READ FULL ARTICLE HERE Throughout the Bible commandments and warnings against idolatry are the most repeated of all. There are more denunciations of idolatry than any other sin in the Bible.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image… you shall not bow down to then nor serve them.”
Exodus 20:4-6
“Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves moulded gods; I am the Lord your God.”
Leviticus 19:4
“Thus says the Lord God: repent and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For everyone… which sets up his idols in his heart… I the Lord will answer him by Myself.”
Ezekiel14:6-7
“The works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissention, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries and the like… those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21
The Apostle John beseeches us:
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”
1 John 5:21

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO MESSAGE HERE Modern Idols
There seems to be some understanding of how this Second Commandment still applies to us today, in that the popular vocabulary identifies “sports idols”, “Hollywood idols”, “sex idols” and musicians who are described as “idols”. There is also no doubt that people make idols of their favourite political party. The Soviet Union made a god of “The Party” and instituted idolatrous pilgrimages to Lenin’s tomb.
