Exodus 20:4 >Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,

The cheribum were the guardians of Eden after Adam and Eve were banished. They are symbolic of God indwelling. Eden was God's house, and then the Ark is God's house.

>it's illegal to kill another person
>it's legal to kill another person in self defense

Do you see a contradiction? Because I don't. The first is a generic rule, the second is an exemption to the rule.

Retard.

The situation with art differs

Here we see that imagery in certain situations are ok, as long as not used for idolatry.

The issue is context just as with the issue of killing

>>1636771
The context is that the thing is forbidden unless God explicitly permits / commands you to do it, like was the case with the Ark.

>>1636782
So killing in self defense is considered a breach of the second commandment?

Because God also sanctioned killings

But either way of we follow your logic here, it entails that science is actually idolatry given depictions of objects in the heavens above, of the earth beneath and of the waters below through illustrations, diagrams and photographs.

So yes let it be that the mere act of me drawing a moon or a fish is wrong
