You shall not make for yourself a carved image. — Exodus 20:4

 Any representation of a deity in art poses a risk. No created item can fully and accurately represent God. God gave Israel the prohibition against creating any representations of celestial or terrestrial objects to serve as objects of worship. Such representations desecrate God by distorting His grandeur, which might encourage sin.

Worshipping an idolized representation of one of the three persons of the Trinity obscures God's splendor. It misdirects us. According to John 4:24, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

While God created us in His image, we are unable to create Him in ours. 
All of Thy angels adore Thee, O Great Father of Glory, O Pure Father of Light; All praise we would render—O help us to behold.You are merely hidden by the beauty of the light!
