Worship Who?
"Worship no other god." - Exodus 34:14
"(If you) follow other gods and serve them and worship them...you shall surely
perish." - Deuteronomy 8:19
What are false idols, or "other gods?"
The phrase "other gods" simply refers to "wrong beliefs," or "beliefs contrary to the truth."
Jeremiah 13:10 proclaims:
"the worship of other gods (or untruths, wrong thoughts/beliefs) are unprofitable."
An idol is something that replaces who God really is...Spirit.
In other words, we mentally disconnect from the truth via incorrect thinking.
The only thing that can temporarily replace God is religion, and it stands in the way of the truth, which is
Spirit.
To worship a god, or a "false idol," is simply to be mistaken in one's beliefs.
But, beliefs can change, as they are mistakes....forgivable errors in understanding.
Yet, false beliefs still can be unprofitable...even hurtful to a person because of the fearful, emotional
bondage that can be created, most often through religion.
Untruths turn God into being something different than what the Divine Spirit is; even one to be feared.
So, who and how do we worship?
To worship is to "revere." Revere, or pay attention to the inner guide of Spirit within you.
