Because God is a spirit, He cannot be formed into a physical object for worship. Because God has no physical likeness all uses of idols are an abomination. They are carnal man's attempt to make their own God. God reveals Himself to us in the face of His Son, Jesus Christ, and through the written word, the Scriptures of truth from Genesis to Revelation. Yes, we can know God in so far as He reveals Himself. For this we can be thankful and worship Him in spirit and truth.
