I realized the meaning of idolatry and why it is such an abhorrence against God. When I try to understand God and visualize Him, it is not possible to me to comprehend Him, as my mind cannot come to grips with God, and all I can visualize Him is only through the attributes revealed in the scriptures. Because of this I can only worship Him in spirit and truth, but not with my mind as I cannot comprehend.
Now coming to the various idols that man makes and worships it, the idols are a result of what his mind understands God to be, and represented that in a form. This is why God commanded that "You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them."
Jesus said "He who has seen Me, has seen the Father" (John 14:9) - Do we see Jesus? Is He in us?
