Down the page further there are a few Bible verses of which there are many, dealing with idols. Read through them one, two, three, or all of them however many you'd like to read. Talking about idols yesterday we're continuing today. I think it's important that we realize that while many, many people do NOT worship at the various temples they had way back in the day-
Egyptian temples
Greek temples
Roman temples
Egyptian- Deities- Amun, Amunet, Anubis, Anuket - These are just four of many of their false gods- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_religion
Greek- Deities - Apollo, Area, Artemis, Athena, Demeter - These are just five of many of their false gods- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures
Roman - Deities- Adranus, Consus, Janus, Saturn- These are just four of many of their false gods- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Roman_gods
Today there has been a huge rise in paganism. Look it up-here's one link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1328968/Pagans-march--harmless-eccentrics-dangerous-cult.html
So to say that the worship of idols, of false gods is dead would be wrong, very wrong.
So whether or not a person is worshipping the ancient gods of Biblical times old or new, or whether they are worshipping ANYTHING other than the ONE true God they are in danger of worshipping an idol.
Read on--
Lev 19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
Lev 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Lev 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
Deu 29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
1Sa 31:9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
1Ki 21:26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
2Ki 17:12 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
2Ki 21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols
2Ki 23:24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
1Ch 16:25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
1Ch 16:26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
2Ch 24:18 And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
Psa 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Psa 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Isa 2:7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
Isa 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
Isa 2:9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man
Isa 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
Eze 14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols
1Th 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
*******
We need to turn from any idols, even SELF worship, and turn towards God.
We need to KEEP from idols whatever they may be.
We need to stop patting ourselves on the back at how wonderful we are in all we do as we worship NOTHING, and realize that worshipping nothing is a form of worshipping self, believing self is the only thing is not believing in God.
We are told to keep from idols, and we must do just that. Keep ourselves from idols.
1Jn 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
May God help us to comprehend what we need to in all that He says, may the Holy Spirit open our hearts and minds, our spirits to His TRUTH in everything! Help us Lord, while there may not be mass worshipping of gods of old, there is worship in many churches, many temples today of gods that try to stand in YOUR place, pretending to be You and many fall for these false gods disguised as You, this is just as dangerous if not more so, as worshipping false gods from the ancient ages.
How do you know if you are worshipping a disguised god pretending to be the real God, by learning and following ALL His truth from His word, through the spirit.
All by His grace, His love, more on this tomorrow.
In our Savior Jesus Christ always!
