Worship of False Gods

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. …

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

…be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”

You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?
