Fashion became my idol I had to literally give away so many clothes and stop buying more I still struggle and sometimes spend hours on online shopping sites or Pinterest starring at clothes I want to buy it’s tough please pray for me but I know that no shoe, bag or dress will ever be more beautiful or satisfying than Christ and it’s a sin I’m fighting in the power of Christ- whom the Son sets free is free in deed it’s just around the corner 🙏🏾
I was trying to look up if fashion is idolatry. I dont buy too much but I love to watch fashion shows and was thinking about studying fashion. I thought if I do it for his glory doesn't it matter who you are while creating this is so confusing because I live God
I idolised grades and it destroyed me when I didn't acheive what I wanted. I just thank God for doing this because I obsessed over them and attached my self-worth to grades . I coveted the grades of others but God has told me not to do so as their successes were based on hard-work mingled with herd mentality, bullying, slander, gossip and skipping classes for strategic puropses. It was hard to hear but in watching this video after what God said to me I am truly free and happy that the grades I acheived were by his grace and in the midst of low self-esteem and mild depression were actually a blessing.
I am struggling with this, my idol is entertainment. I am trying my best to get away from it. I am going to church, as much as i can, praying and reading my bible once everyday or once every other day at the least. God is leading me through it, amen
Mine is watching anime... God convicts me everyday and it just only today where i decided to stop it altogether. I may not be able to stop watching forever but atleast I could detach myself from it and gain more self control and discipline.
Amen, me too, my idol was kdrama, but I stopped watching it after God brought me out of backsliding for almost two months and realised that kdramas does not compare to God.
@@DerekPK dont take my word for this but its quarantine, pretty much the only thing i can do all day is play video games. just dont let video games become your God.
Behind the search for every idol lies the yearning for completion. To seek a special person or a thing to "add" to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you believe some form is missing, and by finding this, you will achieve completion in a form that you like. This is the purpose of an idol, that you will not look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete.
That is real. Thanks. All we we need is Love and compassion, forgiveness for our fellow man. To do onto others as I would have done upon myself. Simple as that.
@@blackreign3138 But remember: true forgiveness is the state of understanding the other person and their reasons for their behavior so clearly that you can say in all honesty - there is nothing to forgive. Therefore - FORGIVE - and if you cannot forgive easily because the selfhood will not let you - then bring your hurt and anger to God and ask for His inflow of Spiritual Directing Power to gently ease and remove the burden from your mind. Will religious teachers tell us this? No! They did not when Jesus was on earth - and they will not now. Indeed - those who occupy the highest positions in the most powerful nations and cause the most horrific damage in the world - are received with pomp and ceremonies - smiles and handshakes by religious teachers. The blind grip hands and give blessings to the blind. And as for: do unto others as you would do unto yourself - you're on point. But I would like to add more understanding to that - and that is: if other people do not want what you would have done unto yourself - then you live by trial and error; you have taken a positive step towards fulfilling an act of true Love and if it is rejected - you have given yourself an opportunity to find out what would be more greatly appreciated in the future. In this way do you grow in the act of Love.
This is why I’m having doubt about my faith because everything can be an idol and no matter what I do, it’s all idolatry and I’m just sick of feeling this way, I can’t see myself being saved, can anyone please give me any advice?
What's cool about this is that the the idols we put in front of God won't actually satisfy (look at the book of Ecc and your own life experience). So God wants what's best for us and commands us to not put idols in front of him because only in Him do we find real joy and peace.
Might be an uncomfortable question, but please bear with my curiosity. Would racism be a form of idolatry, because it exalts one race over another instead of what God intends to love each other like siblings. Then if one race truly is set to a particular role in society, then why did God create us as free willed creatures?
It may sound weird but I think that my idolatry are Asian dramas bc I only started watching one with my sister these 2 days and I can’t stop thinking about them I am having dreams and it’s like my heart is obsessing over them and I really need ppl to pray for me.
If the message of Jesus is forgiveness and love, why do ALL christians spend ALL of their time eagerly judging and persecuting others? What is a god? What is the definition? Do you agree or disagree: 1. god created EVERYthing 2. god KNOWS everything 3. god is all powerful and can do anything 4. god is perfect by definition and therefore cannot make mistakes Do you agree to all that? Then why pray? God can read your mind and already knows what you feel and think.

It is EVIL, pure and simple. Notice that the old (senile, afraid of dying) and the female (use emotions instead of logic to make decisions) are the prime targets of christian churches? Note the FACT that these churches are EAGER to condemn others, EAGER to stir up your emotions, EAGER to distract you.......just like trump. It's all about bigotry, fear, conforming. Evil. Do you not GET IT? This is how Hitler and Trump got power, by creating SCAPEGOATS. ALL RELIGION IS LIES, fantasy, irrationality.....the Very Worst that a human being could become.
I don't understand. I thought idolatry was loving something more than God. However, the pastor listed hobbies, sports teams, your job, music group that you're following, a nice lawn, etc. So is idolatry merely anything that we give enjoy and give our attention to other than the Almightly? Because if it's the latter, than it would seem like all Believers must live their lives like monks. Not, that's a bad thing.
I’ve had the word Jealous speak from my mouth. My spirit lies about who my God is. I have to miss out the word God sometimes and replace it with Jesus because I’m worried of my spirit extending my word with blasphemy. I’m offended. I’m worried that my backsliding back to pornography and me saying again some stupid stuff in my mind even idiocy out of my mouth that God has walked away from me... I dare not be alone on this planet. I do not want to live my old sinful life. I want deliverance I need forgiveness and renewing of my heart please Jesus.
Me too take one day at a time. If its hard one hour at a time. Even down to one minute at a time. Yes I was an idolatrous and filled with sexual immorality. I was dead meat to God. My sins offended God greatly. I am still praying for healing because I am broken wounds are too deep. Sometimes it feels dying will be best
Kayla Nguyen the bible says that “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her already committed adultery with her already in his heart . Matthew 5:28
The Creator is to be Worshipped and the Lord Jesus Christ for he said have no other Gods before thee.And Jesus said there is only one way to the Father God and that is through Jesus Christ to the Father.
The greatest idol is one of one's creation. They will always appear to be perfect and true. Mysterious and powerful because one will imagine it as a fact and not the empty clay vessel that can literally and or metaphorically be smashed that it is. One reason why roman catholic pagans worship their goddess in so many ways with so many names.
@@DerekPK Well, my brother, maybe with your new free time you could read more books or improve yourself in other areas; only you know what to do but best of luck..
Mine is a desire for a spouse and sexual intimacy.. Since this is a biological drive i dont know how to forever just let it go. Sometimes im successful at it for months..then sometimes the lack of it causes me to het angry and be disobedient and seek out ungodly relationships...
@@andersonali1553 "Soul ties" are powerful..if you had sex with her you created an ungodly soul tie which is why you cant let go. Witches use soul ties to connect themselves to people to makw it easier to manipulate/control you and put curses on you easier....break the soul tie in the name of Jesus through prayer and repentance. Throw away all items from her and get rid of her contact info and ask God to forgive you especially if you have had sex with her or did drugs with her. This happened to me before with a Narcissistic woman i knew. She would blatantly disrespect me and even would tell me her aim is to make me feel rejected by God..she was super demonic..but i could NOT let her go for some reason. Id eventually come back around....(and I'm definitely not the desperate type) eventually God had to literally seperate me from her by causing me to have to move..it was crazy
@@meeks4004 We haven't had sex but you know I have invested time and energy and feelings developed. One of ny desires is to have a wife and a family. So I will trust and wait on God to me that.

@@noneone8726 1 Cor 1:25 "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men" Humans mess up everything. From religion to politics...that doesn't make any of those things less valid, it merely shows our lack of integrity. As wise and intellectual as we perceive that we maybe we are merely made out of dust..We were created fickle by a superior being and were made to ultimately die. (We were actually created to worship and to be loved..) Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Where there is no Jesus, there is fear of death, but in Christ there is hope. I know your too wise for God, but if EVER you find yourself facing death or despair call out to God who is Jesus Christ and ask him to save you. I promise you that he will reveal himself to you as a real living being... It goes against all intellect, reason, and logic, but its real.... it's something that cannot be explained to you you just have to experience it yourself.. but once you experience it no one can tell you that it never happened... Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
"Thing/Person loved more than God, craved more than God, ENJOYED more than God" I have a hard time understanding "The enjoyment" part since everything God created is good and He made it for the purpose of pleasure/enjoyment, but not to love it more than Him but rather acknowledge Him as the one who created these and deserves our deepest heart desires. But then a question arises. "Sex" for example is created for the purpose of good pleasure and I honestly think that most of us have pleasure in it more than God. In this case, is sex in itself a sin when we ENJOY it more than God cuz He Himself created it for the purpose of pleasure right?
Good question..first off your question assumes that everyone loves sex more than God which simply isnt true..especially if youve been married to the same person for a countless number of years then sex loses its appeal and excitement that it had compared to the first time. Most married couples are not having freaky sex all over the place everyday..lol Secondly, if sex takes precedence over God in your life then it has become an idol but the act of enjoying sex in itself is not bad.. for example if you choose to have sex outside of marriage then you are disobeying God in order to have sex which then would make it an idol... or if you were a married person but you were more interested in having sex with your wife then praying reading the Bible or doing the Lord's work then it would be obvious that sex was an idol to you.. The thing is people are not turned on by actually having sex they are more turned on buy all the things that lead up to sex..or the prospect of having sex..this is why sex with strangers or sex outside of marriage is such an exciting and addicting thing.. it's not the climax that people are really after... it is the ride that leads up to the climax..
I have a belief that I do not bow to stone are marble are Wood are statues are Worship any idols are bow to any idols.And I bow to only the Father God and Jesus Christ and Worship only the Father God in Jesus Christ.
yeah. you can make "being a Christian" an idol and you can make the Bible an idol which can both be bad. the only idol you should have is the persons of the Triune God
Where do you live? America has different laws than the Vatican. They're old men, some never married so I guess they must be virgin. (No disrespect intended. )😁
Absolutely not, collecting items is a hobby, not idolatry. Idolatry is to have an extreme love and admiration for something or someone. In other words, idol worshipping is when you worship an image of a cult or a personal image of a person. This becomes dangerous when you love these things more than God. Now me, I am a fan of prince and Michael Jackson. I however do not worship them, nor do I make them my God. There's nothing wrong with loving something or someone because this is a natural feeling. We just have to learn how to balance the two.

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I the Lord will answer him by Myself.

No every good thing comes from above, as long as your not over doing it i guess. We take things for granted some don't have these games, just be greatful 😁❤
Whoosh I played video games for years and countless hours never thinking about God! One night I had the urge to stop playing early and found myself almost incapable of putting down the controller. That's when I knew I had a video game addiction so I prayed to God to let his will be done so that I can be free from video game addiction. And Instantly I lost complete interest in gaming 100 to 0!
I believe anything that take you away from God and from the true worship is idolatry...things like sports, worldly music, entertaiment, sexual excesses in a marriage, gluttony, fashion, lies, killings, hatred, fornication, pride, envy, worry, just to name a few !
IDOLATRY - Are you familiar with the Bible account of King Sennacherib of Assyria destroying many "Israelite" cities? People in those cities called themselves Israelites, yet their customs contradicted their claim. If they did not surrender to Sennacherib they were tortured / killed. Only Jerusalem was protected by Jehovah because King Hezekiah cleared IDOLATRY out of the city. Jehovah's angel killed 185,000 Assyrians in one night. 2 Kings 18:13, Isaiah 36, 37.

I spend before 5-7houer aday video games and 0-1min with God. Now I'm grounded from games and got addicted to humans. I want to be addicted to God and Jesus but I feel it's to boring. But I want to go to heaven because I don't like to suffer and hell is worst suffer ever, but I'm lazy and still not spend much time with God. I strugling with choosing right direction.
John Lennox had the same problem as you. He said in an interview that the biggest problem he had was that reading the bible was just boring. What helped him was being invited to a bible study group that took reading the Bible just as serious as he was with mathematics (or for you maybe video games?). This bible study session turned around his life because he learned that actual 'treasure' could be found in the Bible. What strengthened his passion for Christ even more was sharing the 'treasures' he discovered in the Bible with others. czcams.com/video/TNDRc9vv_G4/video.html (min 18:15; it’s in German thought :/) What I recommend to you: Go treasure hunting for answers to your deepest questions in the Bible. The truth is worth gold. Once you discover more and more truth, you won’t be able to stop conquering darkness and spreading light in the world for the glory of God and become an actual warrior in Christ.

Creating an idol IMAGE from the heart. Romans 1 [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an IMAGE made like to CORRUPTIBLE man , and to BIRDS, and FOURFOOTED BEASTS, and CREEPING things. One can create/make an image of their INDOOR animal as their god/idol from their heart either knowingly or unknowingly simply by leaning on it for the things God wants us to lean on HIM for and/or spending more time with it instead of God. Also sharing allegiance with eachother. Some of those things are protection, companionship, emotional comfort, LOVE from the heart, etc. Thus Idolatry Repent daily. There are miles of scriptures for all of them what God wants. They will not fit here. Romans 1 [25] Who changed the truth of God into a LIE, and worshipped and served the CREATURE MORE than the CREATOR, who is blessed for ever. Amen More is a measurement of time each day. Time spent daily reveals the God/god. God prefers atleast 51% time each day. GRAVEN is tooled. Made by mans hands. GRAVEN is not in romans 1 21-25. Lets not add words to scripture. IMAGE is ones perception of someone or something. It does not mean graven. Creatures are living breathing beings. Proverbs 30 5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Time spent daily reveals the God/god. NOW. HERE'S THE PROBLEM. The most popular common staple of american households currently is INDOOR animals. Theres Around 332 million people in the U.S. and over 240 million households in the U.S. and atleast 80 percent (192,000,000) have atleast one INDOOR animal. And growing. They have made/created images of their INDOOR animals as their gods by leaning on them for ways they shouldn't. Its THE THING. Its thought as normal. Its the new CANCER as its killing 80% of this country by damning their souls. Its more deadly than any CANCER before. Because it keeps killing even after death. So deadly we dont even have to believe in it or acknowledge it. Believe it or not, in the 70s, indoor animals were a RARETY. I grew up in the 70s. I hardly knew there were animals at all in the big cities. The mass covetness of indoor animals is really only about 35-40 years old. So its a fairly new LUST on a MASS scale. He is sooo cute. I gotta have it. Its coming home with me. The animal buffet. 1 john 2. KJV 16] For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. They are worshipping their self as their own god and facepalming God knowingly or unknowingly. NO EXCUSE. IDOLATRY The ways of idolatry are infinite. But indoor animals are among the most popular way of idolatry. REPENT Confess ones sin to God through Jesus and turn from their wicked ways is all one has to do. Gods grace will always be there till our last breath. Salvation is not a license to sin. Obedience is a must for Gods children. Unrepentance is iniquity. Repent daily. This is not a campaign against any animal. Its not their fault. Im raising awareness of IDOLATRY THROUGH INDOOR ANIMALS. Why indoor animals? Because INDOOR ANIMALS are more likley to become idols than outdoor animals through living in close quarters with people. Im not here to judge or condemn. Just to serve the Lord by raising awareness of these issues on this post. The Holy Spirit has been my guide all through my studies. Scripture can go and go and go and keep on going on this subject. Psalms 51 [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior. I am an idolatry teacher. Guided by the Holy Spirit. Showing my brothers in Christ and neighbors Love through the wisdom and knowledge of Gods word. Peace and blessings. Repent daily.
the nt upers the standards. mhhh lol did the coronavirus just save some souls? hahaha gg to the world... and gg to the spirtual world? nvm?... mad talk ish...?
Fashion became my idol I had to literally give away so many clothes and stop buying more I still struggle and sometimes spend hours on online shopping sites or Pinterest starring at clothes I want to buy it’s tough please pray for me but I know that no shoe, bag or dress will ever be more beautiful or satisfying than Christ and it’s a sin I’m fighting in the power of Christ- whom the Son sets free is free in deed it’s just around the corner 🙏🏾
I have problem with Toyota Prius, gaming, famous people and countries.
I was trying to look up if fashion is idolatry. I dont buy too much but I love to watch fashion shows and was thinking about studying fashion. I thought if I do it for his glory doesn't it matter who you are while creating this is so confusing because I live God
@@chosenone5360 I don’t know let’s pray about it 😔
I have been trying to start a brand because of my interest of clothing. But I have a fear of creating a idolatry for the brand.
I idolised grades and it destroyed me when I didn't acheive what I wanted. I just thank God for doing this because I obsessed over them and attached my self-worth to grades . I coveted the grades of others but God has told me not to do so as their successes were based on hard-work mingled with herd mentality, bullying, slander, gossip and skipping classes for strategic puropses. It was hard to hear but in watching this video after what God said to me I am truly free and happy that the grades I acheived were by his grace and in the midst of low self-esteem and mild depression were actually a blessing.
How are you now ? I know God loves all
I was the same thank God for salvation
Doesn't grades give people a job?
@@DerekPK yeah, but don't chase after them like you live off of them
I am struggling with this, my idol is entertainment. I am trying my best to get away from it. I am going to church, as much as i can, praying and reading my bible once everyday or once every other day at the least. God is leading me through it, amen
Same I deceived to get rid of my tv
Celebrity worship is also a form of modern idolatry
Blessed is he who believe without seeing, very interesting video
It's the priorities in your heart that matter. Anything can take the place of God in your heart if you let it.
Mine is watching anime... God convicts me everyday and it just only today where i decided to stop it altogether. I may not be able to stop watching forever but atleast I could detach myself from it and gain more self control and discipline.
Amen
Amen, me too, my idol was kdrama, but I stopped watching it after God brought me out of backsliding for almost two months and realised that kdramas does not compare to God.
Mine was kpop
mine is gaming.
@@DerekPK dont take my word for this but its quarantine, pretty much the only thing i can do all day is play video games. just dont let video games become your God.
Your idol is your favorite thing. And it doesn't even matter what your favorite thing is. What matters is that it's your favorite
Thank you for this very good explanation. I confessed my idolatry to God and asked for His forgiveness. This was an eye-opening video...thank you!
Behind the search for every idol lies the yearning for completion. To seek a special person or a thing to "add" to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you believe some form is missing, and by finding this, you will achieve completion in a form that you like. This is the purpose of an idol, that you will not look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete.
That is real. Thanks. All we we need is Love and compassion, forgiveness for our fellow man. To do onto others as I would have done upon myself. Simple as that.
@@blackreign3138
But remember: true forgiveness is the state of understanding the other person and their reasons for their behavior so clearly that you can say in all honesty - there is nothing to forgive.
Therefore - FORGIVE - and if you cannot forgive easily because the selfhood will not let you - then bring your hurt and anger to God and ask for His inflow of Spiritual Directing Power to gently ease and remove the burden from your mind.
Will religious teachers tell us this? No! They did not when Jesus was on earth - and they will not now.
Indeed - those who occupy the highest positions in the most powerful nations and cause the most horrific damage in the world - are received with pomp and ceremonies - smiles and handshakes by religious teachers. The blind grip hands and give blessings to the blind.
And as for: do unto others as you would do unto yourself - you're on point.
But I would like to add more understanding to that - and that is: if other people do not want what you would have done unto yourself - then you live by trial and error; you have taken a positive step towards fulfilling an act of true Love and if it is rejected - you have given yourself an opportunity to find out what would be more greatly appreciated in the future. In this way do you grow in the act of Love.
This is why I’m having doubt about my faith because everything can be an idol and no matter what I do, it’s all idolatry and I’m just sick of feeling this way, I can’t see myself being saved, can anyone please give me any advice?
You're not saved by having zero idols, you're saved through faith
Everything can be an idol if you put it before God. Let God AND HIS DESIRES be the most important aspect in your life and you will be OK.
What's cool about this is that the the idols we put in front of God won't actually satisfy (look at the book of Ecc and your own life experience). So God wants what's best for us and commands us to not put idols in front of him because only in Him do we find real joy and peace.
I believe in walking in love and not harming others.
Might be an uncomfortable question, but please bear with my curiosity.
Would racism be a form of idolatry, because it exalts one race over another instead of what God intends to love each other like siblings. Then if one race truly is set to a particular role in society, then why did God create us as free willed creatures?
Great message
It may sound weird but I think that my idolatry are Asian dramas bc I only started watching one with my sister these 2 days and I can’t stop thinking about them I am having dreams and it’s like my heart is obsessing over them and I really need ppl to pray for me.
God has me where going through the Gospel only.And no television and to pray to him.
Jesus Christ Is Our Lord and Savior ✝️❤️

I don't understand. I thought idolatry was loving something more than God. However, the pastor listed hobbies, sports teams, your job, music group that you're following, a nice lawn, etc. So is idolatry merely anything that we give enjoy and give our attention to other than the Almightly? Because if it's the latter, than it would seem like all Believers must live their lives like monks. Not, that's a bad thing.
I’ve had the word Jealous speak from my mouth. My spirit lies about who my God is. I have to miss out the word God sometimes and replace it with Jesus because I’m worried of my spirit extending my word with blasphemy. I’m offended. I’m worried that my backsliding back to pornography and me saying again some stupid stuff in my mind even idiocy out of my mouth that God has walked away from me... I dare not be alone on this planet. I do not want to live my old sinful life. I want deliverance I need forgiveness and renewing of my heart please Jesus.
How can I move on from this person, Its been 8 months and I can't seem to let him go... I don't know why and how to.
Me too take one day at a time. If its hard one hour at a time. Even down to one minute at a time. Yes I was an idolatrous and filled with sexual immorality. I was dead meat to God. My sins offended God greatly. I am still praying for healing because I am broken wounds are too deep. Sometimes it feels dying will be best

Throw away all items from her and get rid of her contact info and ask God to forgive you especially if you have had sex with her or did drugs with her.
This happened to me before with a Narcissistic woman i knew. She would blatantly disrespect me and even would tell me her aim is to make me feel rejected by God..she was super demonic..but i could NOT let her go for some reason. Id eventually come back around....(and I'm definitely not the desperate type) eventually God had to literally seperate me from her by causing me to have to move..it was crazy

1 Cor 1:25
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men"
Humans mess up everything. From religion to politics...that doesn't make any of those things less valid, it merely shows our lack of integrity. As wise and intellectual as we perceive that we maybe we are merely made out of dust..We were created fickle by a superior being and were made to ultimately die. (We were actually created to worship and to be loved..)
Hebrews 9:27
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"
Where there is no Jesus, there is fear of death, but in Christ there is hope. I know your too wise for God, but if EVER you find yourself facing death or despair call out to God who is Jesus Christ and ask him to save you. I promise you that he will reveal himself to you as a real living being... It goes against all intellect, reason, and logic, but its real.... it's something that cannot be explained to you you just have to experience it yourself.. but once you experience it no one can tell you that it never happened...
Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
2:50, so if I listen to music that helps me with my faith that is bad?

"Thing/Person loved more than God, craved more than God, ENJOYED more than God"
I have a hard time understanding "The enjoyment" part since everything God created is good and He made it for the purpose of pleasure/enjoyment, but not to love it more than Him but rather acknowledge Him as the one who created these and deserves our deepest heart desires.
But then a question arises. "Sex" for example is created for the purpose of good pleasure and I honestly think that most of us have pleasure in it more than God.
In this case, is sex in itself a sin when we ENJOY it more than God cuz He Himself created it for the purpose of pleasure right?
Good question..first off your question assumes that everyone loves sex more than God which simply isnt true..especially if youve been married to the same person for a countless number of years then sex loses its appeal and excitement that it had compared to the first time. Most married couples are not having freaky sex all over the place everyday..lol
Secondly, if sex takes precedence over God in your life then it has become an idol but the act of enjoying sex in itself is not bad.. for example if you choose to have sex outside of marriage then you are disobeying God in order to have sex which then would make it an idol... or if you were a married person but you were more interested in having sex with your wife then praying reading the Bible or doing the Lord's work then it would be obvious that sex was an idol to you..
The thing is people are not turned on by actually having sex they are more turned on buy all the things that lead up to sex..or the prospect of having sex..this is why sex with strangers or sex outside of marriage is such an exciting and addicting thing.. it's not the climax that people are really after... it is the ride that leads up to the climax..
I focus on how God gave us the good things
Sex was not created for the purpose of pleasure but rather it was created for reproduction so humans can multiply on earth.

Can you make things like going to heaven or being saved an idol
sounds like episode 120 might help answer that
Interesting point , Jesus and God are the only idols worth my attention 😁
being saved is a good idol then because it's Jesus who save you.
Why not idolize the person who gets you to heaven and saves you?
But yes those can be idols. We shouldn't idolize what God can give us but GOD HIMSELF
yeah. you can make "being a Christian" an idol and you can make the Bible an idol which can both be bad. the only idol you should have is the persons of the Triune God
Is using your phone too much idolatry?
Yes.God has turned me to him in the Worship of Jesus Christ as I have always believed.I did not believe in Any Other Worship before.
So if I have collected items do I have to get rid of them
Where do you live? America has different laws than the Vatican. They're old men, some never married so I guess they must be virgin. (No disrespect intended. )😁
I live in Cleveland
no, just recognize them for what they are: items. Worldly things. Never put them above yourself or your god
Absolutely not, collecting items is a hobby, not idolatry. Idolatry is to have an extreme love and admiration for something or someone. In other words, idol worshipping is when you worship an image of a cult or a personal image of a person. This becomes dangerous when you love these things more than God. Now me, I am a fan of prince and Michael Jackson. I however do not worship them, nor do I make them my God. There's nothing wrong with loving something or someone because this is a natural feeling. We just have to learn how to balance the two.

Woe is me? My sinfulness that I'm blinded to? Yup woe to me sins...... my weaknesses? Hmmm
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the Faith of Jesus
17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ
Rev.12 v.17
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith [testimony] of Jesus
Rev.14 v.12
10. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. KJV - Revelation 19:10
9. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.10. KJV - Revelation 22:9
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14:6-12 KJV
I highly recommend 'Conflict of the Ages' series of five books by Christian Author Ellen G. White
(Authentic Seer/Prophet of God).....
"Patriarchs and Prophets"
"Prophets and Kings"
"The Desire of Ages" ☆(Life of Jesus)☆
" The Acts of the Apostles"
"The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan" Ellen G.White, 1888, rev.1911
"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." GC 588.1
National Apostasy Will Be Followed by National Ruin
When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land, and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.-The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:977 (1888). LDE 133.5

Idolatry Will Be Punished....
Now some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them? “Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols, that I may seize the house of Israel by their heart, because they are all estranged from Me by their idols.” ’ “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I the Lord will answer him by Myself. I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. “And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I the Lord have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel. And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired, that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me, nor be profaned anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be My people and I may be their God,“ says the Lord God.’ ”
Ezekiel 14:1-11 NKJV
Is playing video games idolatry?
If you spend more time on video games and desire it more than spending time with Jesus then that is idolatry.
Anything you love more than God is idolatry
No every good thing comes from above, as long as your not over doing it i guess. We take things for granted some don't have these games, just be greatful 😁❤
I think if you play video games you get addicted.
Whoosh I played video games for years and countless hours never thinking about God! One night I had the urge to stop playing early and found myself almost incapable of putting down the controller. That's when I knew I had a video game addiction so I prayed to God to let his will be done so that I can be free from video game addiction. And Instantly I lost complete interest in gaming 100 to 0!
To hell with pornography man. I wish I lived before this time.
I believe anything that take you away from God and from the true worship is idolatry...things like sports, worldly music, entertaiment, sexual excesses in a marriage, gluttony, fashion, lies, killings, hatred, fornication, pride, envy, worry, just to name a few !
IDOLATRY - Are you familiar with the Bible account of King Sennacherib of Assyria destroying many "Israelite" cities? People in those cities called themselves Israelites, yet their customs contradicted their claim. If they did not surrender to Sennacherib they were tortured / killed. Only Jerusalem was protected by Jehovah because King Hezekiah cleared IDOLATRY out of the city. Jehovah's angel killed 185,000 Assyrians in one night.
2 Kings 18:13, Isaiah 36, 37. Search video "O Jehovah I Trust in You."
I spend before 5-7houer aday video games and 0-1min with God. Now I'm
grounded from games and got addicted to humans. I want to be addicted to
God and Jesus but I feel it's to boring. But I want to go to heaven
because I don't like to suffer and hell is worst suffer ever, but I'm
lazy and still not spend much time with God. I strugling with choosing
right direction.
John Lennox had the same problem as you. He said in an interview that the biggest problem he had was that reading the bible was just boring. What helped him was being invited to a bible study group that took reading the Bible just as serious as he was with mathematics (or for you maybe video games?). This bible study session turned around his life because he learned that actual 'treasure' could be found in the Bible. What strengthened his passion for Christ even more was sharing the 'treasures' he discovered in the Bible with others.
czcams.com/video/TNDRc9vv_G4/video.html (min 18:15; it’s in German thought :/)
What I recommend to you: Go treasure hunting for answers to your deepest questions in the Bible. The truth is worth gold. Once you discover more and more truth, you won’t be able to stop conquering darkness and spreading light in the world for the glory of God and become an actual warrior in Christ.
@@mooselee6699 If the message of Jesus is forgiveness and love, why do ALL christians spend ALL of their time eagerly judging and persecuting others?
What is a god? What is the definition?
Do you agree or disagree:
1. god created EVERYthing
2. god KNOWS everything
3. god is all powerful and can do anything
4. god is perfect by definition and therefore cannot make mistakes
Do you agree to all that?
Then why pray? God can read your mind and already knows what you feel and think.
If a god can do ANYTHING, why is there any need for books, churches, prayers, singing, prophets, preachers, bible study, religious debate, saviors, miracles, televangelists, signs, angels or any other nonsense?
A god could and would communicate UNAMBIGOUSLY and LOGICALLY, directly to each individual.
How do you account for the reality that there are literally dozens of churches who say emphatically that ALL the other churches are LIARS?
How do you account for the literally hundreds of self contradictions within the christian bible?
How do you account for the fact that there are literally dozens of versions of this supposedly perfect bible?
If the bible is so great, why is it so ridiculously ambiguous, irrational, hateful, and self contradicting? Why is it so easy to "prove" LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT by selectively quoting the bible?
Again, an all powerful god could and would communicate without intermediaries in an unambiguous logical fashion.
Where is the objective, factual, tangible, rational and scientifically verifiable PROOF of the existence of your god? "it says so in this old book" Yeah, well it says that you can come back to life in the Egyptian Book of The Dead, a MUCH older book.....so do you believe that one also?
What kind of a god would be petty enough to require you to grovel or beg?
If you are "sinful" ---WHO CREATED YOU? Who CREATED SIN?
What kind of sadist would create a world like that? Why would you obey, even worship, a sadist?
If the message of Jesus is forgiveness and love, why do ALL christians spend ALL of their time eagerly judging and persecuting others?
If heaven is so great, and you love god so much, why don't you just hurry up and kill yourself to go there?
The entire history of christianity is one of perpetual WAR, torture, famine, plague, poverty and ignorance.....look it up some time. Crusades, 100 years war, dark ages, pogroms, Kosovo, Ireland, etc etc etc. It never ends.
The bottom line is, superstition, aka religion, is an insult to all humanity.
The sledgehammering reality is, christian con men prey on the poor, the frightened and the Low IQ trailer trash who are so desperate that they will latch onto anything that offers some shred of hope.....jesus, heroin, multi level marketing scams, infomercials, nascar, country music, beer, World Wresting Federation, cigarettes, incest, the KKK, guns, WalMart, moonshine, donald trump......BIBLE BELT, Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell, reagan, hitler
POVERTY, IGNORANCE ( low IQ) and CHRISTIANITY are all one and the same thing.
christianity preys on the weak and the stupid and the fearful. It is EVIL, pure and simple.
Notice that the old (senile, afraid of dying) and the female (use emotions instead of logic to make decisions) are the prime targets of christian churches?
Note the FACT that these churches are EAGER to condemn others, EAGER to stir up your emotions, EAGER to distract you.......just like trump, just like hitler.
It's all about bigotry, fear, conforming. You can ignore your own flaws if you focus on the flaws of others.........religion is Evil.
Do you not GET IT? This is how Hitler and Trump got power, by creating SCAPEGOATS.
ALL RELIGION IS LIES, fantasy, irrationality.....the Very Worst that a human being could become: insane, guided only by emotion, not Objective Logic. Guided by delusions, by feelings. As low as an animal, subhuman. That is a religious person.
If anything or anyone attempts to use your FEELINGS to control you, murder that person.
If anyone, such as myself, attempts to use OBJECTIVE LOGIC to speak to you, listen.
You sound like you don't believe you are saved through faith alone. You sound like you really believe in God, heaven and hell, but not the true gospel. Put all your trust in your righteousness being from what Jesus did and not yourself and God might give you the right hungers naturally from there.
Idolatry is as American as apple pie. It’s all we really do. Money, cars, clothes, fame, then we thank God for it all. Blasphemy.
Wife, Husband, kids, goals, money. If you don't give away your money you are against GOD.
that is a lie
No one is getting to heaven then
Except for monks and clergy I guess

John piper you are wrong on this and your work based salvation. God says to deeply desire the good gifts that he has given us. 1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way.

Is beeing a fan of Mark Zuckerberg a sin?
no
Creating an idol IMAGE from the heart.
Romans 1
[23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an IMAGE made like to CORRUPTIBLE man , and to BIRDS, and FOURFOOTED BEASTS, and CREEPING things.
One can create/make an image of their INDOOR animal as their god/idol from their heart either knowingly or unknowingly simply by leaning on it for the things God wants us to lean on HIM for and/or spending more time with it instead of God.
Also sharing allegiance with eachother.
Some of those things are protection, companionship, emotional comfort, LOVE from the heart, etc. Thus Idolatry
Repent daily.
There are miles of scriptures for all of them what God wants.
They will not fit here.
Romans 1
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a LIE, and worshipped and served the CREATURE MORE than the CREATOR, who is blessed for ever. Amen
More is a measurement of time each day.
Time spent daily reveals the God/god. God prefers atleast 51% time each day.
GRAVEN is tooled. Made by mans hands. GRAVEN is not in romans 1 21-25. Lets not add words to scripture.
IMAGE is ones perception of someone or something. It does not mean graven.
Creatures are living breathing beings.
Proverbs 30
5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Time spent daily reveals the God/god.
NOW. HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
The most popular common
staple of american households currently is INDOOR animals. Theres Around 332 million people in the U.S. and over 240 million households in the U.S. and atleast 80 percent (192,000,000) have atleast one INDOOR animal. And growing.
They have made/created images of their INDOOR animals as their gods by leaning on them for ways they shouldn't.
Its THE THING.
Its thought as normal.
Its the new CANCER as its killing 80% of this country by damning their souls.
Its more deadly than any CANCER before. Because it keeps killing even after death.
So deadly we dont even have to believe in it or acknowledge it.
Believe it or not, in the 70s, indoor animals were a RARETY. I grew up in the 70s. I hardly knew there were animals at all in the big cities.
The mass covetness of indoor animals is really only about 35-40 years old.
So its a fairly new LUST on a MASS scale.
He is sooo cute. I gotta have it. Its coming home with me.
The animal buffet.
1 john 2. KJV
16] For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
They are worshipping their self as their own god and facepalming God knowingly or unknowingly. NO EXCUSE. IDOLATRY
The ways of idolatry are infinite. But indoor animals are among the most popular way of idolatry.
REPENT
Confess ones sin to God through Jesus and turn from their wicked ways is all one has to do. Gods grace will always be there till our last breath.
Salvation is not a license to sin. Obedience is a must for Gods children.
Unrepentance is iniquity.
Repent daily.
This is not a campaign against any animal. Its not their fault.
Im raising awareness of IDOLATRY THROUGH INDOOR ANIMALS.
Why indoor animals? Because INDOOR ANIMALS are more likley to become idols than outdoor animals through living in close quarters with people.
Im not here to judge or condemn. Just to serve the Lord by raising awareness of these issues on this post.
The Holy Spirit has been my guide all through my studies.
Scripture can go and go and go and keep on
going on this subject.
Psalms 51
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior.
I am an idolatry teacher.
Guided by the Holy Spirit.
Showing my brothers in Christ and neighbors Love through the wisdom and knowledge of Gods word.
Peace and blessings.
Repent daily.
Wrath of God? OMG. Ridiculous
the nt upers the standards. mhhh
lol did the coronavirus just save some souls? hahaha gg to the world... and gg to the spirtual world? nvm?... mad talk ish...?
mh amen the futility of idolatry~ equals an empty hole in heart? vanities...
dang the christian life is like impossible unless god helps (holy spirit)
hmmm this faith life is balling~
true pastors are like the buffest ~ true Christians~
Idolatry is worship other than god like you worship Jesus
Christianity is idolatry.
