The use of Idols by the people who think they are following the God of Israel but will not hear His Voice to stop their use of them.
The use of IDOLS is the ONE traditional sin that the people who are being taught to walk in the righteousness the God of Israel bring with them from their former Churches that practised IDOLATRY. The God of Israel tried for 1300 years to get this ONE Traditional Sin that the Israelites brought with them out of Egypt, out of them.
They refused to hear the words of Christ's Covenant He made with them, to stop their Idolatry worship. The people, because of the hardness of their hearts, kept their Egypt's Sun Idols to worship the God of Israel with. Idols are only used in Religions worshipping other gods than the God of Israel.
Because most Israelites chose to continue in their Idolatry, the God of Israel cut the Nation of Israel off from Him by destroying His Holy Temple along with the carnal people of Israel. They had not received the WORDS of their Messiah, Jesus Christ (Yashua) into their hearts, to worship Him and Him only.
All carnal Israelites perished in AD 70, because they would not hear and follow the words of their God who had came down from heaven to lead His people out of the sin of Idolatry. His destruction follows them and will follow all them that continue to practices it.
(Exo 20:3-7 KJV) "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. {4} Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: {5} Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; {6} And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. {7} Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
All the Idols pictured below are of Idols being used in the Roman Catholic Church, the mother Church of all Protestant Sunday Churches. Still, to this day, it is the ONE MAJOR SIN, that Christ cannot get out of the people who call themselves by His Name, Christians. They have also harden their HEARTS so that they will not HEAR Him and give up the use of their Idols also. Only Pagan Religions use Idols. For one to use them is to reject Christs teachings not to use them. Christ gave us His Holy Bible to lead all mankind out of their Idolatry, but if man will not hear Him, He cannot lead man out of it as mankind will not follow Him.
Only those who keep Christ's Ten Commandment Covenant have come all the way out of Idol worship. They who have come all the WAY out have put on Christ's RIGHTEOUSNESS.
