Idolatry




Exodus 20 : 3-6, do not worship any God except Me. Do not make IDOLS that look like anything in the sky or on earth. Don't bow down and worship idols. Ia m the Lord you God, and I demand all your love. If you reject Me, I will punish your families for three or four generations. But if you love Me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations. (CEV)

They are useless,


and they can't do a thing.

Put in your mind that the Lord condemns idolatry,


(see Isaiah 57:3-13)
