WHY DID CHRISTIANITY MAKE GRAVEN IMAGES OF JESUS WHEN IT WAS FORBIDDEN IN THE SCRIPTURES?

Why do people make graven images of Obama and other presidents?

There is no one section that clearly defines idolatry; rather there are a number of commandments on this subject spread through the books of the Hebrew Bible, some of which were written in different historical eras, in response to different issues. Taking these verses together, idolatry in the Hebrew Bible is defined as either:

the worship of idols (or images)
the worship of polytheistic gods by use of idols (or images)
the worship of animals or people
the use of idols in the worship of God.

Wait a second.

So you claim Christians can idolize pictures of Jesus because non-Christians can idolize pictures of famous people?

And, well, call me crazy, but i find this pretty clear:
You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You remember this passage? Hint: It's in the ten commandments.

I'm sure you are just trying to be funny here.

This is the man-contamination against communing with the Infinite the Christ came to destroy. It never even made it past Christ's murder before the idolatry started back up. The twisting and bolting on of man-visions and interpretations continue to erode the truth to this day.

The arrival of the Christ was so revolutionary... it was to end all religions on Earth and set up communing directly with the Creator through a Tool, a Door, a modulator / demodulator device with one "foot" in the realm of the finite domains and the other "foot" in the infinite domain.

Not even supposed to worship a book, the bible, or hold a building in high esteem (church building), or military ranking styled system of "religious people". One on one was the design and now look where it's all gone astray.

No

The scripture is very clear...Isaiah 42

"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

But do you understand, Lotus, that the 'graven images' reference also applies to such things as crop circles, Buddhism, palmistry, etc....all of which you espouse?

In fact...all of the New Age systems that you incorporate into your teaching.

This is a clear indication of someone who didn't read the whole Bible. God commanded images to be made -- look to the cherubim on the Ark as one example. What was forbidden was the wrong kind of God

Not only that, Lens Flare, but Lotus claims to be the Messiah setting herself above the only begotten Son of God.

But what she's secretly trying to do is set herself up as a right-wing anti-Islamic leader in Britain by invoking biblical quotations of context to protray herself as a prophet.

She has an agenda here and it's not good.

Well said..
..and I think she knows Catholicism is a Babylon/Cabalism/Judaic hybrid..from it's skullcaps and dagon hats to it's robed priests and goddess worship. (Hinduism and it's New Age trappings is the religion of Babylon carried to the east.) Graven images, as ugly as that is, is only a small part of the historical damage this false front religion has done through the centuries.
.This is all the about the Cabala..the doctrine of the Pharisees that made God Himself refer to them as "snakes and vipers."

Christianity didn't.

OFF TOPIC:

If only OP you were so meticulous in promoting the actual truth!

OK, lets be clear, the Catholics worship graven images of Mary wich is idolitry. They also show Jesus on the cross in all their churches. Christians worship God, which Jesus is in the Trinity of God. Christians show crosses only, Jesus is risen to be at the right hand of the heavenly Father.
