Doc, thankyou so much for your prompt response to my question. I feel blessed to have found this great resource on the net. Do you or others, know of any other resources on understanding Idolatory for 'western' Christians? Thanks, Susanna | ||||||

Dear Susanna, Welcome to the forum! When you want to talk to Doc in reply, make sure to choose note my dear... I was thinking about what you are saying in your original post and see a coulpe of things I would like to share. There is Exodus 20:4 which says not to make an idol, but what I was seeing was the things God was saying not to worship by way of making an idol; what is in heaven, what is in the water, what is on the earth. what is in the heaven would inlude the universe as well as the angels, in the water would be all the creatures there, on earth though got me to thinking. How about all things that you could find on the earth, not just creatures and people, but social and intellectual things and the arts. While I am sure God meant created things it got to thinking, then I went to Romans. Romans 1:21,22 ; it says that they knew God but did not honor Him as God or give thanks- translation they exalated something anything above above God, that could be intellecuality, art, music, philosophy anything, career, car, house, whatever objects of affection people may have. Then there is that as a result they became futile in their speculations - they began to become fools and their heart became dark without the light of God in it. In their quest to worship whatever is not God they think they are being very wise and they become fools. I tried googleing idolatry but didn't get much. God Bless Tamara |
