I don't think alot of people realize the seriousness of God's 2nd Commandment over His 6th one Thou Shalt Not Kill!
That one by itself has confused people for centuries, when they think it's the 5th.
Long before any church or any religion came into affect God wrote them in his order over 3000 years ago.
Now to his 2nd Thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Images! Sculptures may think it's a work of art or honoring someone from history. But the fact remains
God Commanded not to make any likeness of anything, in the heavens in the earth or the way waters beneath the earth.
For God to make that Commandment more high than killing someone shows God is supremely serious!
