Then I went with Michael to Ramle where I preached about Idols:
Three first commandments
I am the Lord Your God You shall have no other
You shall make no idols
You shall not take the Name of the Lord in vain
Why so much idolatry?
Why so many people deceived by idols?

Idolatry slanders God’s

unworthy or erroneous views of God

قاصرين كنا مستعبدين تحت اركان العالم.

ارسل الله ابنه مولودا من امرأة مولودا تحت الناموس

Worshipping
God in the wrong way – Jesus said the Father seeks those who will worship in
Spirit and in truth. Sometimes we get this the Spirit but not truth.. We enjoy
the emotions and power which we should but we forget the truth to where our
worship doesn’t change us.
B.
Made an image of God. It
wasn’t even another god it was a
supposed image of God
Worship isn’t based on emotion but
has to be based on truth –
Idolatry is worshipping any image
Isaiah 47 – he makes a fire with
the wood, eats and is full. With the rest makes an idol and bows to it
Don’t replace image for reality
2 Cor. 4:4
انجيل مجد المسيح

Colossian 1:15

Worship of angels
Worship of devils
But I say, that
the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to
God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Worship of dead mean
Psalm 106:28
Eph. 5:5
No covetous man who is an idolater
Money 1 Tim 6
Get money between you and God and you can’t see Him anymore

They can’t

Bring guilt
that activate God’s vengeance
Pride makes a god of self,
covetousness makes a god of money, sensuality makes a god of the belly;
whatever is esteemed or loved, feared or served, delighted in or depended on,
more than God, that (whatever it is) we do in effect make a god of
