Keep Yourself From IDOLS: What Is It About IDOLS And ICONS – The Relationship Between IDOLS And ICONS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe in\nlife, there’s the goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people\nor someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to\nbecome what you wants to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus. But\nto REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly to be above and equal to God, and\nsecondly to loose the essence of your own well being and WORTH, in order to\nBECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, ignorance and foolishness\nbut bondage, demonic and satanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why so, or such a fuss? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replace God with human’s and things; and some sects hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for self KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions in our worlds and Churches today as Bere\u00e4n Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity – Acts 17:10-12.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for these\ndeceptions in IDOLS and ICONS, many have given REVERED and BELIEVED as to what\nthey SAY or DO as the norms or more important to them. And this have influenced\nour worlds and Churches in many ways. It’s effect has led many to all forms of\nBELIEVE and bondages with little or no self WORTH anymore except what the\nadored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herein is a\nlikely knowhow to their likeness and representations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** An IDOL is\nusually from my previous post a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or\nPERSON, and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it\nDEPICTS – in power or and essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to god, but if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either ways you attributes an essence of praying to gods – which scripturally is demonic and spirits (spiritism).

“For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God\u2019s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32 (Amplified)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true\u2014in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS\u2014[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God\u2019s place in your heart]”<\/em> 1 John 5:19-21 (Amplified). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
