they understand what they understand. There is truth in both perspectives.

Your position is both verses should stand on their own merit. Others may say that to quote only one verse is to take that verse out of context.

Who is to say one position is better then the other?

There is a different understanding that comes from the concept of the oneness of God. Many different Holy Books, including but not limited to the Bible, teach that God is in all things and nothing exist outside of him. To find an object or concept and declare that this is God in his fullness and entirety IS idol worship. For if you were to know the position of every atom in the universe and have the power to command any of them to take what ever form you wished, you still would not even come close to knowing or understanding the awesome nature of God.

Those who say they know, do not know. Those who say they do not know, know.

In life, you have a choice about how you approach things. There are two basic approaches:

If you approach a person, book or subject looking for truth, unity, understanding, insight and harmony, these things will appear in abundance. Perhaps not 100% but certainly if it is your intent these are the things that will manifest.

Likewise, if you approach things looking for lies, division and untruth, this is what will appear in abundance.

Here is a question that should cause introspection.

Friends, which of the above are you looking for?

Surely you will find the object of your search!
