If Christ, or any member of the Godhead, is being depicted by an image, then yes it would be a 2CV and/or a 3cv directly.If a church put on a play where people acted out a Biblical account, would that be making a graven image? Now if it was photographed or videoed (say your children were acting in it), would that be making a graven image?
This would not be a 2CV according to the puritan and reformed understanding, unless of course one is worshipping such earthly images of creatures such as an eagle. For Godhead images, regardless if one is “worshipping” them or not, they are violations of the moral law (again see video linked).Even photographing an eagle taking flight could be considered making a graven image of what is above the earth. If a man takes a photo of the fish he caught, that could be a graven image of what is under the earth.
