@SW-User religion is confusing sometimes

@SW-User it is, yes but it also depends on how you look at it. You're free to choose your own or not choose at all.

That is actually a really good question. Not sure if I can give it the response it deserves as I know in my head what I feel but getting the words out isn't so easy.
I am of the belief that those that have to shout about it all the time are simply just convincing their own mind although they will say they are "doing the Lords work". That is idolatry because they are worshiping their own mind and not seeking out God.

@curiosi Interesting. So,someone whose only purpose in life is to serve God is actually going against the very nature of God as per idolatry? So many questions.

@SW-User Thing is it goes deeper than that. Many think they just have to shout about God and that is their purpose. I don't believe it is. I believe that our purpose is to love and leave the rest up to God. That means love those that don't believe rather than chastise them.

@SW-User God is not an idol. Period.
SW-User

@SW-User Jesus is Jehovah’s most precious Son.

@SW-User not really, it's simple, just think creatively with GREEN DREAMS, simple right?
SW-User
@checkoutanytime green dreams ?

@SW-User the testament has all answers, in the beginning the creator created, the creator is a jealous creator, for only 100 years have we given 1st born sons to provocative women, since W.Wilson and unproven science took over humanity. Are you woke or do you wake up eachday?

The Ten Commandments give instruction on what idolatry is.
Have you read Exodus in the Holy Bible?

The Bible defines idolatry in the following verses and its consequences.
Exodus 20:4-6
[quote]You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.[/quote]

yes

Even if you don't make any statues or drawings/images of god, that you create images of him in your mind to worship is already idolatry.

That's like asking if fasting is going to satisfy your hunger
