A statue on it's own is not a graven image as the bible considers a graven image. .If it becomes an object of worship it becomes a graven image. How we treat the object is the problem not the object itself.
The question becomes.
Why create the object in the first place. Why is it needed.
That really isn't the question. As I christian I wonder why the church does not accept that Jesus died and paid the price for sin. Therefore sin is no longer counted against us. We live by faith alone not by any works that we do. The world is in a world of hurt because the church rejects that Jesus atoned for all sin and wickedness. The church demands that Jesus does something else. That something else will happen when he returns. We seem to reject that God is Spirit and we are called to worship is spirit and truth. We want to see him in the flesh. Isn't that the same idea as looking at a graven image? We want to see something to have faith in it. Look at Daniel 9:24 the church rejects the idea that Jesus fulfilled that verse. Because of that rejection we have all these crazy ideas that He will come back to finish the rest. That somehow we will live forver and never "sin". That somehow we will not want to sin because we will be so pure. Instead of the real reason there will be no more sin which is this, Jesus nailed sin to the cross. It is no longer counted against us. By faith alone we walk with Him
The main issue is that the human race has learned to complicate everything. When we complicate reality, it becomes easier to confuse and deceive people.
What I have learned is that evil tells no lies—evil uses complicated truths to confuse and deceive people.
Take video games as an example. When Nintendo first came out, games were much simpler. The controllers had just two buttons: A and B.
Compare that to now, where games are far more complex and harder to play.
We live in a time where culture itself is confusing and full of variables.
To teach morality effectively, we need extremely simple ideas that people can quickly understand and apply.
We need to ask ourselves: If we want people to follow Christ, what exactly are we teaching them? Are we teaching something subjective that can be interpreted in countless ways?
Or are we teaching something clear and actionable, something they can practice tomorrow?
Everything comes down to communication. If someone isn’t following what we teach as we expected, maybe it’s because we’re not motivating or communicating it effectively.
The way I see it. Evil tells no truth.It uses true words to convey false ideas. In the bible what lie did the serpent say when speaking to Eve? The words were true the intention was false. Honest truth is not complicated. "Truth" designed to deceive is very complicated.
