IDOLATRY IS A GREAT SIN

According to the Bible, no one should be worshipped except Jehovah God. Whoever worships anyone else worships an idol, something that is not God, since God is unique and therefore deserves this.

Idolatry, idolatry (Greek-Latin idololatria): the veneration of a creature as a god, a sin against the first commandment and the virtue of →religion. In the strict sense, the deification of inanimate objects (e.g. celestial bodies, totems), animals, people (e.g. ancestors, leaders, etc.) or ancestors.


It is permissible to worship Jesus, but is it possible to worship Jesus as God?


Some important biblical facts about Jesus


The Gospels faithfully present the earthly part of Jesus' life story. His earthly ministry was wonderful, but the majority of his generation did not accept him, and although his career ended in death, God resurrected him on the third day, restoring him to the glorious spirit life he had before his earthly birth (Acts 2:22-36; John 17:1-5). Today, by God’s grace, our Savior, Jesus Christ, is a glorious spirit being in God’s heavenly kingdom. He is the most important person in the universe after Jehovah God, for his heavenly Father has made him Lord over all and has given him all authority in heaven and on earth to restore divine order and harmony to the universe. (Matthew 28:18) As heavenly High Priest (Hebrews 8:1), he is the only Mediator between God and humans. (1 Timothy 2:5) Therefore, it is vital that we honor Jesus Christ as our heavenly Father, God, expects us to do, by listening to and obeying his teachings. (John 3:31-36)

However, we must be very careful not to make him into a god, for there is no other God but Jehovah our Father. Our Lord Jesus did not teach that he was Jehovah God Almighty, nor that he was equal to God, for he said: “You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Nor did he teach that he was a second God, for he said: “This means eternal life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) The phrase "the only true God" expresses supreme authority, supreme dignity, and this is exercised only by the Father forever. Jesus is not God, because then there would be two, and the Bible speaks of only one.

And he did not teach us to worship and pray to him, for he said: Then Jesus said to him, "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (Matthew 4:10) - ''But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.'' (Matthew 6:6,9)


Summary


JESUS ​​IS NOT GOD. JESUS ​​NEVER WAS GOD. JESUS ​​NEVER WILL BE GOD. BECAUSE THE ONLY GOD IS JEHOVAH AND JEHOVAH GOD IS JESUS' HEAVENLY FATHER. THEREFORE JESUS ​​CANNOT BE WORSHIPPED AS GOD!

DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF MARY! DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF ANY SAINTS! DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF THE POPE! DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF THE WATCHTOWER. DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF THE GOVERNING BODY. DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OF ANYONE! NOT EVEN FROM JESUS!

Warning

1 Corinthians 6:9. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

10. nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him”

  Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him ”   In the work of repositioning the Christian theology according to the classic reading of the Bible, we must compare manuscripts and evaluating playback variants which sometimes occur in certain places (verses). This is a vital duty to ensure that we are on the path followed by the early classic Christians. The Epistle to Hebrews chapter 1 contains some elements that need to be discussed carefully: We refer to a phrase from the Septuagint - a quote in verse 6 (“All the angels of God worship him”) - which in the ancient Hebrew text (the Masoretic text) does not exist at all. There is neither in the Samaritan text (Pentateuch) nor in certain versions (revisions) of the Septuagint. We will not find this phrase in the Old Testament as translated by many good and well known authors. How we make our decisions? How do we will interpret the missing text? A learned textual critic wrote that in a cave n...

Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?

  Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?   It is true that the Bible speaks about God, the heavenly Father and Creator of all, about his Son and about His spirit, the holy spirit, however, if we read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we find the testimony that there is only One true God, the Father only. Here are some examples: Exodus 20:1. And God spoke all these words: 2.“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3.“You shall have no other gods before a me.” Matthew 4:10: "Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the LORD (YHWH) your God, and serve him only. (quote from the Old Testament) We see this from Exodus 20 and John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." 1Corinthians 8:5-6: “For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many ...

Chapter 10 THE APOSTLES' CREED - Reconstruction according to the oldest known versions

  Chapter 10 THE APOSTLES' CREED - Reconstruction according to the oldest known versions   The so called APOSTLES' CREED was written in Greek language (later translated in Latin), around 135 AD - possible in Rome - as a synthesis of what the apostles believed, to oppose the virulent pseudo-christian Gnostic sects. The Apostles’ Creed is the earliest known biblical Christian creed. The idea of God as a trinity, Christ’s descending in hell, the immediate after-death judgement and the endless torment of the sinners is not hinted. In Italy and Gaul, in the fifth century, the phrase “ he descended into hell ” came into the creed.    In Latin Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem  (pantokratora - Hippolytus and Marcellus), creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Iesum Christum, Fílium eius únicum, Dóminum nostrum, qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus et sepúltus, (descéndit...
