Idolaters? Who, Us? - Garner Ted Armstrong - October 1976

Garner Ted Armstrong

If you were to page through the biblical prophecies of the Old Testament, you would see what would appear at first glance to be an excessive amount of copy about the sin of idolatry, or simply the worship of other gods. You might wonder how that could possibly apply to our modern space-age era. Worshiping grinning, leering idols is definitely not a major problem in the "enlightened" Western Christian-professing world of the Judaeo-Christian ethic. However, the biblical definition of idolatry is nowhere near so constrained or narrow as that. It includes much more than a mere stone sculpture of some god-form. Idolatry involves anything (including any philosophic concept) that comes between you and the true God. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
