....”examine this picture more closely”....
What for?... All the idols and representations of them are directly opposing what God has clearly stated we should not do....
It’s like this....Christianity started growing after the Death and Resurrection of Jesus,.... Rome was getting it’s pants in a knot as they saw this new Movement a threat to Rome’s Power and cushy lifestyle they were accustomed to.....So the government of Rome ‘literally’ sought to destroy the Christian Church through mass murder... but were unsuccessful.
... The ‘Roman’ Catholic Church “was created” as a response to True Christianity....The Pagan practices ,rites and rituals of Rome ‘were mixed’ with Christianity to create a new Brand of religion (Cathlolicism).. attractive not only to Rome’s leadership, but to those who didn’t want to give up their idols and practices.....which as the New Religion joined then with Rome and it’s partnership would dominate the world (as Rome did) and undermine True Christianity.
What is known today as Cardinals and Archbishops from the Catholic Church come from the Priests and High Priests of the Ancient Cults that ‘dominated’ Ancient Rome.... The way the Archbishops and Cardinals ‘dress’ are from those Ancient Cults.
God ‘detests’ Idol Worship. It is a sin to pray to statues or to worship any graven image.
Exodus 20:3-5 Leviticus 26:1 Deuteronomy 4:15-17
They even make an idol of the host as they are to worship it.
