[quote:im4GOD:MV84NzkzNzdfMTM2MDUxMTNfMUNDQTZDNQ==] Well me being Catholic (Soon) don't pray to a crucifix we also don't wear a crucifix The only reason that we have the crucifix is a constant reminder of what our saviour JESUS did for all humanity,giving his life for our sins is wonderful and I love him why not sit in on a catholic mass a few times and make sure of what you see before slamming anothers religion LOTUS [/quote]
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.
