Let's look at two paintings.

The first painting is called "The Apotheosis of Washington" and is featured on the ceiling of the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. It features George Washington surrounded by Greco-Roman gods like Neptune, Vulcan, and Mercury. Washington is seated on a throne, among the clouds, flanked by angels, with a rainbow under his feet. He is sitting where God should be sitting.

The word "Apotheosis" refers to the idea that the man George Washington became a god. By Biblical standards, this painting of a man becoming a god is idolatrous and heretical. It's no different from the Pharaohs of Egypt or the Caesars of Rome, who were believed to be men who had become gods.

The second painting is "The Crucifixion of Christ" by Jacopo Tintoretto. In this painting of God becoming a man, Jesus is flanked by criminals and those who would mock Him. Under his feet are the Roman soldiers responsible for making sure that He is dead, as well as His mother Mary, who stands by helplessly.

These two paintings provide a contrast between man-made religion which seeks to deify and glorify human power and Biblical Christianity, in which God humbled Himself, becoming a human being, in order to live as we live and die on our behalf. One is a picture of human ambition and power, the other is a picture of the humility of God, voluntarily embracing limitations, weakness, and suffering. One painting is a heresy, and the other is orthodox, historical Christianity.
