Making images that are intended to "represent" or "portray" God the Father, the Lord Jesus, or the Holy Spirit are, in fact, a violation of the Second Commandment. No man can "capture" God in His perfect completeness. Consequently, He cannot be rightly (fully, perfectly) "represented" or "portrayed" other than by Himself. There weren't cameras in Jesus' day, and even if there had have been, a photograph would not suffice as a complete representation of the essence of God. Furthermore, if we see something that's supposed to represent Christ, ought we not be brought to a sense of awe and reverence? Herein lies a dilemma and a Catch 22. If we're not brought to a worshipful state by an image (hypothetically permissible/authorized)that is supposed to represent God, then we're guilty of failing to worship. If, however, we are brought to worship, and have said image as our mind's understanding of God, we're guilty of idolatry. There cannot be a representation or portrayal of God Almighty that's neutral.
