think of idolatry...what do you think of?people worshiping other gods?bowing to a gold statue?well,believe it or not,that's not what all idolatry is like...
theres more to the story....
- the first type of idolatry is what i just mentioned....worshiping other gods...OR...people.this is where Satan comes in....many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many(i don't know when to stop)many,many,many,many,Christians worship idols...i don't wanna pock fun at churches and denominations so I'm not going to tell you which denomination groups do this,but most Christians pray to saints.others pray to marry,mother of Jesus....but i must warn you,they are wrong.a prayer is not just a thing that you get on your knees and pray,but it is also a type of worship. many Christians pray to saints,but that's also worshiping that saint.God made it clear like a million times in the bible that you should worship the Lord God Almighty alone.look at revelation 22:8-9; ---"....i fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.9)then saith he unto me,see thou do it not :for i am thy fellow servent,and of thy bretheren the prophets,and of them which keep sayings of this book:WORSHIP GOD."you see,john fell at the feet of an angel...and the angel rebuked him and commanded to worship God!!!!!!!!! I have known allot of people that pray to angels...they don't know that thy are not worshiping God but an angel...which is only a messenger of God.
- the second type is like the most common type of idolatry...and it's right under your very nose.have you ever got a new ipod touch,your always on facebok,obsessed with tweeting,and you love those things so much that you would trade all you have to get the latest cell phone(that's why i got mine taken away)well,believe it or not,that is idolatry.when you get consumed in this world,and your always on face book(visit my face book,by the way)and you L-O-V-E it so much,that's idolatry....it's when you like something so much...that all of the sudden,you have replaced Jesus with a new cell phone....trust me,it's not worth it.I was at school the other day 'till I over heard a normal conversation...one girl was talking about clothes-then one of her friends asked,"how come all you care about is clothes"...her response was the most immature question I would ever hear..."what el's am i suppose to care about?"---WOW.'what els am i suppose to care about'-you probably know the answer to that-'Jesus christ',duhhhhh!that bloke,Jesus gave all he had...and she replaced him,God...Christ...Gods only son...for cloths...it seems like she chose Las Vegas rather then heaven...how about you?las Vegas or heaven?
