Any man or woman who associates the creation with the creator is an idolater.
WHAT DOES THE SECOND COMMANDMENT SAY!?
There is no way that you can call yourself a Christian and then justify breaking the Commandments.
The cross is idolatry.
Portraits of Jesus are idolatry.
Worship or praying to Jesus/Mary or any other human being CREATED by God is idolatry.
There is no way around it.
There is no justification for it.
If you want to have idols then have idols but atleast have the integrity to admit that they are in fact an idol. When you pray to God there should NOT be any image in your mind. You should not be associating images with worship for ANY reason whatsoever.
You already stated: "We just feel connected to god (who is all we worship) through them." Those were YOUR words, not mine. You feel connected to God through the cross but the cross will not save you. Jesus' death will not save you.
ONLY THE WORD OF GOD will save you.
