[quote:Anonymous Coward 769859:MV84NzkzNzdfMTM2MDQ4NjlfMTkzNTg1RjY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 769794] Wait a second. So you claim Christians can idolize pictures of Jesus because non-Christians can idolize pictures of famous people? No The scripture is very clear...Isaiah 42 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and [b]my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [/b] But do you understand, Lotus, that the 'graven images' reference also applies to such things as crop circles, Buddhism, palmistry, etc....all of which you espouse? In fact...all of the New Age systems that you incorporate into your teaching. ? Not only that, Lens Flare, but Lotus claims to be the Messiah setting herself above the only begotten Son of God. But what she's secretly trying to do is set herself up as a right-wing anti-Islamic leader in Britain by invoking biblical quotations of context to protray herself as a prophet. She has an agenda here and it's not good. [/quote] Well said.. ..and I think she knows Catholicism is a Babylon/Cabalism/Judaic hybrid..from it's skullcaps and dagon hats to it's robed priests and goddess worship. (Hinduism and it's New Age trappings is the religion of Babylon carried to the east.) Graven images, as ugly as that is, is only a small part of the historical damage this false front religion has done through the centuries. .This is all the about the Cabala..the doctrine of the Pharisees that made God Himself refer to them as "snakes and vipers."

Original Message
There is no one section that clearly defines idolatry; rather there are a number of commandments on this subject spread through the books of the Hebrew Bible, some of which were written in different historical eras, in response to different issues. Taking these verses together, idolatry in the Hebrew Bible is defined as either:
the worship of idols (or images)
the worship of polytheistic gods by use of idols (or images)
the worship of animals or people
the use of idols in the worship of God.
