No one can possibly know what Jesus looks like. In this image, someone has created an image of what they believe is "God" based on their own experience and opinions. They have created their own god! That is idolatry.
If you find yourself being reverent to an image like this or it affects how you act or pray, watch out. You may be worshipping an image.
God knows that humans have this tendency (He created them after all). So, he gave us the second commandment (Exodus 20:4-5).
No, they have not created their own god. No one is worshipping that image. Iconoclasm is heresy and you are promoting a heresy. Christianity is not islam, and christianity does not hold that images of christ or if God are idolatry, since no one is worshipping those images.
no, it isn’t and never has been
