Doesn't matter whether you worship idols or not, an idol is an idol, a Christmas tree is an idol, a golden cross around somebody's neck with a depiction of Jesus hanging on it is an idol.


We can spiritualize any law, no doubt, but an idol is still an idol and having an idol in your house or around your neck is still an idol of your faith as it was an idol to everyone who ever had an idol of their faith.

That Golden calf they built, it wasn't the idol they worshipped, it was the invisible God sitting on that idol. Those people thought no different then, than they do today with idols.

I suppose that makes the Bible an idol, whether it's the Old or New Version.

I think the bible certainly is idolized quite rampantly. It is put in place of God himself to be revered by any number of Christian-ists.
