>any physical representation/duplication/facsimile of any of Gods creation, a photograph, painting, film, statue or sculpture is a violation of the second commandment.

By any chance are you a Muslim?

In the biblical context, graven images explicitly referred to idols to devils that were venerated with the worship solely reserved for God Himself (which is obviously the crime of idolatry). It never referred to images in general, especially icons, which were not only permitted, but actually mandated (the description of the Ark of the covenant and Solomon's temple are *full* of Icons as well as non-religious sculptures as well). Had God not wanted the Israelites to create works of art and Icons, He would have never commanded them to build the Ark of the Covenant with such specifications. Iconoclasm was formally condemned as heretical by the early Church for this reason.

I think the fact that he made the specifications of its creation mean that it is acceptable to create what he specified, The rest of what you say is just what a bunch of jews did after Christ died and was resurrected and ascended.

All of the apostles were ethnic jews, They worshiped in the temple and celebrated Passover. whatever they did after his death is worth reading but it's not the word of God, it's basically a bunch of rabbis

Ethnic Jews essentially died out or mixed with Europeans by the time the Roman Empire converted, the modern jews we have now are likely not related to them, at least any more than than the average european is.
