Throughout the Bible, the worship of statues,
images, idols, etc. were forbidden. The Bible warns
that we should not exchange the glory of God for
anything that resembled man, animal, etc.
Romans
1:20-25* -- For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine
nature, have been clearly seen, being understood
through what has been made, so that they are without
excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not
honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became
futile in their speculations, and their foolish
heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they
became fools, and exchanged the glory of the
incorruptible God for an image in the form of
corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals
and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over
in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their
bodies might be dishonored among them. For they
exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped
and served the creature rather than the Creator, who
is blessed forever. Amen. (NAS)
* Note: This scripture shows that we are not to
exchange the glory of the incorruptible God for any
image (either in the form of man, birds, animals or
creatures). God the Father is invisible according to
Romans 1:20, Colossians 1:15 and 1 Timothy 1:17. God
the Father is spirit according to John 4:24. God the
Father is also described as a consuming fire
according to Deuteronomy 4:24 and Hebrews 12:29. And
we are not to worship created images.
