RC, Muslims, Hindus and others. Idols is abomination to God.
[Copy link]

In every nation of the world, people worship and serve idols. The Bible declares such things are an abomination to the Lord. There is a curse on all who practice idolatry梩hose that make, possess, believe in, serve, or worship graven images or idols. An idol can be anything that comes before Almighty God. Anything that is more important to a person or cherished more than God is an idol. Muslims will indirectly bowing to an object, it consider abomination to true God.
Worst, muslims will touched, kissed and etc the black stone, going around and around several times, shaving hair which similar pagan ritual. Even hindus will go around and around several times in temple and circle several time the 9 planets knows as sani.
Same goes to peoples consult feng shui nonsense to seek wealth and etc. It all considers seeking sorcerers. Why must we seek feng shui when we can directly ask God for blessing? Does Jews who very successful nations seek feng shui rubbished??? no, yet they are number 1 in the world contributing world economy yet the China copy everything from them and made a duplicate but they will come so called stories that they are successful because believed feng shui. make sense?? only feng shui master will become rich by selling their feng shui the so called wealth and etc
For Muslims, true God made very clear as follows:
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Exodus 23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
The words any likeness is powerful for us to understand that we should not bow nor makes any kind similar to kaba which made of block of stone or bow to them.
Let see how true God view Idols worshippers:
HOW DOES GOD FEEL ABOUT IDOLS?

How He Feels In the New Law That We are Currently Under (Hebrews 1:1-2 and Hebrews 9:15-17)
Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

1Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

19.Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Dan 5:23-BUT HAST LIFTED UP THYSELF AGAINST THE LORD OF HEAVEN; AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT THE VESSELS OF HIS HOUSE BEFORE THEE, AND THOU, AND THY LORDS, THY WIVES, AND THY CONCUBINES, HAVE DRUNK WINE IN THEM; AND THOU HAST PRAISED THE GODS OF SILVER, AND GOLD, OF BRASS, IRON, WOOD, AND STONE, WHICH SEE NOT, NOR HEAR, NOR KNOW: AND THE GOD IN WHOSE HAND THY BREATH IS, AND WHOSE ARE ALL THY WAYS, HAST THOU NOT GLORIFIED.
Hab 2:18,19-WHAT PROFITETH THE GRAVEN IMAGE THAT THE MAKER THEREOF HATH GRAVEN IT; THE MOLTEN IMAGE, AND A TEACHER OF LIES, THAT THE MAKER OF HIS WORK TRUSTETH THEREIN, TO MAKE DUMB IDOLS?
19-WOE UNTO HIM THAT SAITH TO THE WOOD, AWAKE; TO THE DUMB STONE, ARISE, IT SHALL TEACH! BEHOLD, IT IS LAID OVER WITH GOLD AND SILVER, AND THERE IS NO BREATH AT ALL IN THE MIDST OF IT.

HOW UTTERLY STUPID IT IS TO TAKE A MATERIAL SUCH AS WOOD, WHICH YOU MAY USE TO COOK WITH OR HEAT YOUR HOUSE WITH, AND MAKE AN IDOL FROM IT, AND THEN PRAY TO IT AND SAY, "YOU ARE MY GOD!"

Isa 44:13-THE CARPENTER STRETCHETH OUT HIS RULE (OR LINE); HE MARKETH IT OUT WITH A LINE (OR MARKER); HE FITTETH IT (OR ROUGHS IT OUT) WITH PLANES (OR CHISELS), AND HE MARKETH IT OUT WITH THE COMPASS, AND MAKETH IT AFTER THE FIGURE (OR SHAPE) OF A MAN, ACCORDING TO THE BEAUTY OF A MAN; THAT IT MAY REMAIN IN THE HOUSE (OR IN A SHRINE).
Isa 44:14-HE HEWETH (OR CUTS) HIM DOWN CEDARS, AND TAKETH THE CYPRESS AND THE OAK, WHICH HE STRENGTHENETH FOR HIMSELF AMONG THE TREES OF THE FOREST: HE PLANTETH AN ASH (OR PINE), AND THE RAIN DOTH NOURISH IT.

Isa 44:16-HE BURNETH PART THEREOF (OF THE WOOD) IN THE FIRE; WITH PART THEREOF HE EATETH FLESH (OR PREPARES A MEAL); HE ROASTETH ROAST (OR HIS MEAL), AND IS SATISFIED: YEA, HE WARMETH HIMSELF, AND SAITH, AHA, I AM WARM, I HAVE SEEN THE FIRE:
Isa 44:17-AND THE RESIDUE (OR FROM THE REST) THEREOF HE MAKETH A GOD, EVEN HIS GRAVEN IMAGE (OR IDOL): HE FALLETH (OR BOWS) DOWN UNTO IT, AND WORSHIPPETH IT, AND PRAYETH UNTO IT, AND SAITH, DELIVER ME (OR SAVE ME); FOR THOU ART MY GOD.
Isa 44:18-THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN NOR UNDERSTOOD (THEY KNOW NOTHING, THEY UNDERSTAND NOTHING): FOR HE HATH SHUT THEIR EYES, THAT THEY CANNOT SEE; AND THEIR HEARTS, (OR MINDS) (SO) THAT THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND.
Isa 44:19-AND NONE CONSIDERETH IN HIS HEART (OR NO ONE STOPS TO THINK), NEITHER IS THERE KNOWLEDGE NOR UNDERSTANDING TO SAY, I HAVE BURNED PART OF IT IN THE FIRE (FOR FUEL); YEA, ALSO I HAVE BAKED BREAD UPON THE (OR ITS) COALS THEREOF; I HAVE ROASTED FLESH (OR MEAT), AND EATEN IT: AND SHALL I MAKE THE RESIDUE THEREOF (OR WHAT IS LEFT) AN ABOMINATION (OR SHALL I MAKE A DETESTABLE THING FROM WHAT IS LEFT-NIV)? SHALL I FALL DOWN TO THE STOCK OF A TREE (or A BLOCK OF WOOD)?
Isa 44:20-HE FEEDETH ON ASHES: A DECEIVED HEART HATH TURNED HIM ASIDE (OR MISLEADS HIM), THAT HE CANNOT DELIVER HIS SOUL, NOR SAY, IS THERE NOT A LIE IN MY RIGHT HAND (OR HE FEEDS ON ASHES, A DELUDED HEART MISLEADS HIM; HE CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF, OR SAY, "IS NOT THIS THING IN MY RIGHT HAND A LIE?"-NIV).
Isa 46:6-THEY LAVISH GOLD OUT OF THE BAG, AND WEIGH SILVER IN THE BALANCE, AND HIRE A GOLDSMITH; AND HE MAKETH IT A GOD: THEY FALL DOWN, YEA, THEY WORSHIP.

idols in religious context are things or feelings or believe or followings that rivals that of god. examples are:
- statues or objects
- that the statue or objects or some other person/being have powers that can rival or equal that of god.
- that one believe can provode assistance to one beside god eg old grave, old coins etc
- way of life for eg following a set of rules that runs against wha the book or god says for example bible says something about punishing those who breach sabbath but laws says ok.
my thoughts..please contribute. |

as far as my faith (twoness ) concern we believed Jesus is God. we do not make idols out of HIM like pics, stone or whatever. we do not bow directly or indirectly to an object and chant God is one.
muslims do idolized the black stone until kissing & touching it and bowing indirectly to it. dont forget pagans will circle their place of worshipped several times.
ask yourself, did ur so called prophet muhammad give an explanation why must circle the kaba?? for what reason? why must build black stone or touched or kiss it?? all this can trace back during pagan arabs used to performs such ritual. muhammad afraid that if he changes the pagan ritual performs by arab pagans, muhammad will lose and muhammad let them continued to their pagan ritual.
ask yours why pagan ritual like shaving hair??
so, u muslims are still with those old pagan ritual but fashion up with allah is one but indirectly bowing to an object.

Pi lah T8. You already mixed up your God with human traits and run away from the concept of monotheism. The One and Only. Not two, nor three. The only true christian to my understanding is the Unitarian Christian. |

Okaylah T8, that is your understanding, SOLELY yours.( Bad mouthing it is about Unitarian) but not others.
I guess Islam is too complicated for you. So leave it be, no need to say more of what you cant understand.
