In dueteronomy, god commands no graven images of fish, birds, animals and insects…. Does that mean taxidermy mounts Are forbidden? Or does that mean made to worship them like gods?

Me thinks you are thinking to deep on the subject of graven images, and not seeing the command as is written, and why !

Sort of like people miss reading the 2 Amendment

Taxidermy mounts are okay, wood carvings of the animals are forbidden.

I'm saying this in jest. This scripture is about carving (graven) statues or other images that were worshipped.

Exactly right.


As an American I'm growing tired of our ancestors being compared to the migrants of today.

^^^^^^
Why are you worried about God's commands from the Old Testament. You probably know that it is impossible to uphold them. Besides, that is not how we get God's favor anyway.

Are you ready to abide by this command? Leviticus 19:27 "Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the corners of your beard." There are a few hundred others also.

The 10 commands and instructs given by God to Moses for the Sons of Israel developed over 1600 years into 614 Levitical Laws by the time the Incarnate Christ came to earth to seek and save.
Thank God that Jesus came to fulfill the prophet and the Law. The biblical narrative describes, in story after story, how God's dispensation of human governance was designed to not only reduce human coveting and immorality but primarily to point the Sons of Israel to the point of repentance and worship of the One True God who delivered them out of Egypt.

Judges, kings, and prophets would not fare any better than the Law in that regard.

Blessings,
Mark

"A graven image is an idol—an object or image, such as a statue, that is worshiped as the representation of a deity or god. The word graven means “carved” or “sculpted.” Graven image refers to some kind of object or image that has been made to represent a god."

It's fine until you start worshipping them or using them for worship.

So the lesson.....be careful who does your taxidermy, if it's too good you might end up working it. grin

This is about who you worship, in the book of Matthew quoting Jesus words. ( No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other, Ye can not serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24 ) end quote.

Jesus simplified this for us with two commandments.
Mathew 22: 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart , and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.39 and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the Prophets.

Foxkidd when Jesus said these things he was preparing to be hung on a tree ( crucified) . He was preparing to fulfill the Law and fulfill the prophesies of the prophets. When he would be risen from the dead 3 days after he was crucified. Just before Jesus died he said it is finished.
