The Bible regards idolatry as devil worship and a form of identity theft. Christians must have the same attitude as Jeremiah, who questioned whether people would again make gods for themselves that are not gods. The Old Testament writers described idols as dung gods or gods of dung, showing contempt for them. The high places where pagans worshiped were not God's intention, but rather a plan B for the Jews. God worked through men like Samuel, but also had to deal with men like Hophni, Phineas, and Eli. Jesus went out of his way to save a Samaritan woman, showing that he is tolerant of ignorance and bad times. However, the truth is offensive to idolaters, who condemn it and are intolerant of its condemnation. The Bible teaches that Christians should not have fellowship with demons or participate in their worship. The high places of the pagans were where they worshiped their false gods, and the Jews were allowed to worship there for a time, but it was not God's intention. The Bible teaches that Christians should not worship at high places or participate in pagan worship. Instead, they should seek the place where God chooses to put his name and worship there.

A godly person will not make up things about God or create idols, but rather will seek to understand and follow God's word. [... more]
