Question 97

Are images then not at all to be made?

God neither can, nor may be represented by any means:²⁷³²⁷³    Isa. 40:25. but as to creatures; though they may be represented, yet God forbids to make, or have any resemblance of them, either in order to worship them or to serve God by them.²⁷⁴²⁷⁴    Exod. 23:24, 25; Exod. 34:13, 14, 17; Num. 33:52; Deut. 7:5; Deut. 12:3; Deut. 16:21; 2 Kin. 18:3, 4.
