Subject: What is considered an Idol |
Bible Note: AO Brother slow your role here for a second. I can appreciate your heart. Anything that will take our priority and focus off of God is dead wrong. God is specific and clear about what constitutes an idol and what constitutes idolitry. In Matthew 23 Jesus calls the pharisees to task for there hypocrisy. He says in vs 15 that those they convert that they make them twice as much a son of hell as they are. In vs 23 Jesus says that they ignore the weightier matters of the law, justice,mercy,and faithfulness. Go ahead and throw love in along with that. These guys themselves were idolitros they went after attention for themseves not God. The wearing of a cross or a fish does not nescessarily constitute idoloitry. Check this out,During the Roman persecution beleivers would use the sign of the fish to identify each other. Brother I want to encourage you To check out Romans chapter 14. Paul addresses things that were disputable matters of that time,Ultimatly it's about our relationship with God.Gods Word is clear on how we should be living and what our priorities must be.
