if God is the creator personally then all of us are his children.

"As even some of your own poets have said, 'For we are indeed his offspring.' Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man."

So there should be no images of Jesus. I personally don't think it's wise to turn Christ into a symbol that is not even Christ, because that image is looked at as a representation of God. Who is that on the wall, oh that's Jesus. No it's not it's some random image of man.

I agree that the Bible teaches that images of Jesus are wrong and misleading. So did the early Christians, because the earliest images we have of Jesus are very late.
