As a Christian I need to mention what the Bible brings about idolatry, and so, we need to understand the meaning of this word.
Idolatry can be defined as "worship or reverence given to any created object or person." It actually takes many forms, not just the "praying to statues" that many people think of when they hear the word "idolatry." Although, statues and religious images are the most common and obvious examples, there are some other forms of idolatry as well as; fetishism; the worship of nature and its power, and heroes worship.
The Bible is the word of Lord, and as Christians we should follow, obey and worship only one, God. Listen to Him:
Leviticus 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.
Exodus 20:4
You shall not have other gods besides me.
You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;
you shall not bow down before them or worship them.
You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;
you shall not bow down before them or worship them.
Deuteronomy 27:15
“‘Cursed be the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an abomination to the Lord, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’
In the name of Jesus I ask you my Lord, give us knowledge to understand your HOLY WORD through your HOLY SPIRIT. Amen
