Not all symbols are idols. Not all are bad.

Is the bible the Word of God? Is it a kind of symbol?

all idols are idols. Yhvh made this very very clear to Israel, and blessed them when they destroyed all their idols, and sent plagues upon them when they disobeyed (remember?) (or didn't read Torah yet?)

The Bible is the authority we have, it is the Word of Yhvh, and is practically the only standard we can trust.
The Bible might be a symbol to some people. For them that could be either good or bad, life or death, as Yhvh Judges.

ananias and saphira might have died of a heart attack. after the Word of Yhvh was spoken to them.
the same thing has happened a few times or more in the last couple hundred years around the world.

but it's better to see people healed of heart disease, and that's the purpose of Truth and of Yhvh's message in Yeshua - healing of every manner of disease. when you find ecclesia who are healing people in their community, and wherever they go and travel and speak, then you have found the people of the book.

Why do you think you have authority to tell someone to delete a post that is of no violation? Your assertion that these pictures are idols is your personal opinion only. If you have an issue with the posting of the pictures, take it up in private messages with the member or report it to the staff. (ToS 2.14)

It's wrong to call a religious symbol (even the Bible) a representation of God if one is bowing down to it and worshiping it as this puts the symbol above that of God and becomes your idol before Him.

Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Isa 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
