Question from a christian about what idolatry is and if making any type of images is wrong.

I hope this is the right place to ask this since I assume jews would be more knowledgable about the torah and the 10 commandments. I know you guys do not believe in christianity but I am not here to discuss the religious beliefs or differences, I just want this answer from a jew because christians have to many different beliefs about this topic and never agree with eachother.

So the christians that are not part of the apostolic faith (catholic and orthodox) say that catholics and orthodox christians commit idolatry becayse they make statues and icons and that making images is forbidden. Catholics and orthodox say that making GRAVEN images is forbidden, and the images that they have are not graven since they are if acual people that existed ( Mary, the apostles, saints) and not of deities.

The commandment against making images is the second of the Ten Commandments, found in Exodus 20:4. It states, “You shall not make for yourself a 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”. This command was given to prohibit idolatry and the worship of false gods. But God also commanded the making of images for the temple, specifically two cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant, in Exodus 25:18-20. This command does not contradict the second commandment against making idols, which is to prevent the worship of carved images, not their creation for religious purposes.

So, I am guessing it isnt wrong to make images, it just depends what images and how you are using them?

Also about idolatry. Catholics and orthodox say that real idolatry involves sacrfice. So like you would have to actually provide a sacrifice or offering for the image in order for it be idolatry. Some christians say that simply having images in itself is idolatry. So what is idolatry?
