Really, huh..

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--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.'

Yutz, me thinks you know too little about Christianity!!

Correct; the eye is symbolic of the Holy Trinity. Worshiping the Holy Trinity is perfectly kosher, in a matter of speaking.

And the "carved image or likeness" rule has never been observed to that extent. Paintings and carvings of angels have adorned paintings, stained glass, carvings, sculptures, etc., have been around for centuries. Hell, Michaelangelo's famous painting of God Himself playing the "pull my finger" trick on Adam adorns the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

You know this.

You know this.

But those very rules did cause several bloody struggles within medieval Christianity between iconoclasts who went around destroying religious imagery as blasphemous and those who sought to protect them as the material representation of God's Word.
