Everything, anything that you put Above God is Idolatry.

I thought idolatry is a tree that grows money from it... -idolatry- "a dollar tree". After all Banks do have branches right? I wonder if shopping at Dollar Tree is idolatry? 🤔😂

A big idol that people worship today is money, that's why we have billionaires and other people in the world that go to sleep

Should I completely give up the idea of doing anything? I have dealt with OCD in my life- I want to crochet, which I know it a good hobby. But I feel like any unnecessary thing to do in life is a complete waste of time. I’m ready to believe that if it’s true, but… is it true?

I once heard God speak to me and say "fornication leads to idolatry." I wanna know what he meant.

idolatry: anything you worship that is NOT related to LORD our God the creator.

Statues are idols. How many statues are there on planet earth? (Statue of liberty 🗽)

[fernandogallardo]

God is against serving or pledging allegiance to OBJECTS, to SYMBOLS, to IMAGES, made in the likeness of anything in heaven above or made in the likeness of anything in the earth below.
{ Exodus 20:3-5 }
&
{ Deuteronomy 4:15-19 }

Idol worship is through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem.

When the king of Babylon the great played the anthem at the sound of music the Babylonians bowed down to the ground and worshipped the statue of the golden image of the earth.

When the nations play the anthem at the sound of music the nations stand on their feet and worship the idols of the flag with a song.

The US is serving the image of the star spangle of heaven.

Israel is serving the image of the star remphan of heaven.

Mexico is serving the image of the eagle of the earth.

Japan is serving the image of the sun of heaven.

Canada is serving the image of the maple leaf of the tree of the earth.

The blind cannot see the idols of the nations high and lift it up on a flag pole, because the images are made of fabric and because of their UNBELIEF!

Idols worshipping >> consequences and hopefully learn the lessons >> Repentance leads to forgiveness …

God is like a jealous husband, He hates the unfaithful bride who fornicates (idol worshipping).

God does not punish but it is the consequences of our own wrong CHOICES. In a similar way that a young girl who decides to marry a thug despite the warning of her parents, the latter do not punish their daughter but it is the consequences of the mistreatments by the bad husband which is the punishment.
