The First Commandment forbids us from worshipping false gods; the Second Commandment forbids us from worshipping the true God falsely. The Second Commandment raises lots of questions: What’s wrong with making images of God - especially if it seems like they might aid our worship? Why does God give this command? What does it mean to keep this commandment in a visual culture like ours? https://mtownchurch.ca/
