Scripture Passages (24)

As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

For the devising of idols was the beginning of fornication, And the invention of them the corruption of life:

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

But the idol made with hands is accursed, itself and he that made it; Because his was the working, and the corruptible thing was named a god:

For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

The Moabite women invited the men to come and join in their sacrifices to their false gods. So the Israelites joined in worshiping these false gods—they ate the sacrifices and worshiped these gods. There the Israelites began worshiping the false god, Baal of Peor . And the Lord became very angry with them.

For the worship of those nameless idols Is a beginning and cause and end of every evil.

And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel .

They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?

Because they even accounted all the idols of the nations to be gods; Which have neither the use of eyes for seeing, Nor nostrils for drawing breath, Nor ears to hear, Nor fingers for handling, And their feet are helpless for walking.

Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
