Hi

I don't think it is wrong to have an idol.

But you should not try to copy them, you should make your own path in life.

Paul
 
The LORD God has totally condemned anyone who does so. That is one of the first commandments God has given us and we are told throughout the Bible Scriptures. So if you defy God you will understand that He condemns such action. There is no positive way to have idols and serve the LORD God.
