Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers,
the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liarsthey will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the

Idolaters or Idolatry

i'-do-lon )
primarily "a phantom or likeness" (from eidos, "an appearance," lit., "that which is seen"),
or "an idea, fancy," denotes in the NT (a) "an idol," an image to represent a false god,"the
false god" Worshiped in an image
Acts 7:41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought
sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made. 42 But God turned away
from them and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars. This agrees
with what is written in the book of the prophets:
Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
and the star of your god Rephan,
the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.

1 Corinthians 12:2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you
were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
Revelation 9:20
20 The
rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of
their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and
woodidols that cannot see or hear or walk.
In Revelation 9:20 could John the baptist be talking about those who bow down to the
moon god known as Allah the god worshiped by 1.2 billion descendants of Ishmael the
son of Haggai, the servant girl, her children known as the Arabs are in slavery and there
do not even know it, slavery to idolatry amongst many other things but the worship of
Allah is one that requires Zekat, bring Allah the moon god or Baal if you will gold, silver,
bronze and your wealth, bowing down to images and worshipping such as there do in
Mecca, Arabia at the black stone, known as the Kaaba.
Which is the same symbol and stone that fell from heaven, the image of artermis whose
image God said do not worship nor bow down to.
Now understand brothers and sisters I do not say this out of hatred, nor to ridicule your
faith it is very sincere, very passionate and God admires that, I admire that but your
passion and sincerity is being placed in the wrong place, instead repent and let your faith
be focused with passion and sincerity to our Lord Jesus Christ, whom God has made heir
of all things, and in Him is the light, the way, the truth and the life and that no man
cometh to God without Him the Man-Christ Jesus Christ.

sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

1 Corinthians 8:4 4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that An idol is
nothing at all in the world and that There is no God but one.5 For even if there are
so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many gods and many
lords), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for
whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and
through whom we live.
7 But
not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that
when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their

conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we
do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be
careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the
weak.

For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an
idols temple, wont that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this
weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin
against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.13 Therefore, if
what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not
cause them to fall..
2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?For
we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
1 Thessalonians 1:9 9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They
tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

Yet my people have forgotten me;

world and that There is no God but one.
