When I read these verses in the Bible it leads me to believe that the prophets and apostles were talking about idol worshiping. Lets think about who their audiences are. They are preaching to pagans, people who worship the engraven image (gold, silver, and stone images) These people were woshipping objects made by their own hands and not God. Because God does not dwell in such objects, neither is he made of them. The prophets are trying to steer the pagans away from idol worship. the book of Isiah and Ezekial are great examples of this teaching of the prophets. therefore, i take the above quoted verses to mean just that.. don't worship idols.
