"What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?" - Habakkuk 2:18

"As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one." - 1 Corinthians 8:4

IDOLS – WHAT ARE THEY?

The English dictionary defines idols as; "a graven image or REPRESENTATION of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or believed to convey spiritual power."
In the above definition we can see that idols are not only sculptured images or graphic representations but ANYTHING or ANYONE that is held in UNUSUALLY high esteem – and is often regarded as the perfect reference, the final answer to every thought, idea or concept.
There are FOUR types of idols and FOUR ways humans are affected by them.

1. Idols in the HAND — idols in the hand are those things we have that have effectively taken the place of God in our lives. They include; ungodly hobbies, friends and associates, bad habits, jobs, phones, clothes, TV shows etc.
Idols in the hand are WHAT YOU HAVE OR DO. Mark 10:21.

2. Idols in the HEAD — idols in the head are false beliefs and erroneous doctrines, personal philosophies, ideas and opinions etc. Idols in the head are WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW.
2 Corinthians 10:5.

3. Idols in the HEART — idols in the heart can be our achievements, pride, titles, awards, influence, attitude, talents or gifts. Idols in your heart is WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE. Ezekiel 14:4.

4. Idols in the HOUSE — the idols in your house are those dedications done outside the church of Christ, they can be your traditions and cultures, family shrines or altars, demonic community customs and practises, etc. The idols in your house is WHERE YOU COME FROM. Ezekiel 8:10, Judges 6:25.

These are four ways we allow idols to exist in our lives.

The Bible says "LITTLE CHILDREN, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:21." You see, little children can be taken in idolatry, either through video games, social media or partying.
The Bible also admonishes ... "Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry." 1 Corinthians 10:14. Idolatry can be abandoned.
Ungodly habits or hobbies can be stopped.

Household idols, demonic customs and traditions can be destroyed.
Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

All it takes to break the power of idols in our lives is determination, repentance, the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Word of God and faith.

Shalom.

Was Mary not the mother of Christ?

You don't know the meaning of orisha.
Orisha mean ori (head], sha (picked, choosen).
Persons that are special than others.
Wole soyinka is orisha.

juman:
Who is the god of Jupiter?

Who is the god of Venus?

Who is the god of other celestial bodies?

TenQ:
Perfectly said: Even Atheists have idols that take the place of God in their hearts.
Remain blessed!

womenareapezz:
the God say you should worship Mary!
Mary was just an ordinary servant just like the rest of us which God use to bring out his son.
So why worship Mary when she herself worship Jesus?

Kingsley10000:
Mary is just like rest of us? Why did God choose any Mary among millions of women?
If you believe that Mary is the mother of Jesus that means they share 100% of DNA.
Even Jesus respects Mary more than any human in the bible

womenareapezz:
oga you do DNA test to confirm?

God is not a respecter of man! Oga the Bible you are reading is different from the one Im reading!

Can you should me a verse Jesus acclaim that he respects Mary more than any humans in the Bible.

I know of a passage were Jesus's brother was telling him that his mother was calling him, what did Jesus said?
"Who is my mother? Anyone who does the work of God will be called my family"
That passage was aim at you idol worshipers in camouflage of Christian

sonmvayina:
A group that disobeys the commandments of God or the one that upholds it...

Your problem is that you are obsessed with being in a cult...a cult that places it's laws and doctrines above the laws of God. ..you have failed already.

Ayomivic:
Op is wrong you are wrong also.

Op is wrong because God wasn't talking about Idol in dictionary perspective but on his own perspective. What God means by Idol according to the scripture is anything you worship as God apart of him or anything you used to represent that thing you worship as God.

On why you are wrong on what you said . If Jesus was not say he is God in direct word that you understand. He said it indirectly when he said "I and my father are one,* I am in my father and my father is in me"

Apart of what Jesus said what did other prophets said about Jesus? Isaiah 9:6 Called Jesus Mighty God" Daniel 7:9-13 precisely verse 13 Said He was given power and authority to be worship by all races and languages. A person in control big world is called God. If you don't know , I am telling you that title given to the one in control of world and heaven is God . If Jesus was now given power to control the world and heaven according to scripture that was even revealed before him, Jesus is what?

Even in revelation it was lamb and the one on throne that was worshied together as one in heaven.

Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb appeared to have been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that have been sent through the whole earth. 7 The Lamb went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne. 8 As he did so, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God's people. 9 They sang a new song

What are you now saying that Jesus is not God.?

Because you don't believe doesn't means it is not true

Templee333:
dont forget that the images of SOPHIA AND CALEB are idols

Kingsley10000:
The bible passage you quoted was wrong,first Jesus doesn't have any biological brother(s). Moreover,people told Jesus that his brothers were looking for him not his "mother".
The first miracle Jesus performed was influenced by his Mother(Mary) and the last word Jesus said before his death to us is "Mother behold your child,child behold your mother"
Do your research before making unfounded claims

sonmvayina:
Ok...
Thank you.

Crystalom5:
Let everyone worship as they choose. Let everyone serve the gods they want.


No one God has proven himself to the world to be the real one.

All gods are real to their followers and to those followers, their God created the universe and everything in it.

So, live and let others live. Worship and let others worship their gods.

Peace

MaxInDHouse:
So Tom and Jerry cartoon are also idols shey?

Aemmyjah:
That guy does not even have sense
All apostates don't have sense.
Premium churchgoers are pitiable, atheists have no sense but apostates are senselessly pitiable.
Even if my bible is an idol na
Facebook too is an idol

As if we bow down to them, we use them to teach moral stories

Liars say we worship governing body
They say we worship our website
We worship Caleb and Sophia
We worship the watchtower and awake magazine
We worship the Watchtower organization

They are tormented cos their governing body and even their best religious and academic lecturers don't even come close
They are dying cos our website is known to millions including nonwitnesses
They have no children videos
They are dying that our magazines are the most distributed and translated in the world
They are dying that no other organization can bring about peace and unity and self sacrifice, spiritual, moral and mental cleanliness among her members

Same Temple333 that is asking questions about God and why there's wickedness
Same guy that says he wants to help me is waiting for his local branch to be established in Nigeria on Facebook so they can wail and cry in pain together and gnash teeth

For us, we are eating to satisfaction, they're dying of hunger
We are drinking
We are rejoicing at JEHOVAH'S wonderful works and teachings and his help
They have none

Good morning brother Max

Maximus692:
The problem with none JWs is how they failed to differentiate between:
WORSHIP and OBEISANCE
Of course we do obeisance to Jesus and we are submissive to Governing Body, District overseers, Circuit overseers, elders and ministerial servants based on their office of oversight but our worship goes to only one person JEHOVAH!

Most translators rendered the word obeisance as worship so where submissiveness comes in they turned it to worship meaning instead of submission to Jesus, Apostles and elders in the congregation they try to separate Jesus for WORSHIP whereas all we need to do is obey Jesus since we know he's always on Jehovah's side, the Apostles as they're always Jesus' side, Circuit overseers like Paul as he's always on the side of the Apostles.

So when they see that we are orderly they don't know the secret hence they call us a CULT group! Matthew 10:25
