Hmm, perhaps you have misunderstood the term "idolatory".
Idolatory in the bibles refers to the worshipping of false gods or
demonic statues.
When Jesus was alive, people could easily focused on his image and
his teachings. Now that he physically isnt here, it would be
difficult for followers to have an image to focus on. Ordinary
humans are easily distracted and thus need a godly image to focus
on. As such, what is wrong with praying to a staue of Jesus?
How is worshipping Jesus considered "limiting"? The bibles and the
gospels has never said it was wrong to worship an image or statue
of a God.
Perhaps, you need to correct yourself in the meaning of
"idolatory".
