I see the lake of fire in your future. Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews and the God of the armies, hates artwork.
If God hates art then why did He give myself and others the talent of artistry, to waste, I think not. God given gifts are meant to be used.
Again I state "cherry picker," the verses continue on from there to say do not make things to worship. The verses also refer to created things which the Egyptians and Canaanites worshiped instead of the creator. God showed His powers as the owner of creation when He brought the plagues on Egypt and caused Pharaoh to release His people. You see this is easy when you look for the whole truth instead of cherry picking something to make your truth, which isn't truth at all.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that big. Apologies gang.
No, protestants do not believe that a picture or charm of Christ on the cross is appropriate, He is alive and well with the Father in heaven. To leave Him hanging on the cross is to be derogatory towards Him and his work for us.
