QUESTION: What is the difference between the first and second commandments?
The command to have only one God and no other god appeals to the heart and mind, while the command prohibiting image making, bowing and serving appeals to the eyes and the senses.
God is not naturally observed by human senses. That is part of God’s decree. He is a wonder, a mystery, an exalted being, unique in
all things. He is by nature glorious above all His creation. He wants to stay that way. And the first commandment announces to all men that such is His will. We already know what God does to whole nations of men who have other gods. Even their ignorance of the One True God is not an excuse. And God's displeasure and wrath unto all those who make the mistake of having other gods will soon be evident in the Lake of Fire.
